What is phone packaging and where is it used?
Phone packaging is a paper-based retail and DTC system that protects the device, carries mandatory labels, and delivers a unified brand experience across variants and markets.
Details: We build retail-ready folding cartons, premium rigid boxes for launches and gifting, and corrugated mailers tuned for last-mile durability. Modular inserts secure the handset, leaflet, cable/SIM tool, and accessories while maintaining barcode readability and design consistency.
How do you choose the right packaging structure?
Match structure to channel, unit weight, and unboxing goals—folding for velocity, rigid for perceived value, mailers for parcel networks, or hybrid for dual-channel.
Comparison
| Structure | Best for | Protection | Unit cost | Lead time | Recyclability | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Folding carton | Retail velocity | Low–Medium | Low | Fast | High | Tuck/auto-lock; window optional |
| Rigid gift box | Premium unboxing | Medium–High | Medium–High | Medium | High (film-free) | Drawer/book-style/lid-and-base |
| Corrugated mailer | DTC/FBA/SIOC | High | Medium | Medium | High | E/B/C/BC flute; label panels |
| Hybrid (carton + mailer) | Dual-channel kits | High | Medium–High | Medium | High | Retail look + parcel survival |
How do inserts protect the device?
Engineered inserts lock the phone and accessories, control rattle/scuff, and absorb drop/compression energy with clearance targets and route-based testing.
Options & controls
- Paperboard tray (recyclable): fast tooling; for ≤250–350 g sets; add retention tabs & crush ribs
- Corrugated nest: higher energy absorption for DTC; E/B flute; corner bumpers optional
- Molded pulp: eco look, tight nesting; multi-cavity for cable/leaflet
- EVA/PE foam: precision fit for premium rigid boxes; velvet lamination for dark finishes
- Clearances: 0.5–1.5 mm on long edges; avoid load on buttons/ports
- Tests: edge/face/corner drops 0.6–0.9 m (ISTA-style); compression set by flute & stack height
What materials & sustainability options are available?
Mono-material paper systems—SBS/C1S folding board, wrapped greyboard for rigid boxes, and E/B/C/BC flutes for mailers—plus FSC stocks, plastic-free windows, and water-based inks/adhesives.
Matrix
| Option | Format | Recyclability | When to choose | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SBS/C1S 300–400 gsm | Folding cartons | High | Retail speed & clean print | Matte/soft-touch/aqueous |
| Wrapped greyboard 1.5–2.0 mm | Rigid boxes | High (film-free) | Launches & gifting | Supports foil/emboss |
| E/EB flute | DTC single unit | High | Couriers/marketplaces | Abrasion-resistant coat |
| BC flute | Multi-pack/stacking | High | Higher BCT targets | Moisture-rated adhesives |
| Cellulose window / die-cut | Retail reveal | High | Plastic-free visibility | Region-dependent claims |
| Molded pulp tray | Inserts | High | Eco look, tight nesting | Multi-cavity capable |
How do you ensure brand color and barcode readability?
Pantone-matched CMYK with ΔE ≤ 2.0, finish stacks that resist scuff, and barcode verification to ISO/IEC Grade B+—so sets look consistent and scan clean.
Controls
- Substrate profiles for SBS/C1S, wrapped greyboard, litho-lam corrugate
- Soft-touch/anti-scuff for dark palettes; gloss for high contrast
- Serial/QR/Datamatrix with correct X-dimension; quiet zones ≥ 2.5 mm
- Typography: body ≥ 6 pt; reverse ≥ 7 pt; model name/capacity ≥ 18–24 pt
- Dieline rules: bleed ≥ 3 mm; safety ≥ 3–5 mm; keep codes off folds/windows
What compliance & labeling do you support?
Fixed iconography grids for UN38.3, lithium-battery handling, WEEE/CE/FCC/RoHS, and dedicated FBA label panels—implemented exactly to your legal artwork.
Notes: Icons avoid creases/magnets; contrast verified; we implement client-supplied legal text/symbols (no legal advice).
How do you engineer outer corrugated mailers for DTC/3PL?
SIOC-capable mailers specified by flute, route risk, and moisture/abrasion controls—so parcels survive drops, stacks, and scanning.
Route matrix
| Scenario | Flute | Outer coat | Sealing | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Domestic courier | E / EB | Aqueous abrasion-resistant | Tear-strip + dust flaps | Single unit, light weight |
| Cross-border air | B | Aqueous + anti-scuff | Tear-strip | Higher drop energy |
| Sea + warehouse | BC | Moisture-rated adhesive | Tape + strap | Higher BCT & stack time |
| FBA inbound | E / B | Matte label panels | Tear-strip | Label compliance priority |
E-commerce & logistics — how do you tune for route risk?
- Drop: 0.6–0.9 m edge/face/corner sequences
- Compression: BCT/ECT by flute and stack height; pallet patterns included
- Label readability: matte fields, off-crease placement; barcode verification report
- Returns-friendly: easy-open tear strips; clean reseal surfaces

How do you manage QC and color consistency?
A gated flow with AQL sampling, ΔE color checks, and barcode verification. IQC for substrates/inks; IPQC for die-cut/glue/window/insert fit; FQC/OQC with reports shipped. Any substrate/finish change triggers re-proof and sign-off.
Why POZI — what makes us low-risk?
Electronics-ready print control, standardized dielines across handset tiers, and SIOC-capable mailers—delivered with FSC options and repeatable QC. Multi-language artwork support and OEM/ODM experience shorten launch cycles.
