Bambou Diffusion's advice on choosing the right cardboard basket

Choosing size and dimensions

Before choosing a cardboard basket, assess the size and weight of your products. Make sure you choose a garbage can that offers enough space to hold them without compressing them. If your products have particular shapes or sizes, look for baskets with dimensions adapted to these specifications.
Also, consider the dimensions of the basket in relation to your needs. If you want to display a bottle of wine, you'll need to choose a basket at least 30 cm long. You can protect your packaging while showcasing your bottle thanks to the curling.

To meet all your needs in cardboard baskets, we have several formats to choose from:

  • Square basket
  • Rectangular basket
  • Round basket
  • Oval box


What use for the baskets?

We offer a wide range of cardboard baskets in a variety of finishes to meet the needs of our customers: confectioners, boutiques, chocolatiers. Are you a brewer looking for sturdy baskets suitable for transporting fragile bottles?
Are you a foie gras producer looking for a basket suitable for fragile jars?
Thanks to their solid construction, our baskets are equally suitable for wine merchants and delicatessens.



Materials and quality

Cardboard packaging has the advantage of combining sturdiness and lightness. If you want to make open baskets with heavy products, such as glass bottles or jars, this is the right choice.
Opt for high-quality cardboard baskets to ensure the safety of your products during handling. Sturdy, resistant cardboard will prevent damage caused by impact or careless handling.
A quality cardboard basket also reflects the value and quality of your products, reinforcing the confidence of your customers.
Practical, the baskets are easily stackable in the store and in storage. Baskets delivered flat are also easy to store and assemble.
Cardboard baskets have the advantage of being recyclable, so you can offer packaging for products whose manufacture is ecologically responsible.



Design and personalization

The design of the cardboard basket is crucial to communicating your brand image. Our team of designers offers a wide range of customization options to match your corporate identity. We offer a wide range of basket models with different graphics to suit every taste.
The personalization option also allows you to create customized packaging that will reinforce your brand image with customers and make your boxes real decorative objects.
Beyond the graphics, we can create baskets in the dimensions of your choice according to your needs.



Aesthetics and style

Your choice of cardboard basket should reflect the aesthetics and style of your company.
Consider the image you wish to project: elegant, modern, traditional, artisanal, etc. Choose baskets that match your colors and overall style. You can opt for cardboard baskets with a sleek finish for a modern look, or baskets with the natural texture of cardboard for a more rustic, eco-friendly look.
Always choose the style of your packaging according to the products you'll be displaying. A traditional-looking carton is ideal for showcasing the authenticity of regional products. A more elaborate cardboard basket will showcase high-end savoury or sweet products.



Budget

Determine your budget for cardboard baskets and strike a balance between quality, personalization and cost. Remember that the quality of your paper baskets can influence your customers' experience, so it's important to invest in quality baskets that match your brand image. To reduce your budget while maintaining quality presentation, we recommend choosing standard formats and ordering complete packages.
We offer a wide range of baskets delivered flat for economical, easy-to-store cardboard packaging.



Complement your cardboard baskets with original accessories

To protect your compositions, especially your more fragile food products, we recommend complementing your baskets with crimped paper. This solution is more environmentally friendly than bubble wrap, and will enhance your products and your visual identity with a wide choice of colors.
Finally, the essential accessory for embellishing your baskets is the polypropylene liner.
This transparent liner has the advantage of protecting your composition while highlighting the contents of your gourmet basket.
To close your presentation with style, also consider the drawstring bow.
By following these tips, you'll be able to select the right cardboard basket for your products and your brand image.
Don't forget that choosing a quality cardboard basket, adapted to your needs, will have a positive impact on your customers' experience and reinforce your company's image. Take the time to assess your needs and choose litter garbage cans that meet your criteria in terms of size, quality, design and budget.
