Length Width Height Order and How to Read Dimensions
A dimension such as 12 × 8 × 4 inches looks simple until a supplier builds the opening on the wrong side, a shipping platform reads a different axis, or a product will not lie flat inside the finished carton. In most rectangular packaging specifications, the length width height order is written as L × […]
Playing Card Dimensions: Sizes, Deck Thickness & Box Guide
A standard poker-size playing card is commonly 2.5 × 3.5 inches (63.5 × 88.9 mm), while a bridge-size card is narrower at about 2.25 × 3.5 inches (57.15 × 88.9 mm).

How Much Is a Quarter of Weed and What Packaging Fits 7g
Ask how much is a quarter of weed, and the short answer is 7 grams. The packaging answer is less simple.

Dense buds, loose flower, trim level, headspace and filling method can […]
Tissue Box Dimensions for Rectangular Cube and Cover Sizes
A tissue carton may look like one of the simplest packages on a store shelf, but a quarter-inch size change can stop it from fitting a bathroom cover, alter how the next tissue presents, reduce the number of cartons in a shipping case or move artwork into the dispensing opening.

What Is Chipboard Packaging? Materials, Uses and Differences
A cereal carton, a luxury gift box and the stiff back of a notepad can all contain material sold as chipboard, yet they may not look, bend or print the same way.

What Is a Perfume Atomizer? Parts, Packaging and Testing
If you are asking what is a perfume atomizer, think beyond the small cloud of scent released by one press.

PMS Colors in Packaging Printing: Codes, Matching & Approval
PMS colors give a designer, brand and printer a shared color reference, but the code is only the start of a reliable packaging result. A red chosen from a screen can print cleanly on white coated carton, look darker on brown kraft, lose strength on clear film without enough white ink, and shift again beneath […]
Polyethylene Foam Packaging Types, Density and Design Guide
Polyethylene foam can look like a simple block of plastic bubbles, yet its real packaging value comes from controlled deformation.
