T Boxes

What Is A T Box?

Many of our customers ask us, “what is t box?” A T box is a packaging design that, when laid flat, forms a ‘T.’ The different flaps come together to form a solid structure that can be extremely durable. It is widely used for packaging heavy items such as power tools, hardware, small kitchen appliances, medical equipment, and more.

However, it can also be used to package small and fragile items to provide it good protection against transit bumps. 

Packaging Materials For T-Boxes

We understand the importance of keeping your products safe as they go through shipping and retail handling in a t box. Thus, we offer different packaging materials to help you create tailored packaging solutions. 

The following are the packaging materials to help you make sturdy yet visually appealing T boxes.

• Eco-Friendly Kraft Material
• Corrugated Cardboard Material
• Rigid Paperboard Material
• Cardstock Material

Eco-Friendly Kraft Material

This material is made of 100% recycled paper and is environmentally friendly. It is also biodegradable and compostable, making it a good option for packaging eco-friendly products.

The kraft material is available in different colors and can be printed with your company logo or design. It is also moisture-resistant and can help protect products against environmental moisture. 

Corrugated Cardboard Material

If you need a more durable T box, then corrugated cardboard is the best material to use. It is made of two or more layers of paperboard glued together in a wavy pattern. That creates a strong and stiff material that can protect your products from bumps and bruises during transit. 

Corrugated cardboard is available in different thicknesses, and you can select among different flute sizes. 

Rigid Paperboard Material

If you are looking for a more premium T box, then rigid paperboard is your material. It is made of thick paperboard that is glued together on a flat sheet. That makes it a sturdy material that can protect your products from damage during transit. 

Since this material is thick, it can be difficult to fold the packaging to form a solid box structure. 

Cardstock Material

This material is made of thick cardstock paper and is perfect for making lightweight T boxes. It can be cut and folded easily. Thus, it is a good option for packaging small and delicate items. 

Furthermore, this material has a smooth surface which helps make your custom prints pop. 

Printing Techniques For T Boxes

At Royal Custom Packaging, we offer a choice between various printing techniques. We understand the significance of using custom prints to market your products and enhance your branding. 

The following choices can help you make beautiful custom printed T boxes.

• Digital Printing Technique
• Offset Printing Technique

Digital Printing Technique

This printing method uses digital printing to create custom prints onto flexible substrates. It provides high-quality results and vivid colors. Furthermore, it is a fast printing technique that can be used to print small quantities. However, the downside is that it can be expensive to use for larger quantities. 

Offset Printing Technique

This printing technique uses a lithographic printing process to create custom prints onto paper or cardboard substrates. It is a more traditional printing technique that can be used for larger quantities. However, the downside is that it can be expensive and takes longer to print. That said, the print quality of offset printing is second to none. 

Color Models To Help You Make Attractive T Boxes

Color models help you navigate the color space and make choices that work well together. We offer the following color models to help you create beautiful T boxes.

• CMYK Model
• Pantone Model (PMS)

CMYK Model

The CMYK model is a subtractive color model that uses four inks: cyan, magenta, yellow, and black. This model helps provide vibrant results. However, the downside is that it can be expensive compared to PMS when creating less than four shades. 

Pantone Model (PMS)

The Pantone model is an additive color model that uses only one ink to create the T boxes. It creates more muted results than CMYK but is much less expensive when making single-colored T boxes. However, its color accuracy is far greater. Thus, it is ideal for companies that want to make T boxes part of their branding. 

Add-Ons And Finishing Coats For T Boxes

Add-ons and finishing coats help create a more finished look for your T boxes. They can also help protect your products from damage during transit. 

We offer a range of different add-ons and finishing coats. The following are some of our most requested options

Embossing/Debossing

This add-on creates a textured impression on the surface of your T box, which adds visual interest. It can be used to customize logos, brands, or other designs. However, it is important to note that this add-on is only suitable for paperboard boxes. 

Window Patching

If you are looking for a unique custom T box, window patching is the perfect option. It creates an opening in your T box, which can be used to create multiple openings or slits. That provides excellent product visibility.

Matte And Gloss Finishing Coats

The matte finishing coat is a textured finish which creates a dull and non-reflective surface. On the other hand, the gloss finishing coat provides a model that is shiny and reflective. These finishes make your custom prints pop.
