Corrugated packaging for electronics
Businesses that ship electronics and hardware can request a corrugated box quote from Ontario Box Quotes. Your request is passed to a packaging supplier, who contacts you with a quote. This page lists the box types that usually fit and what to include.
What electronics businesses usually ship
Electronic components, devices and hardware, which are often small, valuable and easy to damage.
The right box depends on weight, fragility, stacking, print and storage. The suggestions below are a starting point, and a supplier will confirm the best match for your product.
Box types that fit electronics
Diecut inserts
An insert cut to the device keeps it still and cushioned inside the carton.
Custom-size boxes
A box sized to the product cuts empty space and the amount of filler you need.
Diecut mailer boxes
Self-locking mailers suit smaller devices shipped to customers.
Corrugated partitions
Dividers separate several items in one carton.
What to include in your quote request
Product size and fragility
The dimensions of the product and how easily it is damaged.
Special handling
Any handling needs, such as static sensitivity, so the supplier can say what is possible.
Print and branding
Whether the carton is seen by customers and needs your logo or artwork.
