Why Getting The Best Packaging Actually Makes The Difference
You always have two options, use plain brown boxes and look amateur, or order thousands of custom boxes they couldn't afford or store. Now you can get custom product boxes in quantities that actually make sense for where your business is right now.
We've made packaging for thousands of businesses globally. Someone selling handmade soap at markets. Online stores do a few hundred orders monthly. Retail brands expanding into new stores or Subscription boxes. All of them needed professional packaging without meeting the minimums.
Good packaging does way more than hold your product. It's marketing, brand building, and product protection all working together. Put your product in a plain box and customers think the business is also mediocre. Put the same product in nice custom retail boxes with professional printing and people will pay double.
Unavoidable Benefits Of The Custom Made Boxes
Switching from generic to custom packaging changes how customers see your entire business:
- Brand recognition every time someone sees your box whether it's on a shelf, in an unboxing video or delivered to them
- Professional appearance makes people think quality product before they even open it
- Product protection will improve when boxes are designed specifically
- Customer experience improves with thoughtful details like easy opening and nice texture
- Unboxing creates free marketing when customers share videos and photos on social media
First impressions matter especially for new brands making their mark. Custom sizes mean products fit properly without damage from rattling around during shipping. Your box competes against dozens of others and generic brown boxes lose that fight every time. For food products, we use FDA-approved materials that meet safety standards.
We Offer Different Types for Different Products
Tuck top boxes are probably what most people picture. The top tucks closed with tabs. Simple, affordable, works for tons of products. Popular for cosmetics, food items, electronics, candles, basically anything needing basic protection and branding.
Rigid boxes feel premium and luxurious. These use thick boards that don't fold and the lid lifts off completely. More expensive but the quality is obvious. Perfect for high end products, gift items, luxury goods, anything where presentation really matters.
Mailer boxes are built specifically for shipping. These usually have tuck closures on both ends and stronger construction. The inside can be printed with branding so it looks great when customers open deliveries. E-commerce brands love these.
Window boxes let customers see the product through a clear panel. Great for food products, handmade items, anything where showing what's inside helps sales. Sleeve boxes have an outer sleeve sliding over an inner tray. Premium look, easy to open, two surfaces for different information.
Features Of The Custom Made Boxes That You Will Love
Full color CMYK printing means your design looks exactly right. Photos, gradients, complex graphics, whatever you want. We're not talking simple one or two color printing. Your brand colors match perfectly every time.
Finish options completely change the feel. Gloss coating makes everything shiny and colors pop bright. Matte coating looks sophisticated and feels smooth to touch. Soft touch adds a velvety texture that screams premium quality. Spot UV creates glossy highlights over matte backgrounds. Foil stamping adds metallic gold or silver accents that catch light. Embossing creates raised designs you can actually feel. Debossing presses patterns into the board for subtle texture.

Choosing the right material depends on product weight, how it'll be used, and what impression you're trying to make. Our team can easily help you decide what makes sense for your specific situation.
The Simple Steps To Order From Plus Printers
First figure out what size you need. Measure your product and add just a bit of space in it so everything fits comfortably. Too tight and the box will not close. Too big and your product will move around inside with a chance of breakage. Our team will help you decide what the right measurements are.
The next thing is design. You can send us something you have created or work with our free design services. We'll show you how printing will look on the actual box before production starts. Make changes until it's perfect. This is your brand so it needs to be right.
