1. Determine the size and weight of the goods
To produce long cardboard boxes that suit your needs, there are two criteria to avoid waste and maximize the product protection ability of the shipping box: size and weight of the goods.
Size
Firstly, you need to measure the size of the items to be transported accurately. Measure the object's length, width and height, then increase the shipping box size by 2-3cm to insert paper splints, shaped trays or bubble wrap to protect the product.
Besides cardboard boxes with typical lengths, you need to accurately measure the size of the goods to adjust and customize the long box for shipping.
Weight
On the other hand, measuring the weight of products is an essential part of deciding the thickness of corrugated materials used for shipping boxes. The long packaging boxes must have standard rigidity to maximize the protective function.

Ability to protect goods

Cost-effective shipping packaging
Compared to size, although this type of long shipping box has an outstanding length, the width is very narrow to suit specific goods. Therefore, compared to the spread size, long box packaging will be smaller, significantly reducing costs.
