Retail Boxes

Package Your Product in a Box That Sells

A shopper picks up the box before the product, so the box has to protect what is inside and sell it at the same time. Boxing a candle, a serum, a snack or a gift set? Your logo, colors and product story go across the printed face. Cube, magnet and pillow boxes are on custom box printing.

Here is a useful quirk of the ladder: 500 boxes cost the same $711.78 as 250, so the second 250 are free of extra charge. A 1,000-box run is $797.02. The tiers below show each total.

What Size Should a Retail Box Be

The 5" x 7" x 1.7" box is the shallow one, for flatter items like a folded garment, a booklet or a set of accessories. The 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625" is a deeper near-square for bottles, jars, candles or bundled goods. Smaller or rounder item? The Golf Ball Boxes and Pillow Boxes are two more shapes in the same family. The panel below lists the material and proof choices.

Setting up your file? Download the blank retail box template for your size, a press-ready dieline with the fold lines, bleed and safe margins drawn in, so the artwork wraps each panel the right way.

Uncoated or Gloss Board

The 14pt uncoated cover has a natural matte surface that takes a stamp and suits an understated brand. The 18pt cover is the heavier board, holds its shape when shoppers pick it up and put it back, and its gloss side makes color and product photos stand out under store lights.

How Much Do Retail Boxes Cost

A run of 5,000 comes to $2,231.42, near $0.45 a box, and 25,000 land at $9,146.26. The list below shows each step with the price of one box.

Wally boxes it up so it sells itself

Retail boxes start at $711.78 for 250, and the per-box cost keeps dropping toward $0.37 as you scale to 25,000. Pick a stock size or go custom up to 6 by 7 inch, choose your material, and print full color on the front. Wally gets your product into a box that sells from the shelf.

How Are Retail Boxes Proofed and Produced

Choose a free online proof to review a digital version of your box before it goes to press, or send it straight to production when the file has already been through a round. Production takes 7 business days, printed in-house in New York, with no rush speed, and you upload print-ready art as a PDF, JPG or PNG.

What Do Businesses Use Retail Boxes For

Beauty brands box serums and creams, chandlers pack candles in the deeper square, food makers box teas and chocolates, and online shops turn a plain shipment into an unboxing. The full print product range has labels, hang tags and tissue for the same product.
