This creative macaron color-block book shipping box (airplane box) is specially designed for book subscription services and creative gift occasions. It comes in three sizes: Small (150×120×40mm) for postcards, bookmarks, and stationery sets; Medium (210×150×50mm) – the recommended size – fits A5/16mo books and creative merchandise; Large (240×170×60mm) accommodates hardcover books and thick book sets. Made from 250g single-sided coated paper or white card stock, with a whiteness of 88~90% ISO and stiffness of 2.5~3.0 mN·m, the box maintains a crisp shape for safe shipping. Four-color offset printing combined with matte lamination provides a premium frosted finish that is water-resistant and scratch-resistant. Optional finishing techniques include partial UV, gold/silver hot foil stamping, and embossing/debossing, giving logos and star patterns a layered, tactile feel. The airplane box features built-in cushioning, eliminating the need for extra padding and making it ideal for courier transport. It is an eco-friendly custom packaging solution that enhances brand perception.
