Custom Shipping Boxes

Shipping Boxes are the Smarter, Sturdier Way to Ship Larger Products

With online retail and ordering hitting an all-time high under current circumstances, businesses really need to consider smart and sustainable solutions when it comes to shipping boxes that can carry their products reliably to their customers.

For that, Packola offers the best possible solution to deliver your products safely to your customers wherever they may be. We offer custom shipping boxes that are made with high-quality materials to keep your products in top shape during transit.

Our shipping boxes are made of durable, high-quality, impact-resistant corrugated cardboard. This material protects your packages whether it’s in transit or in storage. The thick, fluted cardboard absorbs impact, minimizing scratches and dents that may otherwise damage your items. Cardboard shipping boxes do not shy away from heavy loads – these can handle packages up to 30 lbs. in weight.

Sustainability is our priority. Corrugated shipping boxes are an eco-friendly alternative to other packaging materials. Our corrugated cardboard is sustainably sourced and 100% recyclable. Use our shipping boxes to lessen your business's environmental impact.

Our easy-to-use online tool enables you to develop and design shipping boxes that not only hold up well on the road but also bolster brand recall and company reputation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: There’s a QR code printed on my custom shipping box. Is it a printing mistake?

Q: How do I know what box size I need?
A:

Start by measuring the items you want to put inside the box. You can assemble and group the products together to simulate how it would look like packed inside. Measure the length, width, and depth of the space it occupies. Add an inch or two on the sides to make it easy to pack and unpack. 

Q: Can I order a sample?
A:

Yes. For a competitive price, you can order a sample with your own artwork and dimensions. Please set Quantity to "1 sample" on the configuration widget and proceed to order. Most samples ship within 2 business days.

Q: Do you offer Free Samples?
A:

No. All samples are made to order with your own artwork and dimensions. We do not offer pre-made samples or material kits.

Q: How long will it take for my boxes to arrive?
A:

We offer Standard (10-15 business days) and Rush (6-8 business days - when available) production turnarounds. Depending on your location, Standard Shipping will take 1-6 business days once production is finished. You may also ask for Express Shipping to receive your boxes faster. If you have a tight deadline, please contact us to make sure your deadline can be met.

Q: I am a reseller. Can you waive my sales taxes?
A:

Yes, however, we need you to submit your resale certificate before placing your order. We have limited ability to refund sales taxes after an order is placed.

Q: How can I design my box?
A:

We have an Online Design Studio that makes it super easy to add logo, texts, and graphics to your box within minutes. You may also design using a professional desktop application like Adobe Illustrator® and send us a complete artwork.

A:

No. You may cover your box with as many colors as you want at no extra charge.

Q: Are shipping boxes reusable?
A:

Yes, our shipping boxes can be reused, repurposed, and recycled. We recommend upcycling the boxes in-house and not using them to ship products again to customers.  

Q: What is an RSC Box?
A:

RSC stands for regular slotted container. It is the most common box style for shipping and storage boxes. It’s characterized by two outer flaps that meet at the center and needs to be sealed with packaging tape. 

Q: What is an FOL Box?
A:

FOL stands for full overlap box. The flaps of the box extend all the way to the opposite side. This adds extra padding and increases durability and protection.

Appreciate the support
My box looks wonderful, thank you so much. I had issues with the editing process, but in the end it worked out fine. Customer service helped me out each step of the way, even providing me with a design element when mine wasn't sufficient. I appreciate the level of the support. You all definitely have my business.

Great Product! Fast Delivery!
Great Product! Fast Delivery! I highly recommend. The box were made to our exact specifications. We did not have to choose from a stock size, or pay any special die fees. Excellent! Packola is from now on our preferred choice for packaging. Thank You Packola!

First Job with Packola…
I am a print broker and first-time Packola customer. I needed 800 boxes for a client to ship client Christmas gifts. They needed in 10 days or less, and they were still working on artwork. Packola not only turned the job around and delivered FOUR DAYS early, but they were able to add 80 additional boxes to the order in mid production and STILL get the job to me early. No hidden fees or tricky billing. Totally easy and I am skeptical of online production orders of this size. Packola has earned my trust and I recommend them highly.
HJV
WOW - both the staff and the boxes!
The staff at Packola are professional and helpful. Having never had the need for shipping boxes, their expertise and support were greatly appreciated. The finished product not only met our needs but presented our organization in a way we had never imagined. The WOW factor of a custom shipping container cannot be underestimated
Jacquie
I placed an order for a Sample Shipper…
I placed an order for a Sample Shipper Box that was branded inside and out. It came out BEAUTIFUL! Exactly what I was hoping for. Just reordered in a larger quantity and I'm designing another box today for a different product line. The quality of the box and the printing are just wonderful. I couldn't be happier with my order.

We had a great experience working with Packola! We had a handful of questions that were answered well by customer service and we are very happy with the quality of the boxes we received!

Excellent finished product
Working with Packola has been a wonderful experience. I needed boxes that were functional for shipping yet also professional. The end product far exceeded my expectations. I will absolutely use them again for my business.

Corrugated Shipping Boxes vs. Cardboard Boxes

When should you use corrugated shipping boxes over regular cardboard? The biggest consideration is size and weight. Corrugated cardboard can hold hefty packages better than cardboard, even if a liner is used. The cardstock for product boxes is close to the thickness of a credit card, whereas corrugated cardboard is much thicker and is made up of three layers.

If you’re transporting heavy or large items, such as appliances and electronics, it’s better to go for a corrugated cardboard box. If you need a box for small and light items, such as pens, perfumes, or other cosmetic items, a cardboard box is best.

How to Use Corrugated Shipping Boxes

Because of its lightness and strength, corrugated cardboard boxes offer a lot of utility. For businesses, these can be used to transport inventory from the warehouse to retail stores. You can also use branded shipping boxes as tertiary packaging, protecting the boxed product while it’s on its way to customers. Since these are lightweight, you don't have to worry about exorbitant shipping fees, too.

Superb Uses for Shipping Boxes

  • Wine Boxes – Whether you’re selling homemade brews or subscription boxes you’ve curated, a sturdy box is as crucial as the wine’s vintage. Bottled items are heavy so box strength is extremely important. Our shipping boxes can handle heavy loads, especially when paired with packaging tape.
  • Clothing & Apparel Boxes - Shipping boxes are ideal for sending multiple articles of clothing. It’s more economical as opposed to using separate packaging for each product and minimizes the risk of other items getting lost in the mail. Using a big box also lets you have space to include giveaways and freebies such as custom stickers.
  • Toy Packaging Boxes – Toys and games can have a lot of components and delicate parts. Use a durable and lightweight shipping box to package your playthings. The impact resistance ensures the items inside won’t get damaged while it’s in transit.
  • Tertiary Packaging – You can use shipping boxes to augment your primary or secondary packaging, such as big subscription boxes. Doing so protects the products inside, making it more presentable while furthering the unboxing experience at the same time.
