Custom Box InsertsCustom Box Guides
Short, practical guides to the decisions behind a custom box: style, size, board, print, finish and price.
How to Choose a Custom Box Style
Mailer, carton, tuck end, rigid, sleeve or pillow? Start with what the box has to do, and the right style usually picks itself.
Measuring Your Product for a Custom Box
Every box we make is cut to the size you give us, so a few minutes with a ruler makes all the difference. Here is how to get it right.
Board and Card Types Explained
The board decides how strong a box is, how it prints and how it feels in the hand. Here is what each one is and when to choose it.
Print and Finish Options Compared
Print gives a box its colour and message. Finishes give it texture, shine and protection. Here is how the options compare and when each is worth adding.
How Custom Box Pricing Works
Custom boxes are priced per job, because no two orders are quite the same. Here is what goes into a price, and how to keep it down.
Board and Finish in Photos
Every board and finish we offer, side by side, with what each is used for.
Where to Start
If this is your first custom box, read the guides in order. Choosing a box style narrows the options to the styles that suit how your product is sold and sent. Measuring your product makes sure the box fits. The board, print and pricing guides then help you balance strength, looks and cost.
You do not need to have every answer before asking for a price. Send what you know through the quote form and our team will suggest the rest in your custom quote, with a free design proof before anything is printed.
