Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to get a package designed?

The design timeline for your custom packaging depends on the complexity of your vision and whether a unique template (die-cut) is required. Typically, you can expect to see your initial layout and design concepts within 3-5 business days. Our expert design team works efficiently to bring your ideas to life.

What information do you typically need from me to start a custom packaging project?

To craft personalized product packaging that not only looks fantastic but also functions flawlessly and aligns perfectly with your brand, we'll need to discuss a few key areas:

Brand Guidelines:

• High-resolution logo files (AI, EPS, PNG are ideal)
• Precise brand colors (Pantone, HEX, or RGB codes for accuracy)
• Preferred fonts and typography
• Any specific visual elements, patterns, or photography styles integral to your brand's identity

Product Information:

• Accurate product dimensions (length, width, height), shape, and weight
• Any essential details like regulatory labels, ingredient listings, or instructions that must appear on the packaging
• Desired packaging quantity (e.g., for single items versus bulk packs)

Packaging Functionality:

• Specific packaging type required (e.g., custom mailer boxes, pouches, custom shipping boxes, bags, or specialized inserts)
• Any unique features needed, such as tamper-evident seals, resealable components, waterproofing, or temperature resistance for shipping

Budget & Timeline:

• Your overall budget for packaging design and production
• Your desired production deadlines

Gathering this comprehensive information allows us to design a bespoke packaging solution that is truly effective, on-brand, and perfectly purposeful for your target audience.

What is branded e-commerce packaging and why is it important for my business?

Branded e-commerce packaging goes beyond simple protection. It includes customized boxes, mailers, and even accessories like custom tape or branded tissue paper that vividly reflect your unique brand identity. This is crucial because it significantly boosts brand recognition, creates an unforgettable unboxing experience, and actively encourages customers to share their excitement on social media. Ultimately, it transforms your packaging into a powerful marketing and sales tool, differentiating you from competitors.

Can I order eco-friendly custom printed boxes in Canada?

Absolutely. We are committed to offering sustainable custom packaging options that align with your environmental values. This includes a range of eco-friendly custom printed boxes and mailers, such as recyclable kraft mailers and other biodegradable alternatives. Opting for these solutions is perfect for businesses aiming to reduce their environmental footprint while maintaining a strong, consistent brand presence.

Can I order your customized packaging in small quantities?

Absolutely. We understand the unique needs of small business packaging. While our minimum order quantities help us maintain premium quality and competitive pricing, we strive to make custom packaging accessible:

Custom Poly Mailers: Minimum order quantity starts at 2,000 units
Custom Mailer Boxes & Custom Shipping Boxes: Minimum order quantity starts at 350 units

These thresholds are set to ensure you receive high-quality, durable, and cost-efficient branded e-commerce packaging.

Do you offer custom sizes for your packaging?

Yes, we specialize in providing fully custom sizes for all our corrugated mailer boxes, shipping boxes, and other packaging. Simply provide your product's precise dimensions (size, shape, and weight), and our team will engineer a tailored packaging solution that perfectly fits your items, optimizes protection, and aligns with your budget.

How much does custom packaging cost?

The cost of your custom packaging is dynamic and depends on several factors: the required order volume, the specific packaging type, its size, and the complexity of your design and customization. We offer better discounts at higher purchase volumes, making custom solutions increasingly cost-effective as your business grows.
