Other accessories for packaging
| Accessories | Common Uses in Boxes | Key Considerations & Production Issues |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Ribbons/Strings | Gift box decoration, tying closures | Secure knots to avoid loosening; fraying or weak fibers cause breakage during handling. Search: “box ribbon durability issues” |
| 2. Magnets | Premium box closures (e.g., luxury packaging) | Align polarity precisely; weak adhesion or misalignment causes failed seals. Search: “magnetic box closure misalignment” |
| 3. PVC Windows | Display boxes (showcasing contents) | Prevent scratches during install; hazing or tears reduce product visibility. Search: “clear PVC box window defects” |
| 4. Thank-You Cards/Tags | Branding, care instructions | Verify size compatibility; trimming errors or ink smudges make text illegible. Search: “custom box insert card sizing” |
| 5. Tissue/Wrapping Paper | Product cushioning, aesthetic filler | Use acid-free paper; dye transfer stains products in humid conditions. Search: “non-bleed gift box tissue paper” |
| 6. Stickers | Seals, branding, barcodes | Ensure adhesive strength; peeling or bubbling occurs with poor glue application. Search: “box sticker adhesive failure” |
| 7. Envelopes/Cards | Certificates, coupons, inserts | Reinforce corners; thin material bends or tears during insertion. Search: “rigid box card holder design” |
| 8. Paper Bands/Sleeves | Box bundling, security seals | Optimize tension; over-tightening causes creasing or tearing. Search: “cardboard box sleeve breakage” |
| 9. 3M Tapes | Hidden closures, reinforcement | Clean surfaces before applying; adhesive failure leads to delamination. Search: “3M foam tape box bonding” |
| 10. Eyelets/Grommets | Reinforcing handle holes, rope guides | Install evenly; misaligned holes weaken structural support. Search: “box reinforcement eyelet installation” |
- Branding Elements: Add logos/patterns to ribbons, tags, sleeves, or tissue paper via stamping, embossing, or digital printing (ensure color accuracy and material compatibility).
- Size Adjustments: Modify ribbon length, booklet dimensions, or envelope sizes to align with packaging scale (e.g., 15mm-wide ribbons for small boxes vs. 25mm for gift bags).
- Content Customization: Personalize thank-you cards or booklets with tailored messages, illustrations, or QR codes (proofread text and verify print resolution ≥300dpi).
