20 Applications of Custom Product Boxes that will Blow Your Mind!

Listen to this article

When we created Custom Product Boxes for WooCommerce, the intention was to create a sophisticated product-bundling plugin. However, in the three years since its release, the plugin has been used in a variety of applications, some of which are unbelievably cool!

As a plugin that essentially helps to create custom product bundles, CPB is viewed by many as limited in scope of application to confectionery, grocery, or make-up products. Frankly, nothing could be farther from the truth.

Today we see 20 applications of CPB, where the website developers thought outside the box and came up with some brilliant customization, utilizing the functionalities of the plugin in a whole different manner!

So without further ado, presenting the 20 most innovative applications of Custom Product Boxes for WooCommerce.
