Is there a minimum or maximum quantity for this product?

We offer boxes with many options for size, output type and stock, which will affect the minimum or maximum quantity we would offer. A small quantity order will likely need to be produced Digital Output (less than 1000), while larger quantity orders will need to be produced Offset Output. All box order requests are reviewed by a print specialist who will be able to supply this information based on your other requirements, or can give you box options based on the quantity that you need produced.

Are there any size restrictions?

We can produce boxes in a wide variety of sizes from small to large. The size will be restricted by the stock and print output used. Smaller sized boxes up to 13" x 19" flat will have more options for stock. The larger your box size is, the fewer stock options we will have available.

What closure styles are there for boxes?

There are three main styles for the closure of box products: Fitted slits (die-cut), a separate larger lid piece to bottom piece, or mounted velcro. If you are looking for a different style of box closure let us know - we are able to accommodate most custom requests.

What stocks are available for boxes?

We have a wide variety of stock options available, however these are limited to the unassembled (flat sheet) size of your box shape, as well as the output type. Typically a 10pt cardstock is the thinnest we recommend for box products. Digital Output orders can use cardstock up to 20pt thick, with some coating restrictions. If you are interested in a thicker option, you can request cardboard to be used. We also offer a Mega Thick 24pt Uncoated stock.

What is the turnaround time?

The turnaround time for a box product will vary depending on the specific product, output type, quantity and any specialty add-ons.

The fastest regular turnaround time will be for small quantity Digital Output orders using one of our pre-made Small Box templates - this will be a 3-5 business day estimated timeline for production.

Offset Output products will have a production time of 10+ business days. Other details that can extend the turnaround time will be very large quantities, Digital Output orders that require a sheet size larger than 13" x 19", the creation of a custom shaped box, or speciality add-ons like foil.

Our Estimators will include a turnaround time estimate with the quote for your request product. Rush options may be available, so if you have a critical deadline for your box order, please indicate this within your Print Quote request.

Are your boxes FDA approved?

Our boxes themselves are not FDA approved, however you can request FDA approved wax paper to be supplied separately

All of the Mini Boxes close with flaps, either on the top or on the side (Pillow Box). Some boxes also use adhesive inside the box to help hold it together. This assembly will be done as part of production, so the Mini Box order will come already partially assembled. It will be folded flat for packaging and shipping purposes, requiring some slight assembly to be done by the customer at home.

We have 4 styles of pre-made box templates available for Mini Boxes: Cube Box (3 sizes), Gift Box, Pillow Box, and Rectangular Box (2 sizes).

The boxes will be fully assembled by our Production Team, but your design will need to be set up on the flat die-line.
