Starting a business is difficult for many reasons such as cost, location, availability, supply and demand, etc. The last thing you need to worry about is a customer not liking the way your product boxes look, so to take your career a step further, get custom product boxes. Then, having decided that he wants to use personalized boxes to send to his customers, he realizes that he doesn’t know how to do it. Well, below I’ll provide you with an outline on how to make sure your custom product boxes turn out exactly the way you want them to. Following these steps will ensure your happiness and the happiness of your customers.
It’s all about the design
Of course, the first step is to choose the type of packaging you want. Currently, in the industry, there are about four types of packaging that most people choose to use.
– Rigid Envelopes
– Postal boxes
– Custom mailing envelopes
– Bubble envelopes (padded)
package printing
Once you have chosen what type of package you want to use, the next step is to decide what type of printer you would like to use. There are three main types of printers used.
– Flexographic printing
– Digital printing
– Lithographic printing of labels
Size Matters
After choosing the type of print you want to use, the next step is to choose a size for the box. The most common sizes used are “8 x 8 x 4”, “10 x 6 x 4”, “9 x 6 x 3”. Choosing the right pack size is key because you want to make sure it fits your product like a glove. USPS is usually the most popular shipping way, their prices are based on volume. To calculate the volume from the cubic rate all you need is the formula “length x width x height/ 1728”. The cubic fee greatly affects the price due to shipping.
Be creative
Next, you have to choose a design. This is where you can showcase what makes your store different from the rest. Remember that you can only be as creative as your manufacturer, so do a lot of research on the manufacturer beforehand. This is where you can choose the colors, fonts, and logos you’d like to display on your box. Make sure you have a sample box printed, so you know what product you are going to receive.
marry your maker
Choosing a builder is like choosing a best friend. Your manufacturer will be with you through the rest of the entire process, so it’s critical that you choose the right one. Rent rent rent! Getting a manufacturer that is close to you helps reduce shipping cost and freight cost. Always remember to ask about quotes and delivery and production time.
Order and Price
Once you’ve chosen your new best friend or manufacturer, the last and final step is to place an order and get the total price. The average is usually less than $2 per box, but it is possible to negotiate the price with your manufacturer.
These are the steps to create and order your personalized boxes. Good luck!
