Start with what you need

Packaging that does more than hold a product.

Pick what you're packing and a format. We'll tell you if it fits, and if it doesn't, what to use instead.

Folding carton

Good fit

Printed paperboard that ships flat and folds in seconds.

The standard for retail. Prints edge to edge and stacks neatly on a shelf.

Mailer boxes

Self-locking corrugated boxes that ship without an outer carton and open like a lid.

Folding cartons

Tuck-end cartons for the shelf. Ship flat, fold in seconds, print edge to edge.

Paperboard

Rigid boxes

Two-piece lid and base boxes in wrapped greyboard. The box people keep on a shelf.

Rigid board
foldwellSleeve and drawer

Sleeve and drawer boxes

A drawer that slides out of a printed sleeve. Slower to open, which is the point.

Kraft boxes

Unbleached kraft cartons with one- or two-color print. Reads as natural without saying so.

Gable boxes

Carry boxes with a built-in handle. Good for pastries, gift sets and takeout.

Paperboard

Finishes

Most boxes need one finish, not four.

Pick the one that people will notice in their hands. Your specialist will tell you which ones fight each other.

Foil stamping

Metallic foil pressed into the board. Catches light at an angle.

Embossing

A raised shape you can feel with your thumb. No ink needed.

Debossing

The opposite: pressed in. Quieter, and it works on kraft.

Spot UV

Gloss on one area of a matte box. Good for a logo, bad for text.

Soft-touch

A velvet feel on the whole surface. Adds a plastic layer, so skip it if you need plastic-free.

Aqueous coating

Water-based protective layer. Recyclable and the default on every box.

How it works

Four steps, one person.

The specialist who picks up your first email stays with the project until the boxes arrive.

  1. Step 01

    Tell us what you're packing

    Send the product dimensions, how it ships and how many you need. A photo on a ruler is enough to start.

  2. Step 02

    We draw the structure

    Your packaging specialist builds the dieline around your product. Structural design is free.

  3. Step 03

    You approve the proof

    Drop your artwork onto the dieline. We check bleed, folds and barcodes, and send a digital proof.

  4. Step 04

    We make and ship

    Production takes 10–12 days on most orders. Boxes ship flat, packed in cartons, to your door.

Honest fit

When not to hire us.

You need fewer than 50 boxes

Our minimum is 50 units. For 10 or 20, a stock box with a printed sticker will cost you less.

You need boxes next week

Production runs 10–12 days before shipping. If your launch is sooner, buy stock boxes now and switch to custom for the next run.

You want plain brown boxes

If nothing gets printed, a stock box supplier is cheaper and faster. We're worth it once the box carries your brand.

FAQ

Questions we get every week.

What is the minimum order?

50 units per design. That is enough to test a box with real customers before you commit to a bigger run.

How long does production take?

10–12 days for most orders, counted from proof approval. Shipping time is on top of that and depends on where the boxes are going.

Do you charge for structural design?

No. We build the dieline around your product for free, and you only pay once you order boxes.

Are your boxes recyclable?

Our paper-first materials are 100% recyclable. Some finishes, like soft-touch lamination and window film, add plastic. If plastic-free matters to you, your specialist will tell you which finishes to skip.

Can you make a box to my exact dimensions?

Yes. Every box is drawn around your product. Send us the inside dimensions (length, width, depth) or the product itself and we'll measure it.

Who will I work with?

One packaging specialist, from the first sketch to delivery. You won't be passed between departments.
