Supplies
·
Box cutter
·
Decorations
·
Measurer
·
Cardboard or box material
·
Packing tape
Steps
·
Take the cardboard and box cutter and open the
cardboard so that you can shape it as you like.
·
Take the object you are going to send and use it
to measure the dimensions of the box and cut accordingly
·
Fold the box to fit tightly around the product.
·
Put the finishing touches on the box, so that it
looks good and so that the item does not fall or break. Then use the packing
tape to seal the box. If the object is fragile, I suggest insulating the box
with materials such as bubble wrap, tissue paper, or packing peanuts, etc.
·
Finally, decorate by adding a company logo or
just make it pretty, as you wish.
Alternatives
If you're not the creative type
to imagine a particular type of custom painting, don't worry. There are a wide
variety of custom box templates to choose from. Some include
·
An oven-shaped template for baked goods
·
Trunk boxes for shoes
·
Pre-made candy boxes
Etc.
Question and answer
One of the questions I hear a lot
about DIY custom boxes is how they are better than just buying pre-made Printed
Custom Boxes made by professionals. Well, in the case of DIY:
·
They are usually cheaper than going through a
manufacture
·
You have much more control over how the process
is done
·
Sometimes manufacturers do not allow you to add
an addition you want
·
Sometimes manufacturers in your area don't have
a particular material that you need or want.
In support of buying it from a
store, some might say:
·
When building, you waste time, which can lead
you to lose money and nobody wants to lose money.
·
There is no guarantee for homemade products, so
in the event that your box breaks, you will have to start over and spend more
money.
·
There is questionable quality in handmade items
such as boxes.
The choice is up to you, as an
entrepreneur or simply as a creative craftsman, it is up to you to make some
tough decisions considering your products and the boxes you use.
