Side-Loading Design for Easier Packing
Unlike a standard top-loading carton, a side-loading shipping box allows products to slide into the package through a wider opening. This can make packing easier for objects with a large surface area but relatively little depth.
The 28 × 4 × 24 shipping box is particularly suited to flat merchandise where a deep conventional carton could create unnecessary empty space.
Shipping Boxes for Artwork, Frames & Flat Products
Businesses shipping artwork, picture frames, signs, display panels, and similar merchandise need packaging that matches the shape of the product. Flat shipping boxes provide a more appropriate profile while still offering the structural benefits of a shipping carton.
For delicate products such as glass frames or mirrors, suitable internal cushioning, corner protectors, inserts, or protective wrapping should be added according to the product's fragility.
In-Stock or Custom Side-Loading Boxes
Choose our in-stock side-loading shipping boxes when you need a ready-to-order carton for everyday fulfillment. Businesses requiring a different size or branded presentation can also order custom side-loading boxes designed around their products.
Custom options may include:
- Custom dimensions
- Logo and brand printing
- Custom artwork
- Different board specifications
- Inserts or protective components
- Custom order quantities
This gives businesses the flexibility to use stock cartons for immediate shipping requirements or move to custom printed shipping boxes for product-specific packaging and branding.
Side-loading shipping boxes are cartons designed so products can be inserted through a side opening rather than only through the top. They are particularly useful for wide, flat, and shallow products.
This size can be suitable for picture frames, artwork, printed panels, signs, mounted prints, decorative products, and other wide or flat merchandise. Actual fit should always be checked against the packed product dimensions.
The main advantage is easier insertion of large flat products. It can also provide a closer package fit for products that do not require a deep conventional shipping carton.
