What should be considered when planning box graphics?
Do not forget that anything printed where the fitment is placed will be covered or thrown away once opened. For this reason do not place important instructions or product information across the area where the fitment is found.

Additionally, when designing for retail, consider which parts of the box will be visible from different vantage points in the store. Occasionally it can be helpful to wrap a graphic or banner around three sides of the box to ensure that the customer reads your brand message.

Can Scholle perform any packaging certification for me?

How does flute profile affect my overall package?
Generally larger flute profiles deliver greater vertical compression strength and cushioning. Smaller profiles provide enhanced structural and graphics capabilities for retail packaging. Although smaller flute profiles allow for better graphics, the compromised strength greatly decreases the amount of packages that can be palletized safely. Discuss your palletizing plans with your corrugate supplier before
designing a package.

What is affected by altering the box’s dimensions or shape?
Box size and style will affect your entire packaging line, from case erection to palletizing. Check each step in your production process for compatibility (including the loader, carton former/bottom gluer, ink coder, top sealer, unitizer, palletizer, and any conveyors with carton stops) before finalizing your new package’s dimensions.

Differing box dimensions will also affect the flow rate and evacuation of your package. Once a box is decided upon, it is important to test that these factors still meet your expectations.

How should I calculate the internal dimensions of the box?
Because Scholle bags are so versatile, each bag has countless possibilities with regard to shape and size that must be considered on an individual basis.
