How are internal dimensions calculated? Internal dimensions (length, width and height) are based on the product\u2019s external dimensions plus a margin: add 2\u20135 mm to both length and width (for ease of handling), and add a buffer to the height based on the product\u2019s thickness; for irregularly shaped products (such as wine bottles and cosmetics), measure the most protruding point.<\/p>\n
How do you ensure the product does not rattle? The solution to rattling is the inner insert: grooves and compartments secure the product in place; the rattle test (shaking the box without any sound) is the acceptance criterion.<\/p>\n
How do you determine if the product fits? The product must lie flat and stable: the centre of gravity should be at the centre of the box, with cushioning around the edges (inner insert, foam); \u2018fitting\u2019 does not mean cramming it in, but rather \u2018fitting without being squeezed\u2019.<\/p>\n
The most tricky aspect of the relationship between the box and the product is that \u2018if the box is too big, the item rattles; if it\u2019s too small, the item gets stuck\u2019: a difference of just a few millimetres in the internal dimensions can completely ruin the unboxing experience. This article clearly explains the methodology for calculating the internal dimensions of packaging boxes.<\/p>\n
How do you verify this? By creating a prototype box and testing the actual fit: a three-step process of placing the item inside, removing it, and giving it a shake; any changes to the specifications (such as a change of product) must be re-validated from scratch. For small-batch production, produce a prototype before placing an order.<\/p>\n
Determining the internal dimensions of a packaging box is a precision task where \u2018a difference of a few millimetres makes a world of difference\u2019: fitting the product inside is the bare minimum; being able to remove it easily is a mark of professionalism; and ensuring it doesn\u2019t rattle is a sign of quality \u2014 achieving all three makes the unboxing experience a real bonus.<\/p>\n
How do we determine \u2018easy to remove\u2019? Allowance for removal: enough space for a finger (leave a gap at the edge), the inner tray must be liftable (with a handle hole and finger grip); deep boxes (with high inner trays) require sufficient space for retrieval.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
