Custom Printed Shipping Boxes
Custom printed shipping boxes are corrugated mailers and cartons made to your size and printed with your artwork, so the box that carries an order also introduces the brand. Send your size, quantity and artwork, and we will quote printed mailers or shipping cartons that fit.
- Full-color print inside or out
- Gloss or matte finish
- Quoted to your size
What custom printed shipping boxes are
Custom printed shipping boxes are corrugated boxes made to your dimensions and printed with your artwork, so the box that protects an order also introduces the product. They suit brands that ship direct to customers and want branded shipping boxes that look the same on every doorstep.
Print usually comes from one of two routes. Ink can be printed straight onto the corrugated board, which works well for bold, simpler designs. For detailed full-color artwork, a separately printed sheet can be laminated onto the board instead; see litho laminated boxes. Finish can be gloss or matte, and print can run on the outside, the inside or both.

Custom shipping boxes: printed mailers and corrugated cartons
Most custom shipping boxes fall into two families: lighter printed mailers that open like a gift, and custom corrugated boxes built for heavier loads.
Custom printed corrugated boxes
Corrugated shipping cartons for heavier products, multi-unit orders or boxes that travel through a warehouse before delivery, printed so the carton still represents you on arrival.
Kits and subscription programs
Boxes sized around a set of items, such as a test kit, a supplement bundle or a monthly subscription, so everything arrives organized and the box looks the same every time.
Other printed box styles we supply
Not every product ships in a mailer. We also supply printed tuck cartons for retail and shelf presentation, and rigid kit boxes with foam inserts for vials, devices and premium sets. Tell us how your product is sold and we will point you to the right style.

Custom printed shipping box questions
What styles of custom printed shipping boxes do you supply?
We supply custom printed mailer boxes on E-flute corrugated and printed corrugated shipping cartons for heavier or multi-unit orders. We also supply tuck cartons and rigid kit boxes. Tell us what you ship and how it reaches the customer, and we will suggest the styles that fit your program.
Can boxes be printed inside and out?
Yes. When you request a quote, tell us whether you need print on the outside only, the inside only, or both, and whether you prefer a gloss or matte finish. Inside print is a popular choice for mailers because the customer sees it as soon as the lid opens.
What should I send for a quote?
Send the inside dimensions or the product size, your preferred style, the quantity you are planning and your delivery ZIP. Attach your artwork if it is ready, or tell us it is still in progress. Pricing and order details are confirmed in your quote rather than published on this page.
What happens after I request a quote?
We look over your box size, quantity, style and artwork, then reply with the printed box options that fit your project and what they cost. If your artwork is still in progress, we can start from your dimensions and quantity and add the artwork once it is ready.
Can I add gel packs for shipping to the same quote?
Yes. One quote covers the printed mailer, a liner or EPS shipper, and the gel packs. Share the box size, how each order is packed and the quantity you need, and we will quote the printed boxes and gel packs together in one conversation.
