隨(sui)著運輸方(fang)式的(de)(de)改(gai)變(bian)(bian)和銷售(shou)方(fang)式的(de)(de)變(bian)(bian)革，紙箱(xiang)、紙盒的(de)(de)樣式日趨(qu)多樣化，幾乎(hu)每一種新型的(de)(de)非(fei)標紙箱(xiang)都(dou)伴隨(sui)著一套自動(dong)化設(she)備問世，而造型新穎的(de)(de)紙盒本(ben)身，也成為了商品促銷的(de)(de)手段(duan)。

　　紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)最常見(jian)的(de)(de)(de)(de)分類(lei)(lei)是按照紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)板(ban)(ban)(ban)(ban)的(de)(de)(de)(de)瓦(wa)(wa)楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)形來(lai)區分的(de)(de)(de)(de)。瓦(wa)(wa)楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)板(ban)(ban)(ban)(ban)的(de)(de)(de)(de)楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)型(xing)(xing)(xing)主(zhu)(zhu)要(yao)分為(wei)四種：A楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)、B楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)、C楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)和(he)E楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)。 一(yi)(yi)般而言，用(yong)(yong)於外包裝(zhuang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)主(zhu)(zhu)要(yao)采(cai)用(yong)(yong)A、B、C楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)型(xing)(xing)(xing)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)板(ban)(ban)(ban)(ban);中(zhong)(zhong)包裝(zhuang)采(cai)用(yong)(yong)B、E楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)型(xing)(xing)(xing);小包裝(zhuang)則多使用(yong)(yong)E楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)板(ban)(ban)(ban)(ban)。 瓦(wa)(wa)楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)型(xing)(xing)(xing)結構，在(zai)國(guo)(guo)際(ji)上普遍(bian)采(cai)用(yong)(yong)由歐洲瓦(wa)(wa)楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)制造(zao)商聯(lian)合(he)會(FEFCO)和(he)瑞士紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)板(ban)(ban)(ban)(ban)協會(ASSCO)聯(lian)合(he)制定的(de)(de)(de)(de)國(guo)(guo)際(ji)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)型(xing)(xing)(xing)標(biao)準(zhun)(zhun)。這一(yi)(yi)標(biao)準(zhun)(zhun)經國(guo)(guo)際(ji)瓦(wa)(wa)楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)板(ban)(ban)(ban)(ban)協會批準(zhun)(zhun)在(zai)國(guo)(guo)際(ji)間通(tong)用(yong)(yong)。 基礎(chu)(chu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)即基本(ben)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)型(xing)(xing)(xing)，在(zai)標(biao)準(zhun)(zhun)中(zhong)(zhong)有圖例(li)可查，一(yi)(yi)般用(yong)(yong)四位數(shu)字表(biao)(biao)(biao)示(shi)，前兩(liang)位表(biao)(biao)(biao)示(shi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)型(xing)(xing)(xing)種類(lei)(lei)，後兩(liang)位表(biao)(biao)(biao)示(shi)同一(yi)(yi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)型(xing)(xing)(xing)種類(lei)(lei)中(zhong)(zhong)不同的(de)(de)(de)(de)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)式樣(yang)。例(li)如(ru)：02表(biao)(biao)(biao)示(shi)開槽型(xing)(xing)(xing)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang);03表(biao)(biao)(biao)示(shi)套合(he)型(xing)(xing)(xing)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)等。而組合(he)型(xing)(xing)(xing)是基礎(chu)(chu)型(xing)(xing)(xing)的(de)(de)(de)(de)組合(he)，即由兩(liang)種以上的(de)(de)(de)(de)基本(ben)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)型(xing)(xing)(xing)所組成(cheng)，用(yong)(yong)多組四位數(shu)字或代(dai)號來(lai)表(biao)(biao)(biao)示(shi)。例(li)如(ru)，一(yi)(yi)個紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)上搖蓋(gai)可以用(yong)(yong)0204型(xing)(xing)(xing)，下搖蓋(gai)用(yong)(yong)0215型(xing)(xing)(xing)。 中(zhong)(zhong)國(guo)(guo)的(de)(de)(de)(de)國(guo)(guo)家標(biao)準(zhun)(zhun)GB6543-86參考國(guo)(guo)際(ji)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)型(xing)(xing)(xing)標(biao)準(zhun)(zhun)系(xi)列規定了運輸包裝(zhuang)用(yong)(yong)單(dan)瓦(wa)(wa)楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)和(he)雙瓦(wa)(wa)楞(leng)(leng)(leng)(leng)紙(zhi)(zhi)(zhi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)的(de)(de)(de)(de)基本(ben)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)型(xing)(xing)(xing)，其(qi)箱(xiang)(xiang)(xiang)型(xing)(xing)(xing)代(dai)號如(ru)下表(biao)(biao)(biao)。

　　紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)可以(yi)按(an)照用材和(he)(he)使用目的及用途進行分(fen)(fen)類(lei)，但最常用的方(fang)(fang)法卻是(shi)按(an)照紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)的加工方(fang)(fang)式(shi)(shi)(shi)來(lai)進行區分(fen)(fen)的。一(yi)般分(fen)(fen)為(wei)折(zhe)著紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)和(he)(he)粘貼(tie)紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)。 折(zhe)疊紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)是(shi)應用最為(wei)廣泛(fan)，結構(gou)(gou)變化最多(duo)(duo)的一(yi)種銷售包(bao)裝，一(yi)般又分(fen)(fen)為(wei)管(guan)(guan)式(shi)(shi)(shi)折(zhe)疊紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)、盤(pan)式(shi)(shi)(shi)折(zhe)疊紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)、管(guan)(guan)盤(pan)式(shi)(shi)(shi)折(zhe)疊紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)、非管(guan)(guan)非盤(pan)式(shi)(shi)(shi)折(zhe)疊紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)等(deng)。 粘貼(tie)紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)與折(zhe)疊紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)一(yi)樣，按(an)成型方(fang)(fang)式(shi)(shi)(shi)可以(yi)分(fen)(fen)為(wei)管(guan)(guan)式(shi)(shi)(shi)、盤(pan)式(shi)(shi)(shi)和(he)(he)亦(yi)管(guan)(guan)亦(yi)盤(pan)式(shi)(shi)(shi)三大類(lei)。 每一(yi)大類(lei)紙(zhi)(zhi)盒(he)(he)類(lei)型中又可以(yi)根據局部結構(gou)(gou)的不(bu)同細分(fen)(fen)出很多(duo)(duo)小(xiao)類(lei)，并(bing)且可以(yi)增(zeng)加一(yi)些功能性(xing)結構(gou)(gou)，比如組合、開窗、增(zeng)加提手等(deng)等(deng)。
