How Custom Packaging Quoting Works
Requesting a custom packaging quote is the first step in a straightforward four-stage workflow. Tell us your product, approximate quantity, and timeline using the form above — exact dimensions are helpful but not required on day one. A packaging specialist reviews your project and responds with clear pricing, production schedule, and any follow-up questions, typically within two hours during business hours.
1. Request quote — Share packaging type, quantity, and product context. Prefill dimensions from our box size calculator or packaging size wizard when available.
2. Design approval — Upload artwork or work with our in-house design team at no extra cost. You approve a digital proof before production begins.
3. Production — Your mailer boxes, cartons, displays, or shipping packaging are printed and assembled to spec.
4. Delivery — Finished packaging ships to your warehouse, 3PL, or fulfillment center.
Every account is assigned a representative who handles quotes, proofs, reorders, and rush requests. There is no commitment until you approve pricing and proof. See the full packaging FAQ for ordering, materials, and shipping details.
Packaging Production Turnaround
Standard production takes 8–12 business days after proof approval on most corrugated, mailer, and carton formats after you approve your digital proof. Rush production of 3–5 business days is available on many products for an additional fee when you need packaging ahead of a launch or seasonal peak.
Production starts the next business day after proof approval. Reorders of an existing approved design move faster because dielines and print plates are already on file. Rigid luxury boxes typically require 12–16 business days because of hand-assembly and specialty finishing — your quote will specify the timeline for your format.
Minimum Order Quantities
BoxYourBrand offers low minimum order quantities designed for growing brands — no massive minimums required to get custom branded packaging. Pilot runs and first-SKU launches are practical at volumes that fit test-market budgets.
Per-unit pricing drops as quantities increase. Many product lines use volume tiers such as 50–249 units for promotions and pilots, 250–999 for scaling programs, and 1,000+ for national rollouts. Your quote itemizes pricing at the quantity you request and shows how unit cost changes at higher tiers.
If you are unsure which quantity to quote, share your monthly ship volume or retail door count. Your specialist can recommend a starting MOQ that balances unit cost with inventory risk. Order samples to validate fit before committing to a full production run.
Materials We Quote
Pricing depends on substrate choice as much as dimensions. We quote corrugated shipping boxes and mailer boxes in kraft, white-top, and recycled content grades; folding cartons in SBS and paperboard calipers from 14pt to 24pt; rigid greyboard presentation boxes; poly and compostable mailer films; litho-laminated retail displays; molded pulp and foam inserts; and food-safe coated board for bakery and food programs.
Single-wall corrugated suits most ecommerce and retail shipping; double-wall adds burst strength for heavier or fragile items. We recommend board grade during quoting based on product weight, channel, and compliance needs. Browse the full custom packaging catalog to see formats before you submit your project.
Quote Printing & Finishing Options
Print and finishing are quoted per project based on coverage, color count, and specialty treatments. Full CMYK process print covers exterior and interior panels on mailers and cartons. Spot color and Pantone matching keep brand colors consistent across SKUs and reorder runs.
Premium finishes include gloss and matte lamination, soft-touch coating, foil stamping, embossing and debossing, and spot UV accents. Interior-only print on mailer boxes is a high-impact upgrade for DTC unboxing. Litho-laminate and high-graphic flexo options are available on retail display programs.
Artwork File Requirements
We accept print-ready vector files (AI, PDF, EPS) and high-resolution raster artwork. Our team confirms specs and flags resolution, bleed, or font issues before anything goes to plates.
Free dieline templates are available for all formats so your designer can lay out panels accurately. If you do not have production-ready files yet, note that in your quote request — our design team can build layout from logos and brand assets at no extra cost.
Artwork & Design Support
Our in-house design team helps at no extra cost. Send your logo, brand colors, and any reference creative and we prepare dielines and panel layout. You typically receive a digital proof within 24 hours of submitting artwork.
Yes. A digital proof is always included free of charge. Physical samples ($25, ship within 5–10 business days) are available before full production.
When fit and hand-feel matter before a full run, order physical samples to validate board grade, print quality, and assembly in your fulfillment environment.
Production Timeline After You Approve
Once you submit a quote request, this is the typical timeline from first contact to delivery:
Quote response — Specialist reply within two hours during business hours with pricing and spec questions.
Artwork & proof — Digital proof within 24 hours of receiving files; revisions until you approve.
Production start — Next business day after proof approval.
Manufacturing — 8–12 business days after proof approval standard on most formats; 3–5 business days rush when quoted.
Shipping — Freight to your warehouse, 3PL, or fulfillment center; timeline confirmed on your order.
Some custom die-cut formats include a one-time tooling fee for the cutting die — your quote itemizes any setup costs up front. Expedited reorders of approved designs are well suited to rush timelines because proofing is already complete.
Shipping & Freight on Packaging Orders
We ship custom packaging to all 50 US states. Free freight is included on orders over $500 within the contiguous United States. Smaller orders are quoted with shipping itemized so you see the full landed cost before approving. Alaska, Hawaii, and US territories may incur additional shipping costs.
International delivery is available to Canada, the United Kingdom, Europe, the UAE, and Australia. Transit times vary by destination and order size — your quote and order confirmation include freight expectations. See packaging by location for regional coverage details.

What are the 4 types of customization?
Custom packaging breaks into four levers you specify on a quote: size and dimensions (internal fit and outer shipper cube), print and branding (logos, full-color panels, interior print), materials (corrugated flute, paperboard caliper, rigid board, or film), and finishes (lamination, foil, embossing, windows, and inserts). Each lever affects per-unit cost and lead time — your quote itemizes all four.
