With so many different types of packaging out there nowadays, it can be confusing and daunting to figure out what best suits your brand and your actual product. Mainly if your brand offering consists of more than one type of product shape, structure and size. In today’s world, nothing comes without a price tag; printing takes a considerable amount of planning and consideration before hitting the green light on the job and of course, we all want to avoid making the wrong decision especially due to a lack of guidance and knowledge about what will bring the best out of your product(s).
In this blog post, we look at what we offer at Impress Printers and some guidance around what is suitable for your product type(s) to help you make an informed decision.
Cardboard/corrugated box
The most common and simple packaging material is cardboard: you encounter this material with retail packaging, mailer or shipping boxes and much more. What’s great about this material is its versatility, recyclability and simplicity. Here’s why:
- Cardboard is essentially comprised of 3 layers of brown craft paper
- It is trendy amongst brands, especially for e-commerce usage
- It has both protective and cushioning qualities which are perfect for transporting goods
- Space and versatility for brand customisation (multiple-sided)
- You can recycle it!
- The printing quality is high
We recommend opting for this material for its durability, branding possibilities and affordability. You cannot go wrong with this for packaging your products and shipping them off to your client(s) and at the same time creating a lasting and effective marketing and branding experience.

Paperboard
This material is ideal for packaging items such as cosmetics, medication and more perishable items. At impress printers, we offer two types of paperboard product boxes: white product boxes and kraft product boxes. Our white product boxes are better at holding items that could potentially spill i.e. moisture resistance.
Our kraft option, however, is perfect for those looking for a natural or environmentally-friendly look and feel. This option is not recommended for items that have moisture though. Shop our product boxes here, with a range of sizes, finishes and customisation options for you to choose from!
Poly bags
A poly bag is essentially malleable, thin plastic film fabric and is great for carrying a range of different items: you can pack almost anything in these, and what’s particularly special about this one is that it is very protective from external elements.
Our poly bags are durable, lightweight, reusable and flexible and come with an adhesive strip to make sure you can conveniently seal your package. Our poly bags are fully customisable, so you don’t have to lose out on a complete branding and customer experience!
Effective branding and packaging require the extra mile, but we promise that you are bound to achieve exceptional results.
