Car parts are heavy, greasy, oddly shaped, and half of them have a sharp edge somewhere. That combination breaks more cartons than most people realize. We print a lot of automotive packaging at ZEE Packaging and the conversation almost always starts with weight before it gets to branding.
The first question we ask is what does the part weigh and does it have oil on it. A brake pad set and a set of wiper blades need completely different automotive box construction even if the outer dimensions look similar.
Rough guide we use:
A 24pt carton holds a set of spark plugs no problem. Put a caliper in it and the bottom goes through on the first drop.
Every automotive box we make is custom, but these come up again and again:
Send us the part measurements with any protruding brackets included, or ship a sample here and we will build the dieline around it.
Most damage claims we see come from movement inside the box, not from the box failing.
An automotive box with a proper insert survives far more handling than a bigger box full of loose fill.
Retail automotive packaging lives on a crowded shelf next to twenty competitors, so the front panel needs to work hard.
Do not forget the part number. We tell clients to put it on at least three panels, big and clear, because warehouses pick from whatever face is showing.
Our prepress team checks all of it against the dieline before press so nothing gets trimmed.
Will corrugated handle oil and grease?
Plain board will absorb it. We use a grease resistant liner or a poly bag inside the automotive box for anything wet.
What does an automotive packaging boxes cost?
Its approximately $0.45 to $2.20 per unit for folding cartons, $1.10 to $5.00 for corrugated mailers and shippers, and $2.50 to $8.00 for rigid or two piece boxes at moderate quantities. Shipping included in our price. This is estimate only so ask our team for a exact figure.
Can you do the retail box and the shipper together?
Yes, plenty of clients order both in one job so the print and color match across the set.
Do you supply inserts too?
We do. Die cut corrugated inserts are made in the same run as the box so the fit is exact.
What about heavy parts like a starter motor?
Double wall corrugated with full overlap flaps. We also add corner protection if the casting has sharp edges.
Can we get hang tabs for peg display?
Yes, either a die cut euro hole or an applied hang tab depending on the weight it needs to carry.
Do you print part number variable data?
We print fixed art. For variable part numbers most clients run a label applied in their own warehouse.
Small run for a new SKU?
That is what our 100 unit minimum is for. Test low moq, see how it performs in the field, then scale.
