The secret to produce impressive cardboard shoe boxes

1. The benefits of cardboard shoe boxes

The container says a lot about the product inside; the more luxurious and detailed the box is, the more valuable and reliable the product is. Shoe boxes also have great benefits, such as:

Preserving the product

Paper shoe boxes are essential items to help preserve the shoes from light, temperature, humidity, scratches, and stains from packaging, transportation, and display on the shelves until they are placed in the consumer's cart.

Increasing the value of brand shoes

A shoebox is a storage box and a means for businesses to advertise their products. All information, such as logos, slogans, and designs on the box, will gently help build the branding in customers' minds.
 

 
Make a good impression on customers right from the product packaging

A good pair of shoes with a luxurious shoe box will help customers feel good and want to buy more. A nice-looking shoe box will greatly increase the value of products and brands.

Protect the environment from cardboard shoe boxes

Shoe boxes are recyclable and readily biodegradable. Using paper boxes is a way to express the responsibility of the business to society and increase the sympathy and affection of customers. You can use recycled cartons, kraft, or FSC-certified paper cartons (wood products are sourced and strictly managed).

2. What should you pay attention to when making cardboard shoe boxes?

Instead of putting shoes in a plain carton box, brands can try different designs and materials for more impressive packaging.

 
Select the shoe box structure suitable for the product

Each brand will have different product lines with specific characteristics of size and styles, such as children's shoes, high heels, or sports shoes. For heavy and oversized shoes, the box must be significant, made from heavy quantitive paper, and the shape strong enough to preserve the product during transportation.
 
Some brands want to save money, so they want to print a generic size box to store different models of shoes. This method will limit the preservation of products. If you keep shoes in a container that is too wide, the shoes will hit the box, which makes customers feel unsatisfied while carrying the box. On the other hand, if the package is too narrow compared to the shoe, the shoe will be distorted, and its form will be changed.
 
The popular shoe box styles include yin and yang boxes (box & lid), instant boxes with covers (self-locking boxes), and sliding lid boxes.

Select the suitable material for shoe boxes

Paper is critical because it will significantly affect the structure as well as the durability of the box. Usually, shoe boxes will be made from:

• Construct typically three layers (2 layers of paper and one layer of corrugated paper)
• Paper materials: Duplex, Ivory, Kraft, Couche
• Paper corrugated material: E, B, C
• Printing methods: Offset, flexo, digital - in which offset printing is suitable for printing products that need high-quality, sharp images. Offset and flexo printing are ideal for large quantities thanks to significant cost savings.
• Different processes on the surface, such as vanishing,  UV coating, glossy/matte lamination, embossing, and metal pressing, help increase the good feelings of customers.

Display brand elements on the box

A shoe box model should contain basic information about the business (logo, brief introduction, address, slogan) and product information (material, size, and storage). It makes your shoe box model more impressive and helps customers remember your store and brand.
 
In addition to paper boxes, a minor detail when making shoe packaging is paper bags and tag labels. They need to be designed uniformly and carefully selected, like shoe paper boxes. The uniform color and clear message will help customers identify themselves more easily.

 
Carefully supervise the design process of shoe boxes

Once you have an idea for your shoebox design, you must choose a reputable cardboard shoe box company.

You will go through the following steps:

• Step 1: Exchange ideas with the packaging company for design. (This step is usually omitted if you already have the artwork file.)
• Step 2: The packaging company will design the structure and image
• Step 3: After latching the design, the printer will test the packaging (print proof, make a blank).
• Step 4: Frame and publish the packaging prints
• Step 5: Printing paper box and processing after printing packaging
• Step 6: Check quality and delivery

3. The ways to store cardboard shoe boxes

Regularly check

You have designed a paper box warehouse that meets the requirements, but this is not all. Make sure you or your staff check the warehouse regularly. If termites or mold are detected, measures should be taken before the number of carton boxes is affected. Besides, do not forget to monitor the electrical system, agents that can catch fire.

 
Store in a cool, dry place

The first requirement is storing the box in a cool, dry place. Paper is a very absorbent material and termites. If the storage is damp, and there are insects or rodents, the number of boxes will soon be damaged and no longer worth using. To avoid this, you must clean up the box and use other insecticides before putting the box in the warehouse.
 

 
Priority to quality paper for shoe box printing

One of the most critical factors affecting shoe boxes during storage is the quality of the original printing paper. For high-quality paper, the shoe box will be made more durable, more sturdy and, when stored, will also somewhat limit the process of damage.
 
Therefore, when printing shoe boxes for long-term use, you should choose good paper; this is both time-saving, cost-effective, and well-preserved.
 

 
Sort by box type, numbering notes

Cardboard shoe boxes come in a variety of sizes. Therefore, for efficient storage in the warehouse, reduce search time, depending on the needs of the users, and sort and streamline.
 
You can sort by barrel properties based on shoe size and type of shoe for men, women, adults, or children. You can also sort by area based on style: box with or without lid, yin or yang, printed or not printed, and the required numbers for control.
