E-commerce boxes
E-commerce boxes from THIMM
What are e-commerce boxes?
E-commerce boxes are customised packaging solutions designed specifically for shipping products from online retail, mail order retail and e-commerce. Their main purpose is to ensure product protection during transportation.
The highlight of these boxes is their ability to adapt to different product sizes and shapes. They are also often made from corrugated cardboard. As it is possible to print on the entire (external and internal) surfaces of the boxes, they are an effective platform for brand messaging and improve the unpacking experience for customers. E-commerce boxes therefore play a key role in optimising the shipping process and increasing customer satisfaction of online retailing.

Why use boxes made from corrugated cardboard for e-commerce?
The focus on sustainability through the use of corrugated cardboard boxes helps minimise the ecological footprint of e-commerce. These boxes not only enable safe transportation of goods, but also an environmentally friendly disposal after use. Consumer awareness of environmental aspects is high and consumers value companies that contribute actively to a more sustainable future.
Corrugated cardboard is sustainable from the ground up as it is made from naturally renewable raw materials. It is also an ecologically valuable circular product: even after up to 20 recycling cycles, corrugated cardboard is still a recyclable material which underlines its role as a resource-saving packaging option for e-commerce.
Secure locks for e-commerce boxes
Reliable locks are of crucial importance in the e-commerce sector. THIMM offers various locking options that provide effective tamper-proof protection. The visible destruction of the locks during opening allows the customer to recognise immediately if the product has been compromised during transportation.
The THIMM product range has been supplemented by adhesive locks for e-commerce boxes: Self-adhesive strips close boxes without additional tape, which makes shipping and returns easier. Integrated perforations or tear-off threads make it easy for the recipient to open the box and makes unpacking an effortless experience.
Impressive unpacking experiences with e-commerce boxes
In online retailing boxes are the first physical touchpoint with your customers and are the representation of your business. This is your opportunity to use thoughtful design and high-quality printing to create an unforgettable unpacking experience. Customers are particularly receptive at this emotional moment, which contributes to targeted branding and long-term customer loyalty.
The versatility of e-commerce boxes means you can transmit both your products and your brand values. Focusing on impressive unpacking experiences can positively influence your customers’ expectations and sustainably reinforce your brand.
Internal printing further intensifies the unpacking experience: customised internal printing not only enhances brand presence, it also offers the opportunity to integrate additional information, instructions or personalised messages. This creative approach helps make unpacking both a functional act and an emotional experience for the customer.
Smart e-commerce boxes
Smart digital boxes create a variety of innovative e-commerce applications. Microchips, electronic codes and printed electronics open up endless possibilities. For example, smart e-commerce boxes facilitate a seamless track-and-trace of supply chains in real time and provide tamper-proof protection through unique codes.
Have you ever integrated digital storytelling into e-commerce boxes to create effective customer engagement? This creates a unique digital world around your brand – from product simulations expanded virtually through to links to similar or complementary products. And when these are forwarded to digital communities, this promotes intensive experience sharing.
Effective product fixing in e-commerce boxes
E-commerce boxes with integrated product fixing ensure the safe and secure shipping of your products. Innovative fixing functions made from corrugated cardboard can be adapted flexibly and securely to your products. Their versatile designs mean they can be adapted to different product sizes and shapes, leading to an efficient use of materials and an optimum volume utilisation in your e-commerce boxes which in turns helps your company save costs.
Climate-neutral e-commerce boxes
CO₂e emissions cannot be completely avoided in the production and delivery of cardboard boxes. However, investments in selected climate protection projects create an CO₂e offset.
