Whether you need a small packaging run, ecommerce mailer, retail carton, shipping box or premium rigid format, the specification can be developed around your product rather than forcing it into a standard size.

How the Custom Packaging Process Works

1. Share Your Requirements

Tell us what you are packaging, the product dimensions, approximate weight, required quantity and preferred box style. You can also share your existing artwork or explain what you need help designing.

2. Review Your Quote

We review your requirements and prepare pricing based on the box structure, dimensions, material, printing, finishing and quantity.

3. Prepare the Design

Our custom box design support can help with box structures, dielines and artwork preparation before production. Digital proofing and sample options can also be discussed.

4. Approve the Final Specification

Review the artwork, dimensions, materials and finishing details before the order moves into production.

5. Production and Delivery

After approval, your packaging moves into production. Production timing depends on the box style, quantity, materials, finishing, and artwork approval, with the applicable schedule confirmed in your quotation.

How to Choose the Right Packaging Box

The right packaging depends on what you are selling, how it will be handled, and how you want it to look.

• Start with the product size: Measure the product carefully and allow space for any insert, divider or protective material required.
• Consider the box structure: Mailer, folding carton, rigid, sleeve, tray-and-lid and other structures suit different products and presentation needs.
• Choose suitable board: Corrugated packaging can provide additional protection for shipping, while cardstock and rigid board suit different product and presentation requirements.
• Think about the delivery journey: Ecommerce packaging should balance protection, storage, packing efficiency and practical shipping dimensions.
• Plan the branding: Add your logo, colours, product information and other artwork where it supports the customer experience.
• Consider internal protection: Inserts, dividers or fitted supports can help keep products organised inside the box where required.
• Test before scaling: Samples, proofs or smaller production runs can help you check the fit, artwork and finish before a larger order.

Packaging Materials

Material selection affects the strength, appearance, print result, finish and overall cost of your packaging.

Kraft Board

Kraft board provides a natural appearance and can be used for a range of printed or plain packaging applications.

Cardstock and Paperboard

Cardstock and paperboard can suit printed product boxes, retail packaging, sleeves and other folding packaging formats.

Corrugated Board

Corrugated packaging is useful when products need additional protection during storage, packing and courier delivery. Different board strengths can be considered according to the application.

Rigid Board

Rigid board provides a structured format for luxury packaging, gift boxes and presentation-led products.

Where recycled or recyclable board options are available, the final packaging specification should also consider coatings, laminations, inks and other components that may affect recyclability.

Printing and Finishing Options

Your packaging can be customised with different printing and finishing choices depending on the box style and material.

Printing

• Digital printing for detailed artwork and smaller production runs
• Offset printing for larger runs and high-quality printed packaging
• CMYK full-colour printing
• Pantone or spot-colour options where suitable
• Screen printing for selected packaging applications

Finishing

• Matte finish
• Gloss finish
• Soft-touch finish
• Foil stamping
• Embossing and debossing
• Spot UV
• Window cut-outs on selected packaging styles
• Die-cutting, creasing and other structural options where applicable

Finishing can affect cost and production time, so the best combination depends on your packaging goals, quantity and budget.

Ecommerce and Retail Packaging

Ecommerce Packaging

Online orders travel through packing areas, warehouses, and courier networks before they reach the customer. A suitable box should provide enough protection without using unnecessary space.

Consider:

• Product dimensions and packed weight
• Corrugated strength where needed
• Inserts or dividers for products that may move inside the box
• Practical box sizes for storage and packing
• Branded printing for the customer unboxing experience

For products that require extra protection, Custom mailer boxes with inserts can help keep items organised inside the package.

Retail Packaging

Retail packaging has to balance presentation with practical product information and protection.

Useful options can include:

• Custom printed branding
• Product information and instructions
• Windows or display cut-outs
• Hang tabs
• Inserts or partitions
• Matte, gloss, foil, or other finishing options

What Affects the Cost of Custom Packaging?

The main cost factors include:

• Box style and structure
• Finished dimensions
• Board or material
• Print coverage
• Colour requirements
• Finishing options
• Inserts, windows or other add-ons

Quality and Design Support

Our packaging support can help you review:

• Box size and structure
• Dielines and artwork
• Material and board options
• Printing requirements
