Most businesses want a box that does its job and doesn’t eat the margin. That’s pretty much the whole pitch for cardboard. Our custom cardboard boxes are light, they hold their shape on a crowded shelf, and they don’t cost much.
Small startups order them. Big brands order them too, by the pallet, because a plain tuck box in cardstock or kraft is about as cheap as decent packaging gets.
Cardboard folds into nearly anything. Mailer, tuck end, sleeve, a tray with a lid, we cut and glue it to your product’s actual measurements (send us the size of a 16 oz candle jar, say, and we work back from that). Finish? Matte, gloss or soft-touch. Windows, handles and inserts if the product needs them, and honestly a lot of products don’t.
It’s also quick to make. Production runs 10 to 12 business days after you approve the proof, which is a lot faster than waiting on rigid boxes.
A blank brown box says nothing. Print your logo and colors on it and people suddenly know who sent it, even when it’s sitting in a pile of other parcels on a porch. We print straight onto the board with soy and water based inks, and the team checks your file for print issues first so the blue you picked doesn’t come out purple.
Here’s who we see ordering custom cardboard boxes most often:
Need something light that still looks decent? Cardboard, usually.
You don’t need to know anything about dielines. Just send us the product size and a rough idea, and we set up the dieline and lay out the artwork for free, then send you a digital proof. Want to hold one first? Ask for a physical sample before the bulk run. Shipping is free anywhere in the USA.
Tell us what you’re packing and how many. Minimums are low, often around 50 boxes depending on the style, and the price per box drops as the quantity goes up. Get in touch for a free quote.
