Back in 2012, Packsize posted a blog post titled, “Do you need a Box Maker’s Certificate?” This article is to address how to get information about Box Maker’s Certificates, the requirements for having a certificate, and additional regulations relating to shipping fiberboard corrugated boxes.

Everybody has their reasons. Be it environmental concerns, sheer convenience or cutting-edge preferences, the way we get goods in the mail is changing and it’s for the best. We’re specifically talking about shipping here and it’s safe to say that the industry—like many other century-old traditions—is undergoing a much-needed modern revolution. One of the reasons for this shift is an on-demand service, which allows companies to design and produce custom corrugated boxes. The end result is a box that is so much more than just a box.

Customers want their products to arrive in one, reasonably sized box. Having a custom box ensures that this concern is addressed, as better-fitting boxes reduce the need for filler and in turn create a safer package. As a custom packaged box is smaller than the average corrugated cardboard package, there’s less waste for consumers to have to deal with —clearly a win-win for your business and its customers.

Why is corrugated cardboard the best packaging material? The Iroquois had a saying: “In every deliberation, we must consider the impact on the seventh generation…even if it requires having skin as thick as the bark of a pine.” This was called the Great Law of the Iroquois, and it’s something often adopted today to discuss sustainability.

We have to disagree with Neil deGrasse Tyson on a point he made in an article he wrote in the ’90s, and has since reiterated in a recent interview.

Companies of all sizes and in various industries are realizing how economically sound it is to have a custom box-making machine as part of their packaging environment. These On Demand Packaging® machines help speed up the shipping process while saving costs. The company’s customers become the ultimate beneficiary due to the improved service.

Packsize was founded on the idea that companies don’t have to sacrifice revenue or quality to bring their customers sustainable products. Today is Earth Day, so we wanted to take a moment to share a few resources that can help you and your business be more sustainable.

Product packaging plays a significant role across every industry, from furniture and cabinetry, to electronics and clothing. Your product packaging must effectively protect the product, while eliciting a positive impression from your customers. The best way to achieve these and many other goals is through custom product packaging. If you’re still using a standard box for all your products, it’s time for a change. Here’s why you need custom packaging design.

The term “corrugated” means “to draw or bend into folds or alternate furrows and ridges.” It's these folds that create strength.

Experience the demonstration we set up for Pack Expo. With just an EM7 and a few pieces of equipment, we were able to create a mini-packaging line that can be fully operated in eight easy steps. So here’s the video, followed by some quick commentary for each step.

Online shopping has become more prevalent across many retail sectors, including furniture. Buying furniture online offers numerous benefits, but comes with some problems.

Think about every action or movement in your supply chain. Do your customers derive value from this action? If not, that’s a waste.
