Printed shipping and transit boxes
We combine corrugated board and offset printing to produce shipping boxes that protect your product on the road and showcase your brand on delivery.
Protection, cost and brand experience
A good shipping box does three jobs at once: it protects the product in transport and stacking, lowers logistics costs by reducing empty space and showcases your brand on delivery.

About shipping boxes
Shipping boxes are mostly made of corrugated board. The fluted structure provides high crush and stacking strength at low weight and protects the product against impacts in transit. At Barem, the outer face is 170–450 g/m² offset printed board laminated onto E, B or double-wall corrugated board.
Yes. By laminating the offset printed sheet onto corrugated board, we achieve 6-colour + coating, photo-quality brand printing on the outside of the box. The box promotes your brand the moment it arrives.
The FEFCO code is the international numbering system of the European Federation of Corrugated Board Manufacturers that defines box styles. FEFCO 0201 is the standard four-flap carton; FEFCO 0427 is the folding mailer box with a lid that is common in e-commerce and can close without tape; FEFCO 0215 is a quick-assembly box with a lock bottom. Share your product and shipping method, and we will choose the right style together.
For light and medium-weight e-commerce products, E flute gives the flattest print surface and a slim box; for heavier products or where impact risk in transit is high, we recommend B flute or E+B double wall. B+B double wall is used for fragile and heavy products.
We define it together based on product size and weight, packing method, stacking height and shipping conditions. Correct sizing both protects the product and lowers logistics costs by reducing empty space.
Yes. Our boxes are paper-based; we produce the paper for corrugated board in Konya / Ereğli from 100% recycled raw material. We are FSC® certified (FSC-C141581) and use FSC-certified board on request.
Yes. The product called kargo or sevkiyat kutusu in Turkish is known as a custom shipping box or mailer box in English, Versandkarton in German and boîte d’expédition in French. The structure in which an offset printed sheet is laminated onto corrugated board is known in English as a litho-laminated box.
Samples and first production are scheduled according to structural design, die and print approval. For repeat orders with an approved design and existing die, production time can be as short as 24 hours; transit time is added according to the delivery location.
