Every box we make, in one place

Yes, and it works out better that way. Add each format to your cart, set the quantity on each, and send the lot in one go. We price them together, which usually saves on artwork setup and sometimes on freight if they ship at the same time.

The 'from' price on each card is what that format lands at on a decent sized run, usually 1,000 or more. A run of 100 or 250 costs noticeably more per box, because the setup is the same whether we print a hundred or five thousand. The buy box on each product page will get you within range for your own size and quantity.

We can quote them, but honestly you will do better at a stock box supplier for plain brown boxes. Our pricing assumes printing, and buying an unprinted custom box from us means paying for a setup you are not using. Where we are worth it is the moment your brand goes on the box.

Pillow boxes at about 60 cents and folding cartons at about $1.05, both at volume. Cheapest per box is not always cheapest per order though. A small format at 500 units can cost less in total than a large one at 100, so tell us the budget and we will say which format fits it.

You can, and it is worth knowing what it costs. Each size is its own die and its own setup, so two sizes is closer to two orders than one. If both sizes are going ahead anyway, running them together still saves on artwork and shipping. If one is a maybe, order the certain one first.

Every format runs 3 to 5 days on press, inside a production window of 5 working days. That clock starts when you approve the proof, not when you send the enquiry, and there is 1 to 7 days of transit on top. If you have a launch date, tell us the date and we will say honestly whether it works.

One question sorts most first orders: does the box go in the post on its own, or does it go inside something else? On its own means a mailer. Inside something else means a folding carton. Everything after that is a preference rather than a mistake, and we will tell you if you have picked the expensive way round.

A mailer is printed on the outside and is meant to be the parcel. A shipping box is a plain outer whose job is to protect what is inside it. If your customer sees it on their doorstep, buy the mailer. If it is going to a warehouse to be opened by staff, buy the plain one and put the money somewhere they will notice.

No, and we would rather publish that than bury it. Below a hundred the setup swallows the order and a box that ought to cost two dollars costs eight. At that size a stock box with a well printed sticker is genuinely the better buy, and it is what we will tell you to do.

No, and nobody in packaging quotes it that way. Freight depends on where the pallet goes and how much air is inside the boxes, so it is priced as its own line where you can see it rather than folded into a unit price where you cannot.
