FAQ
Q: What’s the difference between B, C, and E flute — which should I choose? A: B-flute (3mm, ~47 flutes/ft) offers the best crush resistance for everyday e-commerce shipping — our most popular choice. C-flute (4mm, ~39 flutes/ft) provides superior cushioning for heavier or more fragile items. E-flute (1.5mm, ~90 flutes/ft) has the finest surface for premium printing — ideal for cosmetic and luxury subscription boxes where graphics matter most. BC double-wall (7mm) combines B and C for maximum protection of heavy or high-value items.
Q: How does the self-locking crash-lock bottom work? A: The box ships flat. When you pop it open, pre-scored die-cut flaps automatically interlock into a rigid bottom — no tape, no glue, no assembly. It holds up to 5kg of product and takes under 2 seconds. For fulfillment centers, this typically reduces packing station time by 40–60% versus taped RSC boxes.
Q: Can you print my brand logo inside the box for a branded unboxing experience? A: Yes. Our KBA flexo press can print inside, outside, or both sides. Inside printing creates a delightful branded surprise when the customer opens the box — a high-impact marketing touch at minimal additional cost. We recommend a simple logo + tagline inside for maximum effect.
Q: Is this packaging Amazon FBA compliant? A: Yes. We manufacture to Amazon FBA packaging requirements including: 6-sided intact construction, no excessive void fill needed (custom-fit dimensions), and ISTA 1A drop-test compliance. We can also integrate FBA-ready barcode placement into the print design and include Frustration-Free Packaging (FFP) certification consultation.
Q: What’s the lead time for a new custom mailer design? A: Standard timeline: digital proof (1–2 days) → physical sample with actual flute, print, and die-cut (5–7 days) → mass production (7–12 days). Rush service: 5 days total. New custom die fabrication adds approximately 3 working days to the initial order.
