Why this box
When shipping boxes are the right call
Buy a printed shipper when protection matters more than ceremony, or when a smaller printed box is going inside it. It takes a beating better than a mailer and it prints for less per square inch. If your customer opens it, a mailer is the better buy. If a warehouse opens it, this is.
How it is made
What happens on press
B flute corrugate, printed and die cut flat, then folded into a regular slotted case and taped at your end. It is the oldest and cheapest construction in the trade, which is precisely why it is good at the one job it has.
Sizes
Will your product fit?
Three sizes that cover most orders. They are a starting point rather than a menu, because every box is cut to your own measurements, so if your product lands between two rows we make the one in between.
| Size | Dimensions | What it holds |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 8 x 6 x 4 in | One or two products with padding around them |
| Medium | 12 x 9 x 6 in | A multi item order |
| Large | 16 x 12 x 8 in | Wholesale cases and bulk orders |
All dimensions are the inside of the box, in length by width by depth order. How to measure a box properly.

Straight answers
Questions
If yours is not here, just ask. A real person reads every message and you will not get signed up to a mailing list for it.
Why custom shipping boxes for cosmetics and beauty brands?
In beauty, people judge the box long before they try what's inside it. You get premium touches like soft touch coating, foil and embossing, at quantities a growing brand can actually order.
What is the smallest order?
100 boxes, which is a realistic first run for a growing cosmetics & beauty brand. You get a proper printed box without committing to thousands of them.
What does a run actually cost?
Shipping Boxes start at 80 cents a box at volume. A first run of 100 to 250 lands higher per box, because the setup costs the same whatever the quantity. Use the estimator on this page for a range, then ask for a real number.
Can you match our brand colors and finish?
Yes. We print in full color to match your brand, and offer finishes like matte, gloss, soft touch and foil. The design help is free. Colour on press is close to a screen rather than identical, so send a Pantone reference if you have one and we will hold to it as tightly as the process allows.
What artwork do you need?
A vector logo, so an AI, EPS or PDF file. If you only have a PNG, send it and we will tell you honestly whether it prints cleanly at that size. Redrawing a simple logo is part of the free design work, not an extra charge.
How long until they arrive?
Production on shipping boxes runs 10 to 14 days once you approve the digital proof, then a few days in transit anywhere in the lower 48. If you have a launch date, tell us the date and we will say honestly whether it is possible.
Will I get exactly the quantity I ordered?
Usually, and plan for up to 10 percent either way. Over and under runs are standard across printed packaging, because sheets get used up getting the press dialled in. Tell us the number you cannot go below and we will run to that instead.
Can we start small and reorder later?
That is the sensible way to do it. Order 100 to prove the size and the artwork, then order properly once you know the box is right. We keep your artwork and your dieline on file, so a reorder is one message and the same box turns up again at the same specification.
What goes wrong most often on a first order?
Ordering before measuring. A box a few millimetres too big lets the product rattle around, and a box a few millimetres too small is scrap. Print our free dieline at full size, fold it around the actual product, then order. It costs an afternoon and it can save the whole run.
Do shipping boxes ship flat or assembled?
Flat in almost every case, which is good news for your freight bill, because flat board packs tight and you are not paying to ship air. Rigid boxes are the exception: they cannot be knocked down, which is part of why they cost more to send.
Can we see one before we commit?
Yes, and you should. The sample pack is free, postage included, and board thickness and finish are the two things a screen genuinely cannot show you. For a cosmetics & beauty product the thing worth checking is how the board behaves at the size you actually need.
