Request printed shipping cartons sized for your products and packing method. Include product weight, internal protection and delivery requirements to define the construction.
Prepare your specification
Packed weight and external constraints; cushioning; carton closure; handling requirements. These are details to provide for review, not a list of confirmed options.
Compare before you choose
For outer cartons for parcel handling, start with the intended use and the complete packed product. A similar appearance or size label does not confirm the same construction or performance.

Custom Shipping Boxes FAQ
Answers for planning your request.
How is a shipping box different from a retail carton?
The shipping box is selected for transporting the packed load. A retail carton may primarily provide product presentation and need an outer container.
Should the weight include all protective materials?
Yes. Include the product, inner packaging and cushioning when describing the load to be shipped.
Why do outside dimensions matter for a shipping carton?
They affect storage, handling and carrier size calculations. Request them after the internal fit and board construction are established. Use the format planning guide to prepare the details.
Can a shipping box replace a product insert?
Not automatically. Fragile or moving contents may require internal support even inside a suitable outer carton.
How should I specify a box for several retail units?
Provide unit dimensions, arrangement, quantity per carton and total packed weight. Include dividers or protective materials in the arrangement.
What closure information belongs in the request?
Describe taping, strapping or other intended closure and how the carton will be handled. Evaluate tape with the actual board.
Can a printed shipping carton be called weatherproof?
Do not assume that. Describe exposure conditions and ask what protection the proposed package provides; print alone is not a weather barrier.
Should an existing shipping box be copied exactly?
Use it as a reference, but check whether its load, cushioning and delivery conditions match the new order. Record its dimensions and known board details.
Should I give inside or outside box dimensions?
Inside dimensions describe usable packing space; outside dimensions affect storage and shipping. Label your measurements explicitly and include the packed item and any insert. Use the format planning guide to prepare the details.
Does a larger box always protect the product better?
Extra empty space can allow movement. Fit, cushioning, board construction and packed weight need to be considered together.
Is board thickness enough to compare two boxes?
No. Thickness alone does not describe board strength or the finished package's performance. Ask for the proposed board specification and evaluate the packed combination.
Can I judge the board from the product photo?
A photograph shows a design example, not a verified board grade. The quote must identify the construction and material for your order.
Where should important artwork sit on a box?
Keep essential text away from folds, cuts and glued areas using the final dieline. A panel that looks flat on screen may wrap around an edge.
Should an insert be included in the box measurements?
Yes. Measure the complete arrangement with its insert or cushioning. Share how the item is held and removed, not just the bare product dimensions. Use the format planning guide to prepare the details.
What should I check with a physical box sample?
Check fit, assembly, closure, print-panel orientation and handling with the actual contents. A sample without your product cannot establish transit performance.
Which guide helps me compare box formats?
Use the box format comparison to distinguish presentation packaging from an outer shipping container.
What should I include when requesting custom shipping boxes?
For outer cartons for parcel handling, include packed weight and external constraints; cushioning; carton closure; handling requirements. Add quantities per design and delivery ZIP. Use the quote checklist to organize your request.
Are the listed options confirmed production specifications for custom shipping boxes?
The configurator is a starting point for outer cartons for parcel handling. The final quote must identify the chosen construction, dimensions, print and any accessories before approval.
How do quantity and artwork affect my custom shipping boxes quote?
List quantities for each design and specify packed weight and external constraints. The proposed construction and print setup determine the available quantities and price; the form does not establish a minimum.
How do I move from a custom shipping boxes request to approved artwork?
First confirm the specification for outer cartons for parcel handling; then prepare the correct layout using the artwork guide. Review pricing, proof arrangements and delivery timing before committing.
