Custom Delivery Boxes

Product Detail

Keep Your Products Intact with Custom Delivery Boxes

A custom delivery box is far more than a shipping container. It is a strategic asset that helps in retaining customers due to offering high end experience. For subscription boxes, meal kits, and e-commerce brands, the unboxing moment is often the climax of the purchase journey. A well-designed box builds anticipation, encourages social sharing (unboxing videos), and reinforces the value of the subscription. Functionally, a custom box reduces “porch piracy” risks by allowing for discreet branding options or secure locking tabs. It also minimizes returns by ensuring products, whether fragile electronics or fresh food, arrive in pristine condition.

Considerations for Custom Delivery Boxes

We design shipping boxes that make logistics managers happy (efficient, sturdy) and customers delighted (beautiful, easy to open).

Material Choices for the Last Mile

• E-Flute Corrugated: The gold standard for subscription boxes. It offers a smooth surface for high-quality printing while remaining rigid and protective. Ideal for cosmetics, books, and tech accessories.

• B-Flute Corrugated: A thicker option for heavier items like canned goods, beverages, or bulk orders. It provides superior crush resistance for stacking.

• C-Flute (Standard Shipping): The workhorse for general e-commerce. It offers maximum cushioning and stacking strength for larger parcels.

• Double-Wall Board: For extremely heavy or fragile items (like furniture components or industrial parts) that need “overkill” protection.

Styles and Features of Delivery Boxes

• Roll End Tuck Front (RETF): The classic “subscription box” style. It features double-thick side walls for extra protection and a lid that opens like a treasure chest.

• RSC (Regular Slotted Container): The standard shipping box style (flaps meet in the middle). Best for high-volume, automated packing lines.

• Tear Strips (Zipper Boxes): A built-in perforation that allows the customer to zip the box open in one satisfying motion, no scissors required.

• Self-Sealing Adhesive: Peel-and-stick adhesive strips speed up your fulfillment process and eliminate the need for packing tape, creating a cleaner look.

Printing That Handles the Journey

Your box needs to look good even after a bumpy ride.

• Flexographic Printing: Cost-effective for simple logos and patterns on kraft boxes. Great for “Amazon-style” efficiency with a branded twist.

• Litho-Lamination: High-definition, magazine-quality printing laminated onto the corrugated board. Perfect for premium brands that need photo-realistic graphics.

• Inside Printing: Surprise your customer. Printing a greeting, a discount code, or a pattern on the inside of the box turns the unboxing into a reveal.

• Minimalist Branding: For high-value items, we recommend discreet exterior branding to deter theft, with a “wow” factor on the inside.

Finishes for Durability

• Aqueous Coating: A clear, water-based coating that seals the ink and protects the box from scuffs and minor moisture during transit.

• Varnish: Adds a gloss or satin finish to specific areas, making logos pop.

• Wax Coating: For meal kits or produce deliveries, a wax coating prevents moisture from inside (condensation) or outside (rain) from weakening the box.

Delivery Boxes in a Nutshell

Our custom solutions help you achieve:

• Damage Reduction: significantly lower return rates due to shipping damage.

• Cost Savings: Right-sized boxes reduce dimensional weight fees from carriers like UPS and FedEx.

• Brand Virality: “Instagrammable” packaging that customers want to share.

• Security: Tamper-evident features that protect product integrity.

• Sustainability: 100% recyclable materials that are easy for customers to dispose of responsibly.
