Custom boxes for Los Angeles brands

LA is beauty and wellness first. A lot of our California orders are skincare and supplement brands going from a farmers market table to a proper retail look, usually in a hurry because a launch date already exists.

On the ground

What shipping to Los Angeles is actually like

Written for Los Angeles rather than swapped in. If none of it matches the situation you are actually in, say so and we will price the job you have rather than the one described here.

Getting boxes into Los Angeles

Most of what we send to LA goes to a home office or a small studio rather than a warehouse with a dock, and a pallet of boxes needs a truck with a tail lift if there is nobody there to unload it. Say where the delivery is actually going when you ask for a price, not after the run is printed.

What we’d order here

If you are a skincare brand doing a first run, order the folding carton and the mailer on the same job. Two setups on one order costs less than two separate orders, and it means the outer and the inner match from day one rather than from your second reorder.

Worth knowing

What catches people out

LA moves fast on launch dates and slowly on artwork approval, and those two fight each other. Production is 5 working days from the moment you approve a proof, not from the moment you place the order, so a launch date has to be worked backwards from proof approval and not from today.

What Los Angeles brands order most

Three formats cover most of what leaves for California. If none of them is obviously right for what you sell, say what you ship and we will pick one for you.

Straight answers

Questions from Los Angeles

Including the one nobody else answers honestly, which is whether we are actually in your city. We are not, and the page says so.

Ask us anything

How long does delivery to Los Angeles take?

Production runs 5 working days from artwork approval, with 3 to 5 of those on press, then roughly 2 to 3 days in transit to Los Angeles. If you have a hard launch date, tell us the date and we will tell you honestly whether it is possible.

Do you have an office in Los Angeles?

No, and we would rather say so plainly. BoxCrisp is a US company that works with vetted US manufacturing partners, so your boxes are made and shipped domestically. Everything happens by email and phone, which is how most packaging gets bought anyway.

What is the smallest order you will take?

A hundred boxes, on every format we make. That is deliberately low so a Los Angeles brand can test a design properly without committing to thousands.

Can you help with the design?

Yes, and it is free. Send your logo and a rough idea, and we will send back a print ready proof before anything is made.

Are the boxes printed in Los Angeles?

Not usually. They are printed at whichever US partner plant suits the format and then shipped to you, which is roughly 2 to 3 days on the ground. Picking the plant by format rather than by postcode is what keeps the price sensible; a nearer press that is wrong for the job costs more than the freight it saves.

Can you deliver straight to a fulfilment centre?

Yes, and it is the normal arrangement for anyone shipping from Los Angeles. Give us the warehouse address, any inbound reference or ASN they need on the label, and how they want the pallet built. Tell us early rather than at proof stage, because a 3PL that rejects a delivery will charge you for the privilege.

Does shipping to Los Angeles cost more than anywhere else?

A little, and the format matters more than the map. Flat formats pack tight and ship cheaply. Assembled rigid boxes are mostly air, so freight on those is a real line on the quote rather than a rounding error. Freight is always quoted separately so you can see which one you are paying for.

What do Los Angeles brands usually order?

Custom Mailer Boxes are a good fit for a lot of brands here, and cosmetics & beauty is a strong category in the city. That is a starting point rather than a rule: the right format is decided by what goes inside the box, not by the city it ships from.

Can I get a sample pack sent to Los Angeles first?

Please do, and do it before you commit to a run. The pack is free, shipping is $9.95 flat and comes off your first order, and asking for one takes no card. Board thickness and print finish are the two things a screen cannot show you, and they are also the two things people most regret guessing at.

What happens if a delivery turns up damaged?

Photograph the pallet before you unwrap it and send us the pictures the same day. Transit damage is a claim we make, not one you chase, and a photograph taken at the door settles it in a morning. If the boxes are unusable, they get remade.

Where we ship

We also ship to

BoxCrisp ships anywhere in the lower 48. These are the cities we send the most boxes to, and the cost guide applies to all of them.
