Corrugated · Packaging buyer’s guide
When a subscription assortment changes, the box and insert need a plan for variation. Begin with the largest, heaviest, and most fragile combinations rather than sizing only for an average month.
The short answer
Use an assortment matrix to decide which products share a box and insert. Test the limiting combinations rather than assuming one average configuration covers them all. Keep a versioned packing instruction for each approved arrangement.
What to review before approving production
Group assortments that can share a structure and identify those requiring a different support layout. Test representative packed combinations and keep a version record for each configuration. This guide covers pack-out planning; Pacer’s main subscription box page covers the broader product offer.
