The 5 Layers Carton Is Good Ideal To Use As The Outer Carton
We must use a 5-layer corrugated outer carton instead of a 3-layer outer carton. The 5-layer corrugated outer box is sturdier. The size of the outer box must be appropriate. We have different sizes of outer cartons, but we generally use the following two methods if we really can’t find a suitable size.
- Fill the gap with some packaging materials; it could be bubble film, cardboard, or wrapping paper.
- If the carton is much larger, we modify the size of the carton directly; we are very good at doing it.
Although it takes some time, it is worth it because your customers will appreciate your hard work when they receive that perfect gift box.
