There are few quicker methods of getting your product shipped than crash lock boxes. Otherwise known as self-locking cardboard boxes, these are renowned for the speed with which they can be assembled, packed and dispatched.

Corrugated self-locking cardboard boxes also have a small footprint through being flat packed, minimal assembly required, and can often require zero secondary packaging such as tape.

If you or your business are looking to cut down on the time spent assembling and packaging your e-commerce products, we can manufacture corrugated crash lock boxes to speed up your business.

We offer a range of order volumes for crash lock boxes and can also enhance the packaging with printed branding for those looking to present a more premium product.

Packaging and distributing fragile items is one of the more challenging elements of supplying products. Ensuring everything arrives on time and in one piece is the result of many factors, chief of which is the box itself.

Keeping fragile items safe begins with finding the right box. The ideal packaging will minimise space around the product(s) while leaving just enough room for additional protection such as bubble wrap. 

The next concern is the thickness of the cardboard used. Thicker boxes and doubled-walled cardboard will help reduce the risk of damage to the product or tearing to the packaging. The thinner the board used, the more internal packaging will be required to sufficiently protect the products inside.

Lastly, there is the potential for packaging multiple items within a single box. We offer everything from cardboard dividers to bespoke die-cut cardboard inserts and product-specific moulds for particularly fragile elements, such as glass bottles .

If you are worried about providing sturdy enough packaging to best protect your products, we would love to talk to you. Together we can work with you to create the exact packaging for your needs and help keep breakages to a minimum.

Pallet displays can be the perfect way to transform a utility such as a pallet into a fantastic and eye-catching marketing tool. They are primarily used for showcasing large quantities or heavy merchandise on the shop floor. Pallet displays are a fantastic way of showing your brand off prominently and act as a great method of displaying, advertising and selling your products to consumers.

Pallets are cost effective displays which, due to their size, can really stand out to customers. Branded ballets will also be a bigger draw than plain pallets for retailers looking to build an engaging and attractive shopping experience.

At n.smith, we design and create eye-catching displays from full pallet wraps to pallet skirts, in short or long runs, for small one off promotions to large run national campaigns.

Never has it been more important for consumer facing products to be sustainable and environmentally friendly. Some popular Instagram accounts such as Pointless Packaging base their entire existence on highlighting excessive single use plastic wrapping and styrofoam packaging. Consumers are increasingly willing to change their spending habits to avoid egregious packaging and support plastic-free shopping.

Like the customers, we also believe in the sustainability of cardboard versus plastic and other materials for packing, packaging and displays.

At n.smith we adopt the philosophies of Reduction and Recycling in order to help ensure the sustainability of your business. Corrugated cardboard is the number one most recycling packaging, accounting for 84% of all recycling in the UK.

Recycling a tonne of cardboard helps save:

• 209 litres of oil
• 4000kW of electricity
• 9 cubic yards of landfill space
• 17 trees
• 31,822 litres of water

In terms of store shelves, there’s a tangible benefit to your products appearing in cardboard Shelf Ready Packaging (SRP) and Retail Ready Packaging (RRP). Customers look for and appreciate cardboard packaging, both by helping lend a premium veneer to a product range (our team of creatives are here to help you out here) and by virtue of it simply not being plastic.

Tailored cardboard product packaging can also help to reduce the quantity (and costs) of cardboard required. By using cardboards which are fully recyclable, you are already reducing the impact of your business on the environment.

Get in touch and we can work with your business towards a more sustainable future while boosting brand appeal.
