-- WINDER, GA — Ucanpack, a Georgia-based packaging manufacturer, is drawing attention to telescoping boxes as a practical option for ecommerce sellers shipping irregularly sized or oddly proportioned products. The company says the two-piece, adjustable-depth design allows shippers to match box dimensions more closely to product size, addressing a persistent challenge for merchants sending items that do not fit standard fixed-height cartons. The announcement comes as more online sellers examine packaging choices to manage shipping expenses tied to package dimensions rather than actual weight.
Dimensional weight pricing, used by major carriers to calculate shipping charges based on a package's length, width, and height rather than its actual weight, has become a growing consideration for online retailers. According to the United States Postal Service, dimensional weight pricing applies to many commercial shipments, meaning oversized or poorly fitted boxes can increase costs even when the contents are lightweight. Industry data from the National Retail Federation has noted that packaging efficiency has become a more prominent factor in ecommerce fulfillment strategy as shipping volumes continue to rise.
Telescoping boxes consist of a base and a lid that slide together, allowing the overall height of the box to be adjusted within a range rather than fixed at a single measurement. This construction lets a shipper compress a box around a taller or oddly shaped item, reducing excess interior space that would otherwise count toward dimensional weight calculations. Ucanpack manufactures these boxes in-house at its Winder, Georgia facility, offering multiple flute strengths and size ranges suited to items such as lamps, tools, artwork, and other non-standard products.
The company notes that because telescoping boxes are produced as part of its broader corrugated packaging line, sellers can select from a range of base sizes and depth adjustments without requiring a fully custom box design. Stock telescoping box orders typically ship within a few business days, according to the company, with custom-printed versions available for brands seeking exterior branding in addition to the adjustable-fit construction.
“Sellers often assume a custom box is the only way to fit an irregular product properly, but a telescoping design can solve that same problem using existing tooling,” said Press Room, Contact of Ucanpack.
