Custom boxes for San Diego brands

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 San Diego. If you have a hard launch date, tell us the date and we will tell you honestly whether it is possible.

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.

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

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.

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.

Yes, and it is the normal arrangement for anyone shipping from San Diego. 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.

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.

Custom Mailer Boxes are a good fit for a lot of brands here, and apparel & accessories 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.

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.

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.
