Your packaging is an extension of your products and services, and it has a bigger job than you may realize. It needs to safely carry products home from wherever they originate, convey your brand message, remind your customers of a pleasurable experience, and inspire repeat business.
For many business owners, choosing and designing the ideal packaging is a big responsibility best left to the experts. When the order calls for custom folding boxes, Impak Retail is who they call.
How your products appear on your actual shelves (or virtual ones) is the first chance to get your customer’s attention. Whether it’s the folding cartons that house your products, the rigid boxes you use in display and promotions, or the sturdy corrugated mailer boxes that transport your products to their final destination—your packaging needs may require more folding box options than you anticipated.
Working with Impak opens up a new world of customizable design features, materials, shapes, sizes, and sustainability options for your folding boxes.
Impak believes in providing customers with folding cartons that excel in both form and function. How the box is folded not only creates a distinctive look, but also relates directly to weight. For example:
• Straight Tuck Ends (suitable for light to medium-weight products)
• Reverse Tuck Ends (ideal for light to medium-weight products)
• Seal Ends (ideal for medium to heavy-weight products)
• One-piece tucks (ideal for heavy products)
Collapsible boxes are foldable by nature as they easily spring into shape ready to house products. Customize your retail boxes with decorative and functional features such as:
• Custom inserts to hold your product securely in place.
• Window cut-outs to entice customers with a peek inside the package.
• Ribbon pulls. Often used with sliding drawer boxes as a way to open the box.
• Magnetic closures for a satisfying unboxing effect.
Custom folding boxes for retailers come in so many forms, but finishes are mostly universal. Among our many options, we like to incorporate features such as:
• Foil stamping
• Metallic inks
• Embossing
• Ribbons and bows
• Soft-touch finishes
• Gloss and matte lamination
• Satin coatings
• and whatever else we can dream up together!

Impak’s designers are excited to take your most ambitious creative ideas from the dream stage to the reality of beautiful packaging that customers can touch and admire.
Custom sleeve boxes add a needed layer of protection around your products, reinforce your brand
values, and improve your curb appeal.

An intentional and aesthetic packaging sleeve with your company’s branding can become instantly recognizable. No matter your logo, desired shape or size, and preferred materials, Impak’s options for customization are limitless.
Rigid boxes don’t have to have rigid design restrictions. Impak offers a range of luxurious finishes like matte or gloss coating, foil stamping, spot gloss UV, and other customizations that catch the eye and motivate shoppers to add to their cart.
Custom packaging sleeves made out of corrugated board are a safe and stylish bet for heavier products, perishable goods, or items expected to go through a long shipment process. Wine bottles, delicate cosmetics, and other fragile products can all benefit from this kind of protection.
Impak’s folding cartons made of thin, flexible linen stock or kraft paper are an affordable option for brands looking for a custom packaging solution for lightweight products like candies or cookies.
Custom sleeve boxes are a stylish and simple way to give your packaging a luxurious look. Many industries leverage packaging sleeves for their protective structure, ease of shipping, and endless customization options.
Jewelers, for example, may use rigid stock sleeve boxes with custom foam inserts to protect and promote delicate treasures like earrings and rings.

We can all agree receiving damaged product is a huge disappointment.

We want to ensure your customer doesn’t find fault within the brand. Don’t jeopardize customer satisfaction by cutting corners in development.
Package inserts are a critical component for safely transporting fragile products through various shipping channels. The design consultants at Impak Retail help brands design custom package inserts and inlays to accommodate for size, weight, and fragility when shipping individual or multiple items within a box.
Many times a package that needs an insert is one that requires delivering multiple items, with different end uses, at a single moment. Our approach is to fully understand the transaction that you are seeking to establish with your customer. For example, an introductory kit of healthcare supplements would benefit from a design which incorporates a continued storage solution for those supplements, easily removable and transferable to a pantry, in addition to a packet for welcome materials and recipes or even a recessed tray for a branded water bottle. The approach to compartmentalized construction is necessary because each piece will live in a different space within your client’s home. The outer box, while a critical delivery method, will likely be repurposed.
In contrast, an insert strategy for a jewelry set including earrings and a necklace requires a different approach. The box itself has a high probability of staying within your client’s home. It may end up in a bureau or accessories cabinet drawer. The exterior finishing, texture and hand feel should stand apart. The way the insert is designed, with ribbon pull tabs for easy handling and positioning, along with padding and protective textiles to prevent any scratches or even reduce potential for tarnish, is a way to extend added value to your product.
Custom packaging inserts offer a chance to stand out from competitors, reinforce your brand’s elite quality standards, and enhance customer satisfaction.
There are several options to explore when designing a custom insert. One of the most influential factors in determining the appropriate material is the product itself. Weight, size and even the order volume can help our consultants narrow down the best paths for development.
Foam inserts are an incredibly malleable insert solution. They can satisfy the most snug of fitting requirements while simultaneously avoiding any scratching or scuffing of products. Often foam inserts can be finished or covered with textile materials to enhance their aesthetic and blend seamlessly to other elements of the package.
Corrugated cardboard and paperboard inserts are an economical way to separate items which are more durable. These inlays can be customized with full-color litho-labels or feature reverse out printing, allowing the white kraft finish to act as a second color. Specific fluting will vary based on product weight and overall box size.
Depending on order volume, molded paperboard is another way to satisfy the need for a snug-fitting insert. Without incorporating any additional lining materials, a molded paperboard insert would be curbside recyclable and a disposal-friendly packaging component for customers.
The marketplace is more competitive than ever, which means that business owners must provide excellent customer experiences to attract and keep clients. Raising the standards of your shipping game and unboxing experience is an excellent way to accomplish both goals.
