About our custom shipping boxes
A shipping box has to survive conveyors, stacking, drops and weather, and it is often the first physical contact a customer has with your brand. We make custom corrugated shipping boxes in the classic regular slotted container style (FEFCO 0201) and other shipper styles, sized to your product and rated for its weight.
Every box is made to your inside dimensions and printed with your logo, from a one-color mark to full-color graphics on every panel. Order from 10 boxes for a pilot, or thousands for your warehouse.
Shipping box options
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| E-flute (about 1.5 mm) | Small, light shippers | Smooth surface for sharp print |
| B-flute (about 3 mm) | Most shipping boxes | Good puncture and crush resistance |
| C-flute (about 4 mm) | Stacking and cushioning | The common grade for warehouse cartons |
| BC double wall (about 6.5 mm) | Heavy and fragile goods | Highest strength; ideal for pallets and long transit |
| 32 ECT to 48 ECT | Matching strength to weight | We recommend the rating your product weight needs |
What affects the price of custom shipping boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Board grade. Double wall and higher ECT ratings use more and heavier board than single-wall 32 ECT.
- Size. Large boxes use more board per unit; right-sizing also cuts what carriers charge you in dimensional weight.
- Print coverage. A one- or two-color logo costs less than full-color print on every panel.
- Quantity. The unit price falls steeply as quantity rises.
- Extras. Inserts, dividers, tear strips and handholds each add to the unit price.
Send your size, quantity and artwork through the quick quote form for a firm price within 24 hours.
Choosing the right strength
Box strength is usually specified by Edge Crush Test (ECT): 32 ECT single wall suits most e-commerce products up to about 40 lb, while heavier products, stacked pallets and fragile goods move up to 44 ECT, 48 ECT or double wall. Tell us the product weight, how it ships and how high it stacks, and we recommend the lightest board that protects it.
Shipping costs and sizing
- Right-sized boxes reduce the dimensional-weight charges carriers bill on large, light parcels
- We size to your product plus the insert or void fill you use
- Amazon FBA cartons can be sized to Amazon limits, currently 25 inches per side and 50 lb for most shipments
- Every box ships flat to save your storage space
How ordering works
- Send your specs. Product size, quantity and artwork (or just a logo). A packaging specialist replies with a firm quote within 24 hours.
- Approve the proof. We send a dieline and a 3D proof so you can see the box before it is made.
- Production. 8–12 business days in our own facility, or 5 days on rush.
- Delivery. Boxes ship flat to you anywhere in the USA, free of charge.
Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom shipping boxes?+
10 boxes in any size and board grade.
Which board strength do I need?+
Most products up to about 40 lb ship well in 32 ECT single wall. Heavier, fragile or stacked loads need 44 ECT, 48 ECT or double wall. Send us the weight and we will recommend the right grade.
Can you print on the inside of shipping boxes?+
Yes. Inside print is popular on mailers and premium shippers, and adds a second print pass.
Are your shipping boxes recyclable?+
Yes. Corrugated cardboard is one of the most widely recycled materials, and water-based inks keep it that way.
