What is box structure design
Structural design refers to the engineered construction and integrity of a printed packaging box to make it sturdy, protective, and functionally reliable for its intended contents and purpose.
We provide you with better details
Materials and Wall Strength
Selecting suitable cardboard or corrugated board materials and calibrating the wall thickness and density to offer sufficient strength without excessive bulk.
Locking structures
Structural design might incorporate tabs, tucks, and locking flaps to securely close the box.
Reinforcing edges
Structural weak points are often the corners and edges. Reinforced edges with multiple cardboard layers or metal staples help prevent crushing or tearing.
Load Testing
Structurally testing packaging designs with weighted loads to simulate stacking and compression during transport and storage. This validates the packaging's ability to withstand expected rigors.
Optimized Dimensions
Tailoring packaging dimensions to efficiently fit intended contents while conforming to standard pallet sizes, shipping container spacing, retail shelf space and other practical considerations.
Functional Elements
Adding handles, windows, opening instructions or other ergonomic and brand-focused details as compatible structural elements.

How we can provide you with structural design
We are good at structural innovation, precise printing, exquisite surface treatment, and provide a variety of box type customization to ensure that your packaging design is unique and of excellent quality.
Internal structure
We will design the internal structure according to the characteristics and protection needs of the product. For example, for fragile items, we will design anti-shock cushioning layer, such as foam or air cushion, to reduce the impact during transportation. For products that need to be displayed, we may design transparent windows or display windows to make the products more attractive on the shelves.
We’ll also consider internal compartments to separate different product parts or accessories to ensure they don’t move around or bump into each other inside the box.
- Recommend best solution based on product size, shape, weight, fragility
- Prevents damage, enhances unboxing experience
Compartments & padding
For extra protection, we add compartments and padding to the inside of the box. These can be foam, cardboard, plastic or fabric, depending on the sensitivity of the product and the level of protection required.
We calculate the thickness and distribution of the padding to ensure stability during transportation, while avoiding over-packaging and reducing material waste.
- Separate different components or quantities
- Variety of protective liner materials
Support structures
For products that require additional support, we design sturdy support structures, such as corner braces, edge reinforcements or internal frames, to enhance the overall strength and stability of the box.
These support structures not only protect the product, but also increase the weight-bearing capacity of the box to a certain extent, ensuring safety during stacking or transportation.
- Thickness, shape, material provide load-bearing support
- Structural design techniques optimize corner, edge, surface support
Opening
The design of the opening needs to take into account the user experience and the accessibility of the product. We will provide a variety of opening options, such as full-open, half-open, magnetic closure, zipper, etc., to meet the needs of different customers.
For packages that need to be opened and closed frequently, we prioritize durable and easy-to-open mechanisms.
- Custom openings like perforated tear strips, pull-tabs, lift-off lids
- Intuitive designs for easy content access without frustration
Sealing method
The sealing method is crucial to maintain product freshness and prevent contamination. We choose the right sealing material according to the product’s characteristics, such as adhesive tape, heat-sealing film, self-adhesive seals, and so on.
For products that need to be protected from moisture, dust or maintain a specific gas environment, we will also consider using special sealing techniques such as vacuum packaging or gas-conditioned packaging.
- Options from tuck-in flaps to sealed-seam carton styles
- Tamper-evidence or easy re-closure
