We’re all familiar with that person who refuses to throw away parcel boxes because it’s ‘too beautiful to throw away’. They lovingly caress the box and rave about how elegant and luxurious it looks.

Well, you want your packaging to evoke a similar emotion. The customer must fall in love with the product even before opening it. There are many custom packaging companies that can offer that and more. From simple merchandise bags to high-end cloth bags and gourmet creations that ooze sophistication and style. Custom boxes ensure your products arrive in style.

While many use the word “box” to describe custom packaging, it is by no means limited to a box. There are many options for the typical ‘box’. Packaging customization typically involves choosing a unique shape for your brand, adding a design or logo. Some brands even go so far as to add a name for their exclusive customers.

There are three printing methods that are commonly used to print custom packaging

• Flexo printing: This works like a really big rubber stamp: a printing plate with your packaging design on it acts as a huge ink pad that collects the ink and then stamps it onto your box. It is the cheaper of the two options.

• Digital Printing: Digital printing is usually used for smaller orders. It is similar to the laser jet printer you use at home. Mix the inks, then directly apply the color and design onto the custom box.

• Lithographic label printing: Derived from lithography, it provides a much cleaner and higher resolution print. Here the printing is done on a sheet of paper, treated, cut and then adhered to the box with an adhesive.

Custom boxes come in various sizes including but not limited to;

• 5-13/16″ X 5-3/4″ X 1-15/16″ – ideal for jewelry and other small items

• 7″ X 7-1/8″ X 2-1/4″ a great size for pharmaceuticals, pharmaceuticals, and shipping packaging

• 9″ X 6-1/2″ X 2-3/4″ – a very popular size for subscription boxes of all types

• 12-1/4″ X 9-1/4″ X 4″ – Our new high-capacity lock face, perfect for shipping anything from full-size snacks to pet toys.

Custom boxes are made from different types of materials, including green and renewable resources; if that kind of thing matters to you. Most vendors are happy to add embellishments like wavy-cut fillers, tissue paper, ribbons, bows, and much more to complete the entire look.

Do you have an unusual design? Do not be afraid. There are companies that are always looking for unique designs to add to their ever-growing collection of cutting dies and mailing inventory. You just have to spend a little more time looking for them.

If you have a cause you care about, there’s plenty of room in a custom box to highlight that cause. Customers love brands with a conscience. Just add a little message about what you stand for on the side or top. It can be a story, a poem or a paragraph; it doesn’t matter, as long as you get your message across.

So go ahead; get a stunning custom box to give your product a premium edge.
