Designers can freely display their creativity, unconstrained! Maybe they should do. But so often their ideas will kill the packaging box manufacturers. What is the reason? If you tour some packaging factories and listen to them, you should take some hint. Designers usually care little about the processing method and craftsmanship of boxes, or rather, they just consider more how to be more creative and look good when designing. But some ideas are very hard to achieve in the later stage of mass production. Actually, most factories would flatly decline odd-shaped gift boxes order.
Why Few Packaging Box Manufacturer Can Make Odd Shaped Boxes?
Although any box type of gift boxes can be mass produced, the prices vary a lot. Take the two gift boxes for example: Lid & base Boxes and Clamshell Boxes of similar size. With the same materials used, their prices would be much different, which is a fact recognized by all packaging box manufacturers. because they differ a lot in the difficulty of the workmanship and material consumables. Therefore, the price difference between a Lid & base gift box (the simplest) and a odd-shaped cardboard box (the most difficult) would be huge, even though with similar sizes and materials.
