Why Multi Depth Boxes Are a Game-Changer for Businesses
In today’s fast-moving eCommerce and retail landscape, packaging plays a more strategic role than ever. It’s not just about wrapping up products—it’s about efficiency, cost-effectiveness, storage, and the unboxing experience. One of the smartest packaging innovations to emerge in recent years is the multi depth cardboard shipping box.
At The Packaging World, we understand how valuable adaptable and practical packaging can be for businesses of all sizes. That’s why we offer a wide range of multi depth boxes designed to give you more flexibility and value per box.
What Are Multi Depth Boxes?
Multi depth boxes are a special kind of corrugated cardboard box that features multiple scored fold lines on the sides. These score lines allow you to easily cut and fold the box down to the exact height you need. Instead of stocking different box sizes for every item, you can stock just a few multi depth options and trim them to suit your shipping requirements.
Let’s say you have a 12” tall box. It might have score lines at 4”, 6”, 8”, and 10”. If your product is only 6” tall, you simply fold the box down to the 6” mark, trim the excess flaps, and seal it up. It’s that easy—and that efficient.
Why Businesses Love Multi Depth Boxes
Whether you’re shipping products across town or internationally, every inch of space—and every dollar spent on shipping—matters. Here’s why so many of our clients at The Packaging World rely on multi depth boxes:
1. Multi-Purpose Flexibility
Instead of purchasing several box sizes, you can buy one box that serves multiple needs. This is especially helpful for businesses that ship products in varying sizes, such as online retailers, subscription box services, and wholesalers.
2. Lower Shipping Costs
Courier services often charge based on dimensional weight (DIM weight), not just actual weight. By trimming your box to fit the product tightly, you avoid shipping air and minimize charges. Multi depth boxes help reduce wasted space, which means lighter packages and lower costs.
3. Efficient Inventory Management
Managing your packaging inventory becomes a lot easier when fewer sizes are needed. You can save on storage space and reduce packaging clutter in your warehouse or storeroom. Multi depth boxes simplify your operations and help you scale faster.
4. Eco-Friendly Packaging Option
At The Packaging World, we are proud to offer recyclable and sustainable packaging materials. Our multi depth boxes are made from eco-friendly corrugated cardboard, supporting your business’s green initiatives and reducing environmental impact.
5. Durability and Protection
Don’t let the “cut-to-size” design fool you—multi depth boxes are just as strong and durable as standard boxes. They offer reliable protection during transit, even for fragile or heavy items.
How to Use Multi Depth Boxes Effectively
Using a multi depth box is simple and requires minimal tools. Here’s how to do it:
-
Measure Your Product
Start by measuring the height of your item. -
Select the Closest Score Line
Choose the score line on the box that’s closest to your item’s height. -
Fold the Box
Carefully fold the box down along the chosen score line. -
Trim the Corners
Using a box cutter or utility knife, trim down the vertical corners to remove the excess flaps above your fold. -
Seal and Label
Tape the box shut, apply your shipping label, and you’re good to go.
It’s a quick, clean process that saves time and creates a more secure, compact package.
