Be sure to consider the contents that the boxes will be carrying. Consider only what your products will be carrying when you order boxes. Do you have a line of personalized business cards? Why not have a line of business cards with your business name printed on them, and be ready to ship them out at the drop of a hat. Printable plastic folders are great for this situation as well.
You could order special boxes for your storage boxes and business card holders that are filled with aluminum foil. This will also serve to prevent damage to these items, as long as you're not going to be using them as dishes because a good piece of aluminum foil should be able to repel light and heat while still allowing air to circulate.
As far as business cards go, you might want to order printed custom boxes that have a logo on them, a good way to do this is by ordering a plastic folder with your logo printed on it. Even though it's not necessary, I'd suggest getting them laser printed as well, just so you have the option of being able to move these items easily once they arrive at your location.
When you think about what you need custom boxes for, you may realize that you want to be able to store all of the small items that you need to keep track of. Consider ordering custom boxes that are filled with smaller drawers or shelves that can be slid out easily.
Keep in mind that with these boxes, you want to be able to put all of your small items in, so you'll need to order boxes that can be slid out easily and stored in them when you are not using them. Custom boxes that have hinges can be great for this.
While you're considering what you need for storage, consider the items that you are going to need to store. You'll need to have separate items in your boxes for delicate items, fragile items, paper items, and other items that you could need to keep in a box or case.
Think about how you are going to keep everything organized; you'll want to keep the boxes organized from top to bottom, bottom to top, top to bottom, or anywhere in between. You can also use dividers as well, so you have another place to put everything.
You want to decide how many items you are going to need, that's something you'll have to figure out. You'll need to decide if you want to do this on a regular basis, if you have several customers you can order a bulk order of boxes and these will be stored until the customer orders on their next shipment.
You'll also need to determine how much room you have to fill the boxes with everything you need. This will determine the dimensions of the boxes.
Consider how much the boxes will cost, these will affect your shipping costs, so you'll need to find out this before you order them. You'll need to find out whether you can get these for less at an online wholesale supplier, or whether you need to buy them from a retail location for the best price.
Just keep in mind what you want your custom boxes to do for you, and you'll be good to go. You'll need to shop around for what you need, and you'll want to do your research before you make any decisions, which will help you in the end.
