🔬 Construction and Materials - why is your equipment safe?

A 17-inch laptop is often a heavy workstation, which is why the FixBox FBL17 was designed using industrial-grade materials to withstand heavier loads.

1. External Armour - EB Flute Cardboard (Double Wall)

The outer box is made of double wall cardboard with a grammage of up to 588 g/m². The use of EB Flute is the key to durability:

• Hybrid structure: Combines the advantages of E-flute (dense, aesthetic surface) and B-flute (thick, cushioning layer).
• Puncture resistance: Thick walls protect the laptop from sharp edges of other packages in the courier sorting centre.
• Rigidity: The box does not crush under the weight of other shipments (so-called stacking resistance).

2. Stabilising Insert - B Flute Cardboard

The inner insert is a solid base with a grammage of 500 g/m². It is rigid enough to maintain the tension of the film with a larger device, but thanks to the single wall B-flute structure, it acts as an additional buffer absorbing impact energy.

3. Advanced PE Retention Film (40 microns)

This is the heart of the FixBox system. We do not use ordinary cling film. We have applied a specialised polyethylene (PE) film with a thickness of 40 microns:

• "Hammock" Effect: The film suspends the laptop in the air, creating a distance from the box walls. In the event of a package drop, the energy dissipates through the cardboard without directly reaching the computer casing.
• Elasticity and Memory: The film perfectly adapts to the shape of the laptop (whether it is a slim 17" model or a thicker gaming station) and returns to its original shape after the equipment is removed.
• Surface Safety: Polyethylene is chemically inert and smooth – it will not scratch delicate laptop casings or react with screens.

🌐 Application in Modern Business

• 🛒 E-commerce: secure shipping of large laptops to customers without fear of damage.
• 🛠️ IT Services: packing and returning equipment after repair or replacement.
• ♻️ Refurbished Sellers: professional presentation of used laptops with accessories.
• 🏠 Remote Work: fast and secure shipping of computers to employees (graphic designers, programmers, engineers).

⚙️ How to pack a laptop in the FixBox set?

1. Fold the box along the creasing lines and secure the bottom with adhesive tape.
2. Slide the laptop under the stretch film - this fixes and stabilises the equipment.
3. Place the film insert inside the cardboard box.
4. Place the charger in the compartment within the box.
5. Close the box and tape it at the top. Ready for shipping!

💡 Tips for packing laptops

🤔💡 Tip: It is worth considering the use of a handheld tape dispenser. It simplifies and speeds up the package sealing process, saving time and material - especially with larger shipping volumes.

Want your package to stand out? Choose logo-printed tape, which enhances the unboxing experience, emphasises your brand's professionalism, and increases recognition from the first contact with the package.

⚡ Fast and Convenient Packing

• Simple setup: ready to assemble in seconds.
• Full protection: secures the entire set - large laptop and power supply.
• Flat packing: space-saving in the warehouse and during bulk transport.

🎨 Professional Package Appearance

• Aesthetics and protection: brown cardboard box with printed warning pictograms.
• Good first impression: Careful packing builds trust in the brand.
• Unboxing experience: laptop immobilised, separate compartment for the charger - zero chaos.

Fixbox for shipping 17-inch laptops vs traditional packaging – comparison

Choosing professional packaging is not only a matter of safety, but also your company's image and care for the environment. See why Fixbox FBL17 outperforms standard methods for shipping large laptops.

Is there an equally eco-friendly alternative?

An equally ecological solution is moulded pulp forms. However, Fixbox wins in daily use – it takes up much less space in the warehouse (stored flat) and is more versatile. It fits various 17" laptop models, eliminating the need to purchase many types of dedicated forms.

FSC® Certificate – What does it mean for you?

By choosing the FixBox FBL17 set, you receive a product made from materials from responsible sources. The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) certificate is a "quality mark" for forestry management, which translates into real benefits for your business and the planet.

Remember: Choosing FSC-certified packaging is the easiest way to make your e-commerce "greener" without compromising on the durability and safety of the shipment.
