E-commerce packaging is not one specific type of carton, but an entire family of solutions tailored for mail-order sales.
This includes slotted cartons (FEFCO 201), die-cut boxes (FEFCO 427), and crash-lock cartons (FEFCO 700–714), as well as packaging with tear perforations (FEFCO 885–887). The choice of the appropriate type depends on the product, shipment volume, and logistical requirements.

The key element of efficient packaging is the construction of the packaging itself. The adhesive strip on the flap allows the package to be closed in seconds without the use of adhesive tape. The tear-off perforation makes it easy to open the package, and an additional perforation line allows the box to be re-closed in case of product return. Thus, one carton can handle the entire cycle: shipping, opening, and returning the product.
InPost parcel lockers, whose dimensions are strictly related to the sizes of lockers used by InPost and other operators, are playing an increasingly important role.

Application e-commerce packaging

E-commerce shipping packaging is used wherever speed of packing, low delivery cost, and the first impression the packaging makes on the recipient are important. Both small online stores and large platforms handling thousands of orders daily utilize various formats and functionalities.

Matching the carton size to the product's dimensions and the courier's requirements is one of the most effective ways to reduce logistics costs. The less empty space inside the box, the lower the shipping price and the lower the risk of damage to the goods during transit.

Before you ask

We've gathered answers to the questions that most often come up at the beginning of our collaboration. If something is missing here, let's talk.

What are e-commerce packages, and how do they differ from regular cardboard boxes?

E-commerce packaging is a category of cardboard boxes designed specifically for shipping. They are distinguished by features not found in standard cartons: a self-adhesive strip for quick sealing, a tear-off perforation for easy opening, and the possibility of reuse for returns. They are available in the form of flap cartons, custom-shaped boxes, auto-bottom cartons, and packaging with tear-off perforations.

What FEFCO types are most commonly used in e-commerce?

The most popular are FEFCO 201 (slotted box - the solid base of every shipment), FEFCO 427 (die-cut box - tailored for irregular products), FEFCO 700-714 (self-erecting boxes - for quick packing), and FEFCO 885-887 (packages with tear perforations and adhesive strips). The choice depends on the product's specifics and the order size.

Do InPost parcel lockers fit e-commerce packaging

Yes - we design shipping boxes with dimensions customized for InPost parcel lockers and other operators. Correctly matching the dimensions directly translates to lower shipping costs, as the price of parcel locker shipping depends on the package size.

Can I order shipping packaging with a logo and print?

Yes. We offer flexographic printing for up to 4 colors on corrugated cardboard. The print can include logos, brand colors, logistic markings, and product information. Personalized shipping boxes with a logo are a cost-effective way to build brand recognition with every order.

Can one e-commerce box be used for a product return?

Yes - the extra perforation line allows the box to be reclosed and the product returned without having to find a new carton. This is an eco-friendly solution that is appreciated by both stores and end customers.

What type of cardboard are shipping packaging made from?

We work with 3- and 5-layer corrugated cardboard in E, B, C, EB, BC fluting, and others. The choice of cardboard type depends on the weight and sensitivity of the product, shipping requirements, and whether the packaging is also intended to serve as a display. We consult on every order to ensure optimal material selection.
