In the case of Internet orders, your box is the first thing your customer touches. It has to go through sorting centers, delivery trucks and porches, and be pleasing to the eye when you open it.
Today, custom ecommerce packaging is here to tackle the task, and it does a stellar job at it.
From 10 orders a week to 10,000 orders, we create eCommerce boxes and flexible packaging that is sized, built and printed around your product. A successful package does a little magic work for your brand; it’s so special that your customers will remember your brand and share that with others.
The format will differ with the item you’re selling, fragility of the item being sold, how you are shipping the item, etc. Combining is a common method used by most online brands, so it’s beneficial to know which combinations are effective and which are not.
| Packaging Type | Best For |
| Mailer boxes | Cosmetics, clothes, gifts and subscription boxes require a cool unboxing experience.Cosmetics, clothes, gifts, and subscription boxes which need an “unboxing” experience. |
| Corrugated shipping boxes | Items which are heavy, fragile, large and are likely to be rough handled. |
| Mylar bags | Protected snack, food and products that require protection from air, light and moisture. |
| Poly mailers | Tops from light and non-fragile products like clothes |
| Inserts and sleeves | Products locked in place and detail branded in the box. |
Many sellers don’t realize the importance of house size. If it is oversized, there may be wasted space, additional shipping costs, and it can be damaged if it is undersized. Custom Bubble Mailers sizes allow you to create the box for your actual product, rather than the product fitting into the box.
These can be combined with custom product boxes and custom retail packages, giving the brand a consistent look on all channels, including ecommerce and retail.
The corrugated board is the most common material used for most ecommerce boxes, as there’s real strength needed to ship them. There are weight saving E-flute and B-flute options available that provide protection. Lighter or premium products may be made of Kraft paperboard or SBS.
For sustainability brands there are options for recyclability and sustainability and for bakery or food retailers there are options for food contact safety. Orders placed are flexible and can be placed in either multi-layer mylar or poly, whichever is preferable to be a barrier layer or lightweight mailer.
Looks good but no good if the first time a package is dropped. These are the traits which help you to retain your print copy.
| Feature | Benefit |
| Corrugated construction | Withstands the impact without being crushed during shipping |
| E-flute and B-flute | High strength, low weight and easy to ship. |
| Kraft paperboard | Natural appearance with reliable common use durability. |

Your brand is immediately visible to the viewer before they even open your box with printed ecommerce packaging! This will depend on your order size and artwork, and will be able to advise you on this after we have an understanding of your quantities.
| Printing Method | Best For |
| Digital | Smaller lot sizes, complex design, quick delivery and trying new designs. |
| Offset | Larger orders where you require the colour to be consistent on each and every unit. |
| Flexographic | Commonly, tubes are used in simple run off designs, such as corrugations.For the traditional simpler designs, bulk runs have been used to carry out the design with tubes. |
Full colour CMYK printing is perfect for creating artwork with a lot of colour and detail. Repeat orders will always be a match to the same brand with Pantone and custom color matching.
Stock boxes get the job done. Custom ones do more.
The boxes for ecommerce can be customized with different sizes, materials, printing, finishing and interior designs. There will also be a design proof, prior to printing.
You can’t use the same packaging in all industries and for online sales, it can’t be the same either. This is where ecommerce boxes are employed the most:
The entry-level order is 100 boxes, which means that startups and small shops won’t be ordering too much. The greater the volumes, the better the ecommerce packaging wholesale prices.Larger customers are a natural fit for ecommerce packaging wholesale pricing, as there is a direct correlation.
Looking for an idea to get your creative juices flowing? Samples will be available (some conditions apply) prior to bulk orders. Rush production is also available if there is a critical date of a launch.
Some brands start small and create new orders when they notice their sales are rising. The environment can be expanded on physical shelves and retail display boxes can be arranged to further enhance the look; it’s simple to scale up in reorder size and design.
You will find it easier to order when you have the dimensions of your item, and include any padding.
