Step 1: Choose Your Box Type

Select from four custom box styles designed for different applications:

  • Regular Slotted Container (RSC). The standard shipping box has top and bottom flaps that meet in the middle. It's perfect for general shipping, storage, and product packaging.
  • Five Panel Folder. A wrap-around folder made from one piece of cardboard, ideal for flat items like books, artwork, or flat-pack furniture. The box hinges around your product and secures with tape.
  • Corner Cut Folder. Specialised design for documents and prints, protecting without excess inside material.
  • Self-Locking Mailer Box. These boxes lock closed automatically, with no tape required. Consider it for e-commerce shipping and valuable documents.

Step 2: Enter Your Box Dimensions

Accurate dimensions ensure your products fit perfectly and help prevent damage from movement within the box during transit.

Input the length, width, and height of your box in millimetres. Important measuring guidelines:

  • Use internal dimensions: the measurements should reflect the space inside the box.
  • Measurements should be exact.
  • Allow space for protection: add a minimum of 10mm if you need room for bubble wrap or padding.

We also recommend reading our comprehensive guide on How to Measure a Cardboard Box for Custom Sizes for precise measurements.

Step 3: Select Board Strength

Choose the cardboard thickness that matches your needs:

  • 1CS - 4mm (Single Wall): Lightweight but strong, suitable for general products, e-commerce shipping, and items up to medium weight.
  • 1BC - 7mm (Double Wall): Heavy-duty protection for fragile items, heavier products, long-distance shipping, and warehouse storage.

Choosing the right board strength is crucial for ensuring your products arrive safely. If you're not sure what strength you need, contact our team at JetBox Melbourne. We can provide recommendations based on your product weight and shipping requirements.

Step 4: Enter Box Quantity

Specify how many boxes you need. Higher quantities typically reduce the per-unit cost, making bulk orders more economical. Note that the calculator applies tiered pricing, offering discounts for ordering 10, 25, 50, and 250 boxes.
