Question

What's the minimum order for custom shipping boxes?

Answer

Minimum order quantities for custom shipping boxes depend mainly on the printing method, since each method has different setup requirements.

Printing methodTypical minimum
Digital printing25-50 boxes
Flexographic printing250-500 boxes
  • Digital printing suits small runs and design testing with no plates.
  • Flexographic printing lowers per-unit cost at higher volumes but needs plate setup.
  • For very small quantities, custom labels or stickers on plain boxes are a cost-effective alternative while you test designs.
