Packaging design is a crucial aspect of the product development process, as it plays a significant role in attracting and retaining customers. Good packaging design not only enhances the visual appeal of a product but also communicates its brand identity, functionality, and other important information to the consumers. As a leading packaging design company, we understand the importance of packaging design and provide comprehensive guidance to our customers throughout the entire process.
Our packaging design guidance includes helping our customers finalize their design ideas, selecting the appropriate paper packaging style, choosing the right paper material, and even adding inserts if needed. We believe that a successful packaging design should not only look visually appealing but also be functional, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly.
If you are wondering how to find the right packaging for your product or how to find a reliable packaging company to work with, look no further. Our team of experienced designers and packaging experts is here to help you every step of the way. So, let’s work together to create packaging solutions that not only meet but exceed your expectations.
Paper Packaging Style Choice
As a first step to set up your packaging design, you need to choose the best box styles from the below link: For professional reader version: click here For accessible understanding version: click here. After selecting, let us know. Better to send us the screenshot or the packaging style code, and tell us the correct size, then we would send you the layout. Problems always stay here: What if I do not know the size of my packaging? It still has three situations here:
- I have my old packaging sample on hand
- I only have a product sample in my hand
- I do not have products on hand but have designed for the products
- I didn’t have anything, have a product model in my mind. Let’s figure out each problem together.
How To Measure A Paper Box
Great tips on measuring the size of paper boxes and paper bags! This is especially useful for those who are new to ordering custom packaging. It’s always important to ensure that the size and dimensions of the packaging are correct before placing an order to avoid any issues with product fit or shipping.
Providing a sample to the supplier is also a smart way to ensure that the new packaging meets your expectations and that any issues with previous packaging can be addressed.
How to measure a paper box
If your products have a standard shape, such as round or square, or a common shape, please let us know the size by providing a picture. For round tube-shaped products, we only need to know the diameter and length.
If you haven’t measured the package with so many sides, we kindly ask you to send us a sample of the product so we can develop the correct size packaging for you. It’s important to note that a box has both inner and outer dimensions. The inner dimension refers to the actual size of the room inside the package, while the external dimension is measured from the outside of the box. If you’re unsure about the dimensions, we’ll assume that the inner dimensions are what you need.
This situation often occurs with 3D products, such as foam inserts for boxes or other individual items. Simply send us the design work, whether it’s a 3D or 2D file, and our professional designer will research and create a suitable package design for you. It’s best to confirm the size first through evaluation. We’ll make mock-up samples for you to test the packaging products. We also offer a 3D model of the package for you. Later in the article, we’ll explain how to demonstrate a box model to our customers.
Congratulations on your business! We understand that it can be difficult to test package setups, but with our years of experience in box packing solutions, we have many solutions to make things more interesting than annoying. Firstly, let us know what product you are selling, and we will conduct market research to get more details about it.
From there, we can determine the approximate size of the packaging and send you several options for confirmation. We will also offer several box designs for you to choose from, with each structure tailored to your product.
By working together, we can come up with the best packaging idea and solution for your product. For example, Mr. Mark Guo in our company once helped a wine business customer. Initially, the customer only provided information about their wine business, but our designer conducted research on all bottle sizes and created ten box designs for the customer.
Eventually, they settled on a 330ml bottle and a beautifully designed package for marketing. We are proud to have helped them grow their business. After we receive your confirmation, we will send the die-cut for your approval, and continue with artwork finishing or proceed to production.
Customized box die-line layout file
In the design field, it is recommended to use design files created by Adobe software such as Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Photoshop, or CorelDRAW. The final file format should be in PSD, AI, PDF, or CDR format, and it should be high resolution so that we can print the packaging design in better quality. If the box requires a foam insert, you will need to provide a 3D file, and we suggest using CAD software to create it. You can click the link to download the software.

Finished box packaging artwork
Please note that the marks on the design files are essential when applying printing finishes such as UV varnish, hot foil stamping, or embossing. If you are finishing the artwork yourself, be sure to include these marks so that our production workers know where to apply the finish. If we are finishing the artwork for you, please provide us with images and instructions for where to place the finish. Our designers will follow design rules to ensure that your artwork is suitable for reading and redesigning, as well as for installation on the printing machine.
3D box design demonstration
Some customer always asks us for a demonstration of their box design before samples or bulk order production. It is essential for us also. We bought professional 3D design software for our customers, and after we finish the design, you will see the real sample in 3D files or pictures. From this step, we have a general review of what to do, that’s great!
Box Mock-up Service
Sometimes, you may need static mock-up pictures of your products to preview the printing and see what the boxes will look like before ordering a sample. We can fully assist you with this process. Below are some box mock-up samples that we can customize to fit your design and idea.
