Materials and GSM Specifications for Gadget Packaging
Electronics and accessories have specific structural requirements. Products are often high-value, fragile, and sensitive to electrostatic discharge. Packaging must protect during transport, present attractively in retail, and survive the supply chain intact. Teal Packaging works with experienced manufacturing partners to offer the following substrate options.
- Rigid chipboard 1.5-2.5mm thickness: The premium standard for consumer electronics accessories packaging. Chipboard is wrapped in printed paper and creates a solid, substantial box with excellent shelf presence. Ideal for headphones, smartwatch straps, premium phone cases, and similar accessories.
- SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) 300-400 gsm: A clay-coated white board for high-quality folding cartons. Cost-efficient for mid-range accessories packaging while still delivering vivid full-color printing. Suitable for accessories blister packs and standard retail cartons.
- E-flute corrugated board 300-450 gsm: For accessories that require additional cushioning in postal shipping. Single-wall E-flute provides significant impact protection without excessive weight. Suitable as an outer shipping box for high-value tech accessories.
- Coated duplex 300-350 gsm: A cost-efficient white-top board suitable for standard retail carton formats where budget is a consideration without sacrificing print quality on the exterior face.
All substrates are selected to meet the structural requirements of custom gadgets accessories packaging during supply chain handling, retail display, and postal delivery.
