On the other hand, custom cardboard boxes can show off your brand's colours, styles, logos, and even voice. You can easily show that you want to be bold and colourful or simple and expensive with your packing. 2. Unboxing experiences keep customers coming back In this day and age of social media, a fun opening experience can help with marketing. A well-designed unique box can make people excited and happy, which can make them want to share their experience online. This user-generated content promotes the company for free and helps people remember it. 

3. Being consistent at all touchpoints helps build trust. Your brand is made up of everything that touches a customer. It makes your brand look more consistent when your cardboard box fits your website, ads, and store layout. Being consistent shows that you are a professional, which helps people trust and believe in you. 4. Sustainable packaging that is Ecofriendly:

This is friendly to the natural environment and makes your brand to be considered as environmentally friendly and innovative.

This idea of value can help you charge more and make your brand seem high-end or expensive, even if you're selling everyday items. 2. They're Great for Telling Stories Packaging is a great place to tell stories about your business. Let people know what your brand stands for or even tell them a short story about the product. A short story on the box can get people more interested and turn a simple delivery into a marketing experience. 3. Cheap and useful marketing tool Custom boxes protect and advertise at the same time. Your package goes with your product, so it naturally reaches every customer, unlike paid ads. It's an investment that keeps paying off even after the box has been sent. Final Thoughts
