# How can I make product boxes more compact?

The "spacing" or "gaps" in product boxes – for example in product listings or product sliders – are intended by Shopware and already exist in the standard theme.

Technically seen, these are "placeholders" for informations that have to be displayed depending on the product configuration (see screenshot below).

These are e.g. information such as the **rating** or **variant characteristics**.

These "placeholders" are used to prevent product boxes from having different heights due to the lack of information in some products.

Of course, we have also thought about this and show you a few tips and optimization possibilities in the following article:
