Different types of packaging boxes that bandages can be retailed in.

Bandages have become an integral part of today’s society. Growing up, they have had a major role to play whenever a child got hurt in the playground or got a ‘boo-boo’. Bandages are of two types essentially. One is a crepe bandage that is made with cotton mixed with rayon or wool. It is a light support system that is wrapped around any sprained muscle or joined without going the extensive way of getting a cast. 

The other bandage is rather an item that every child is familiar with. These are tiny plastic stick-on that have the center glued with medication. The medication is standard and can be put on mild injuries for example a scraped knee, tiny paper cut and such. Crepe bandages can be put on for a few days and provides sufficient support and warmth to the injured area whereas a stick-on bandage needs to be taken off after a day or two.

Bandages can be bought in a whole box or as separates from the pharmacy or the grocery store.  These bandages are packed in specific boxes. Let us get familiar with the types of custom bandageboxes, bandages come in.

Display boxes:

Where bandages come in small boxes that encase a specific number of bandages, the small boxes themselves are put inside big display boxes. By big we do not mean three to four feet boxes but rather 1ft boxes. The tiny boxes are designed to be five to six inches maximum. They are put inside display boxes to increase the ease of access among customers and also to promote impulse buying. These display bandage boxes are customized to appear attractive to children and adults alike and are placed near the medicine shelves or the payment counters.

Hanging tab boxes:

Bandages can also be packaged inside hanging tab boxes. The tab is inserted on the top of the box, near the lid. These boxes can contain crepe bandage and stick-on bandage, both. Although, the size needs to be customized, depending on the type of bandage(s) you wish to retail. These boxes are great to be placed on a revolving rack near the cash counter or in the medicine aisle for ease of access.

Tuck end boxes:

While the above given examples are perfect to be put inside stores for separate retailing, but what about full boxes that are to be taken home? One style that is used a lot in the manufacturing of custom bandage boxes is tuck end. These boxes are made out of cardboard and can encase a significant amount of crepe and stick-on bandages. The filled-up box is wrapped in plastic and then put in stores.

Cube boxes:

Small cube boxes are specific to packaging crepe bandages. Crepe bandage, where it normally has a lot of height to cover a large area, is designed to be more compact to be packaged inside cube boxes. The width and height of the bandage are proportionate and can successfully fit inside a square box. These boxes however can only encase a single roll of crepe bandage.
