The packaging industry has a dirty secret: most "custom" packaging companies are middlemen. They take your order, send it to the same factories everyone else uses, and mark it up 40-60%. We work directly with our manufacturing partners and pass those savings to you. For related packaging needs, explore our vape boxes.
Here's what that means in practice:
- Lower prices. Without the middleman markup, our corrugated ecommerce boxes typically cost 20-35% less than competitors at the same quality level.
- Real customization. Any size, any shape, any finish. We don't limit you to pre-set templates.
- Material variety. Kraft, SBS, corrugated, rigid board - plus specialty options like holographic, textured, and metallic stocks.
- Small batch friendly. 100 unit minimum. Test a design before committing to thousands.
Materials and Specifications
Choosing the right material is half the battle with corrugated ecommerce boxes. Here's a quick breakdown of what works for different use cases:
Kraft paperboard (300-400 GSM) gives you that natural, eco-friendl For related packaging needs, explore our cosmetic packaging.y look that consumers love. It's strong enough for most retail products and costs less than coated stocks. Best for: artisan brands, organic products, subscription boxes.
SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) is the premium choice. Bright white surface that takes print beautifully, smooth finish, excellent for high-end retail. 280-400 GSM depending on product weight. Best for: cosmetics, luxury goods, food packaging.
Corrugated board (E-flute or B-flute) adds serious structural protection. E-flute is thinner (about 1.5mm) and great for mailer boxes. B-flute (about 3mm) handles heavier items. Best for: e-commerce shipping, fragile products, stacking needs.
Rigid board (1000-2000 GSM) is the luxury option. Thick, sturdy, won't flex. Used for phones, jewelry, premium spirits. More expensive per unit, but the unboxing experience is unmatched.

- Spot UV coating adds a glossy, raised effect to specific elements (logos, text, patterns). Creates contrast against matte backgrounds.
- Foil stamping in gold, silver, rose gold, or custom Pantone metallic colors. Hot foil for sharp detail, cold foil for larger coverage areas.
- Embossing/debossing creates a raised or recessed texture. Combine with foil for a premium look.
- Soft-touch lamination gives a velvety, matte feel. Popular for luxury and cosmetic packaging.
- Window patches let customers see the product inside. Die-cut openings with clear PET film.
