Custom Software Boxes

What are Software Boxes and how Are They Relevant in the Digital Era?

In the modern age of IT and AI, new software programs and applications are launched every day, aimed to help mankind in different fields of life. For brands selling them, it is important to market them properly to boost sales and earn profits. These programs and applications are typically sold in soft form, or CD/DVDs. The recent decade has seen a significant increase in sales in soft form, but millions of buyers still prefer to buy in physical form.

This is where software packaging boxes come in. Mostly made of cardboard, these boxes are perfect to hold the disc(s), USBs, literature, brochures, or other relevant things. On the outside, they are used as branding and marketing tools to entice buyers. All these elements, when placed strategically, create perfect custom printed software boxes.

For boosting the appeal further, brands can use our unique customization options, like different themes, styles, shapes, sizes, and color combinations. With free design support, we ensure that all of these things, along with your brand’s name, logo, address, and contact information, are printed as per the industry standards.

Sophisticated and Functional Software Box Varieties

Software boxes, a subdivision of retail packaging come in different shapes and designs. They can be designed like a book box that opens and closes like a book, giving a unique and different look. Another distinctive way is to add a ribbon to the box to make it more unique and present it as a gift. By using it, brands can market software as a premium gift item.

Some brands also opt for a sleeve-tray box, allowing the user to pull out the tray and interact with the contents of the box.

The most common style for software packaging is tuck-top boxes. A typical tuck-top box is famous among software brands due to its double-sided walls, making it far more strong and durable than single-walled ones. Moreover, it doesn’t require any gluing and is super easy to assemble.

Some brands also go with custom software boxes with die cuts. It is a great way to show what’s inside the box and win the trust of buyers. Shoppers feel more comfortable buying things when they have an idea of the quality of the product and its feel.

Custom Software Boxes with Logo: The Ultimate Branding Boosters

While the sales of boxed software have reduced drastically, there are many brands out there that sell software applications or programs physically and digitally. To convert these boxes into powerful branding tools, firms have to focus on branding elements like name, logo, colors, tagline, and website to make people remember their brand name. This is also true for custom CD/DVD boxes.

Such designs also help in the domain of marketing as users share their feedback about programs and applications on various forums and groups. While doing this, they’ll tell your brand’s and software’s name.

Color Printing Options for Custom Software Boxes

The outlook of the box plays a vital role in making your brand’s software a success or a failure. Once you have the design ready, you have to select the coloring option. You can either go for PMS (Pantone Matching System) or CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, and Key). PMS allows brands to select a precise color scheme to produce the boxes matching with their brand’s marketing or branding strategies. CMYK, on the other hand, is best for a bright and vivid look.

Finishing Techniques for a Sublime Look

The outer print of the box can be further enhanced by using various coatings and finishing techniques. They work like an icing on the cake while adding grace and elegance to the finish of the box. The common techniques we use on custom software boxes include stamping, gloss, and matte finish. Gloss adds a shiny look, while matte makes the surface smooth. Some brands also go for embossing or debossing certain elements of the design to make them stand out. Embossing is done to raise certain parts of the box, making them more prominent. Debossing, on the other hand, creates a sunken look and differentiates them on the shelf.

Special Features to Provide a Unique Unboxing Experience

Apart from creating the right design and selecting the best colors and premium finishing options, you have to focus on the internal side of the box as well. Custom software boxes without partitions, sleeves and inserts, and die-cuts fail to show your brand’s professionalism. These small features don’t cost too much but elevate the shopper’s experience, helping a brand in customer retention.

Custom Software Boxes for Protecting What’s Inside

Software boxes consist of a CD/DVD or a USB drive containing the program or application. Along with such things, they also contain user manuals, licenses, documents, and other such things. Firms selling software must ensure that it reaches the buyers in the best shape.

For this purpose, they have to focus on selecting the right material inside. Cardboard stock, commonly used to make custom software boxes, is good enough for retail display, but what about shipping? During transit, software needs additional protection, which is best provided by shipping boxes made from corrugated stock.

While talking about material, it is important to mention that the boxes you buy must be eco-friendly. Green packaging is now an industry standard and CPP Boxes ensures that we maintain sustainability and a minimum carbon footprint in all our business dealings.
