Custom Flat Corrugated Boxes

Flat Box Structures Optimized for Protection and Efficiency

Flat corrugated boxes are purpose-built for products with minimal thickness but high protection requirements. We offer a variety of structures that provide optimal security for shipping while enhancing ease of assembly and storage.

Popular Flat Box Styles Include:

• Tuck Flap Mailer (Front Lock Style)
  Commonly used for e-commerce and document shipping. Features a simple fold-over lid with tuck-in tabs for secure closure—ideal for brochures, tablets, small electronics, and framed prints.
• Five-Panel Wrap (FPW)
  Designed to wrap tightly around thin products like books, apparel, puzzles, and photo frames. Offers excellent corner and surface protection with reduced internal void space.
• Book Fold Box
  Opens like a book and lays completely flat when open. Ideal for luxury folders, portfolios, and product sets where presentation matters.
• Rigid Envelope Box (Crush-Resistant)
  A hybrid between a mailer and envelope, this style is perfect for shipping flat documents, magazines, or certificates. Reinforced sides prevent bending during transit.
• Slide-In Sleeve with Inner Tray
  A two-piece structure with a sliding tray inside a kraft sleeve. Commonly used for gift cards, tech accessories, or premium printed goods requiring a refined unboxing experience.

Each structure can be further enhanced with custom die-cut inserts, internal compartments, peel-and-seal strips, or display windows—ensuring that your product stays safe, looks professional, and arrives intact.

Whether you’re shipping one piece or building a custom kit, our flat box structures provide both form-fitting protection and streamlined presentation.

Practical Applications Across Industries

Flat corrugated boxes are a versatile choice for brands that ship low-profile, lightweight, or fragile flat items. Their compact design helps reduce volumetric shipping costs and enhances storage efficiency—making them a smart solution across multiple sectors.

Common Application Scenarios:

• Electronics & Accessories
  Ideal for flat-packed tech items such as tablets, keyboards, phone cases, and cables. These boxes offer rigid protection while minimizing shipping weight and cost.
• Toys & Games
  Puzzle sets, board games, collectible cards, and instruction-based kits fit perfectly in flat packaging. The structure prevents shifting and keeps printed content undamaged.
• Printed Materials & Stationery
  Books, catalogues, brochures, calendars, and presentation folders benefit from flat mailers that preserve corners and keep contents crease-free during transit.
• E-Commerce Apparel & Merch
  Perfect for folded T-shirts, scarves, and soft goods sold online. Reduces packaging bulk and improves the unboxing experience with neat, brandable presentation.
• Gift Sets & Promotional Products
  Flat boxes are widely used for seasonal mailers, press kits, and promotional giveaways—designed to impress with internal printing, structured compartments, or premium finishes.
• Education & Publishing
  Schools, training centers, and publishers use flat corrugated packaging to ship workbooks, materials, certificates, or classroom kits securely and efficiently.

Because these boxes pack flat themselves, they also help your fulfillment team manage inventory with less storage footprint, while supporting smooth and cost-effective outbound logistics.

Key Advantages of Flat Corrugated Packaging

Our custom flat corrugated boxes are engineered to do more with less—less material, less storage, less freight cost, but with uncompromising performance. Here’s what sets them apart:

Compact, Efficient Design

Their low-profile structure significantly reduces dimensional weight, which translates to lower shipping fees—especially in e-commerce and postal networks where volume pricing applies. The boxes also arrive flat-packed, saving space in your warehouse.

Strong Protection for Flat Items

Despite their slim shape, these boxes provide excellent edge protection, bending resistance, and surface shielding, thanks to carefully selected flute types and board compositions.

Fully Customizable Inside and Out

Flat doesn’t mean plain. You can add inside printing, logo placement, peel-and-seal closures, and interactive inserts—making them ideal for branded unboxing experiences or premium retail presentation.

Quick Assembly and Easy Handling

Die-cut designs, self-locking tabs, and smart folding structures allow for fast assembly without the need for tape or tools, improving efficiency in fulfillment centers.

Eco-Friendly Material Choices

All boxes are made from recyclable kraft linerboard, and we offer FSC-certified paper, soy-based inks, and plastic-free adhesives to support your sustainability goals. Lightweight construction also reduces carbon footprint in transit.

Ideal for Automation and Modern Logistics

Their uniform shape and fold-flat delivery make them perfect for automated pick-and-pack systems, robotic stacking, and high-speed distribution environments.

From print houses to tech startups, brands rely on our flat boxes to ensure their products arrive safely—with minimal waste and maximum brand impact.
