How to choose the right box material
The Eagle Boxes Team · · 4 min read
Choosing a box material is the first real decision in a packaging project, and it shapes cost, protection and how your brand feels in hand.
Kraft is natural, recyclable and affordable, with an earthy look that suits sustainable and artisan brands. Corrugated adds fluted strength for shipping and heavier products. Rigid chipboard, wrapped in printed paper, delivers a luxury feel for high-value retail. White SBS is the smoothest surface for vivid, detailed print.
Start from how the product ships and sells, then let finish and print do the branding work. When in doubt, order a sample kit and hold the options before you commit.
