Custom packaging questions
What custom packaging does Gelpax quote?
We quote custom printed shipping boxes and mailers, litho laminated boxes, tuck boxes, rigid and magnetic boxes, foam inserts, subscription boxes, counter display boxes and wine shipping boxes. We also supply gel packs for shipping, insulated liners and EPS shippers, so the packaging and the cold side of a shipment can be quoted together.
Which box type should I choose?
Start with how the product reaches the customer. Orders that ship direct usually go in a printed mailer or shipping carton. Single products on a shelf suit a tuck box. Kits and gifts that get kept suit a rigid or magnetic box. Tell us what you sell and we will suggest a type in your quote.
Can I get one quote for boxes, inserts and gel packs?
Yes. Send the box size, what goes inside, how each order is packed and the quantity you need. One quote covers the printed mailer, the insert, a liner or EPS shipper, and the gel packs, so you deal with one contact for the whole shipment.
Do you publish prices or minimums?
No. Pricing and order details depend on the box type, size, print and quantity, so they are confirmed in your quote rather than published on the site. Send the details you have, even if the program is still taking shape, and we will reply with the options and cost.
Where do quotes come from?
Quotes come from our team in Grapevine, Texas. We review your box size, quantity, artwork and pack-out, then reply with the packaging options we can supply and what they cost. If your artwork is not ready yet, we can start from your dimensions and quantity.
