About these guides
10 answersWho writes these guides?
Our packaging team writes them. Each one starts from a question a customer asked us on the phone or by email.
Which guide should I read first?
Read how to measure a box first. Once you have your inside size, the single versus double wall guide is the next step.
Are the sizes in the guides fixed?
No. They are common starting points only. We make every box to the inside length, width and height you give us.
Do the guides cover printing?
Not in depth. Print options, from one color to full color CMYK, are explained on each box page and in Design Your Box.
Can I ask a question about a guide?
Yes. Call (503) 461-4788, email info@ordercardboardboxes.com or message us on WhatsApp. We are here Monday to Friday, 9 am to 6 pm Eastern.
Do the guides list prices?
No. Your exact figure comes in the quote we email within one business day. It depends on size, board, print and quantity.
Will you add more guides?
Yes. When customers keep asking about the same topic, we turn the answer into a new guide.
Do the guides use inches or millimeters?
Inches come first, since most US buyers measure that way. We add millimeters in brackets where they help, and we accept either for your order.
Can I print a guide for my team?
Yes. Each guide prints cleanly from your browser, so you can hand a copy to whoever packs your orders.
Do I need to read a guide before I order?
No. Send us your product size and quantity, and our designers will help with the layout and board choice.
