Custom shipping boxes protect your products from the warehouse to the customer’s door. Built from corrugated board and sized to your items, they reduce damage, cut void fill and lower shipping costs.
We make custom printed shipping boxes in single wall and double wall corrugated board, as regular slotted cartons, full overlap boxes, mailers and die-cut styles. Print your logo in one colour on kraft for a cost-effective look, or go full colour for a premium delivery.
From small parcels to bulk wholesale cartons, every box is made to size and supplied flat for easy storage.

Why choose custom shipping boxes?
Fewer damaged deliveries
A box that fits your product stops it moving and absorbs knocks in transit.
Lower shipping costs
Right-sized boxes reduce dimensional weight charges and filler.
Brand from the doorstep
A printed shipping box tells customers who it is from before they open it.
Single wall or double wall?
Single wall corrugated (E or B flute) is ideal for most e-commerce products and lighter items. Double wall board adds a second fluted layer for heavy, fragile or high-value goods, and for stacking on pallets.
Tell us the product weight and how it is shipped and we will recommend the right board grade.

Custom shipping boxes wholesale pricing
The price of custom shipping boxes depends on a few simple factors, and knowing them helps you get the best value from your budget:
- Size and style: larger boxes and complex structures use more board and set-up.
- Material: paperboard costs less than corrugated, and corrugated less than rigid board.
- Printed sides: outside-only printing is the most economical; inside printing adds impact for a little more.
- Finishes: foil, embossing and soft-touch add a premium feel and a small cost per box.
- Quantity: the unit price drops as the order grows, so wholesale runs give the best value.
Tip: keep one structure across several products and change only the artwork, and you can order custom shipping boxes in larger combined runs at a lower unit price. Request a free quote and we will suggest ways to reduce cost without losing quality.
Sustainable custom shipping boxes
More customers now check whether packaging can be recycled before they buy. We can make your custom shipping boxes from recyclable and recycled-content board, print with water-based or soy-based inks, swap plastic windows for open or plant-based film, and right-size every box so it uses less material and less void fill. Add a small recycling symbol and message to show customers you care.
Artwork tips for custom shipping boxes
- Design on the dieline we send, with 3 mm (1/8 inch) bleed past every cut edge.
- Keep text and logos at least 3 mm inside folds and cut lines.
- Use 300 DPI images and CMYK colours, or Pantone references for exact brand colours.
- Send logos as vector files and convert fonts to outlines.
- Put the product name and main benefit on the front panel, and barcodes and legal text on the back or base.
