Double insertion box is the most common type of paper box packaging on the market, with the same sockets on both sides. After die-cutting, printing, pasting, folding, and finally forming, the design structure is relatively simple. The double insertion box can be called the ancestor of paper packaging boxes and is the most primitive box type.
Suitable for small and lightweight products (such as toothpaste boxes, beauty products, medicines, flower tea, etc.)
Advantages: Simple production process, affordable printing price
Disadvantages: relatively conventional, low differentiation; The bottom is not easy to carry heavy items
The buckle bottom box is named after its buckle bottom structure, which has better load-bearing capacity than double insertion boxes. On the surface, it looks no different from a double plug box, but when you open the unfolded picture, you can see the difference at the bottom. The top of the buckle box has a socket, and the bottom has a buckle bottom, which has a better load-bearing effect.
Advantages: The printing price is cheap, and due to the simple production process, the printing cost is low, making it suitable for mass production.
Disadvantages: The design of the dual plug box is relatively conventional, with low differentiation, making it difficult to stand out among many products.
The airplane box, as the name suggests, is named after its unfolded appearance that resembles an airplane, and uses structural design to achieve a unified pear shape
No need to paste boxes, which can save processing costs. Used for packaging goods that are not too large in size and easy to transport, such as clothing, peripherals, jewelry, small appliances, etc.
