Electronics Packaging Boxes

We’d say a gadget box is mostly about the insert, because the device and that little charger each need a spot or they rattle all the way home. Then it still has to look tidy on a tech shelf. Not easy.

Types of Electronics Packaging Boxes: Accessories

For mouse packaging boxes and keyboard packaging boxes we cut the insert to shape, so nothing slides. Earbuds are tiny. Handsfree and earbud boxes often get a window.

Bigger Devices

Power banks, drones, smart home kits? See product packaging boxes, including power bank boxes and USB cable boxes.

Tiny bits we usually hang in blister packs (cheap, and shoppers see them). Spendier devices? We’d go rigid boxes.

Which Electronics Box Fits Your Device?

Small accessories that hang or stack

Cables, earbuds and mice usually end up on a peg wall or a crowded shelf, so the box needs to be light with a clean front. USB data cable packaging boxes hold the coil with a tab or a small insert so it doesn’t spring loose, and handsfree packaging boxes do something similar for earbuds and their charging case. Mouse packaging boxes get a shaped insert. A wireless mouse rattling in a loose box sounds broken even when it isn’t, and that’s a return nobody wants.

Mid-size gear with a few parts

This is where inserts do most of the work. Keyboard packaging boxes grip the board by its frame so the keycaps don’t take the pressure. Power bank boxes fit the unit plus its cable and leaflet, while doorbell packaging boxes need room for the screws and the mounting plate, and that tiny screwdriver they all seem to come with. We’d ask for every single part before cutting a dieline. Somebody always forgets the bracket.

Bigger or fragile kits

Drone packaging boxes and motherboard packaging boxes are the ones where we’d move up to corrugated or a rigid shell, with the insert holding the airframe or the board by its edges only. Home alarm packaging boxes are a funny middle case. One carton, a hub, a keypad and a pile of sensors, and we like printing a little map under the lid so whoever’s installing it can tell the door sensor from the motion one.

Software and media

Custom software boxes are mostly about the print, since there’s barely anything heavy inside, maybe a USB key and a license card. Full color on the front, system specs on the back. Done.

Electronics Packaging Boxes FAQs

We can, and we just give every part its own slot.

Do you print barcodes and compliance logos?

If it’s in your artwork file, we print it.
