Custom automotive packaging protects heavy, oily or precision car parts while making them easy to identify and sell. Strong board, clear labelling and fitted inserts reduce damage and returns.
We make custom printed auto parts boxes for spark plugs, filters, brake pads, bulbs, wipers, tools and accessories, in corrugated and paperboard styles with inserts and dividers.
Clear part numbers, compatibility information and barcodes help mechanics and retailers find the right product quickly.
Why choose automotive packaging boxes?
Strong protection

Packaging for heavy and oily parts
Heavy parts need double wall corrugated and secure closures. Oily or greasy parts benefit from coated board or inner bags. We will recommend the right construction for each part.

Automotive packaging boxes wholesale pricing
The price of automotive packaging 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 automotive packaging 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 automotive packaging boxes
More customers now check whether packaging can be recycled before they buy. We can make your automotive packaging 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 automotive packaging 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.
