Boxes that balance: packaging with feet
Have you thought about eliminating the frustration of wobbly packaging? Unsteady boxes struggle to stay upright on the shop shelves or during transportation, tending to rock and tip. Imagine there was a simple, economical solution to ensure greater stability. That’s exactly where packaging feet step in…
Balancing boxes
Small and narrow boxes are notorious for instability, especially with a lightweight product inside. Their limited base reduces balance and makes them prone to wobbling or falling over completely. This can affect shelf presentation and make your product seem unprofessional, deterring potential customers.
To address this challenge, you can add feet to your designs, ensuring they stand firm and secure. The feet consist of small outcrops of material at the bottom of the box, which serve as stabilisers. These effectively prevent it from rocking back and forth – allowing your product to stand tall.
Numerous benefits
This minor adjustment can make a major difference to the perception of your product. Surprisingly, despite its practicality and affordability, many companies have yet to adopt this uncomplicated method of improving steadiness. The benefits include:
- Creating stable packaging that stands firm without rocking or tipping.
- Enhanced shelf appeal, making your product look professional and polished.
- Increased stacking and transportation efficiency, saving time and cost.
- Easy application to your existing designs.
- No extra cost to the production process.
So, what does this simple seamless process look like?
The steps to stability
Adding structural features to your packaging is a straightforward process. Existing designs can be easily adapted by adding small outcrop feet at the base of the box. During production a minimal amount of extra material is left at the cutting stage, which creates the supports that extend outwards from the base. The box then rests on these supports, keeping it stable.
