Material Guide: What Goes Into Custom Boxes?

Custom packaging concerns the content behind the package, not only the appearance. At The Custom Boxes, we use premium materials catered to brand style, environmental goals, and product needs. We have the ideal base material for whatever your need—strength, sustainability, or upscale presentation.

Our most relied upon packaging materials are given below: 

1. Cardboard: The all-rounder

The most often used packaging material is cardboard. Though light, it provides excellent protection without adding weight.

The reasons behind the popularity:

• Perfect for printing and personal finishing touches.
• Economical for low and high volume.
• Versatile for retail, cosmetics, clothing, and more.

Based on product weight and design complexity, we provide single-layer and multilayer cardboard solutions.

2. Corrugated: Designed For Protection And Shipping

Custom printed shipping boxes, subscription packing, and e-commerce deliveries call for corrugated material most of the time. Extra strength and shock resistance come from its fluted inside layers.

The reasons behind the popularity:

• Ideal for either delicate or heavy goods.
• Great for mailers and transportation packaging.
• Custom inserts for safe product location.

To fit certain packaging requirements, we provide several flute types: E, B, C, and double-wall.

• Food packaging using food-safe coatings.
• Brown box designs and minimalist branding.
• It looks great with white ink or black logos, is recyclable, and biodegradable.

4. Rigid Cardboard: The Superior Choice

All about elegance and durability is rigid cardboard. Custom printed rigid boxes, unlike folding cartons, do not collapse. High-end packaging uses these boxes when the unboxing experience counts most.

The reasons behind the popularity:

• Premium presents, electronics, and jewelry.
• Desktop-style packaging and magnetic closure boxes.
• Embossing, debossing, and velvet linings.

Usually between 36 and 120 pt thick, these boxes provide unparalleled structural integrity and aesthetic appeal.

• We have you covered whether you prefer monochrome or full-color photo printing. 

The personality of your brand, typefaces, colors, voice, should be constant on packaging. We use style guidelines and branding templates to help lock that in.

4. Seasonal or Campaign-Based Customization

Would you like to boost Christmas sales? Or start a limited-edition product line. Your quiet and smart weapon is seasonal packaging. 

• Holiday boxes. 
• Spring campaign packaging. 
• Designs with Halloween inspiration. 
• Valentine's Day gift box ideas.

For campaigns using limited-edition finishes, seasonal colors, and festive inserts, we design unique runs. They are great for raising buyer urgency and exposure. 

5. Unboxing Experience: The Wonderful Factor

Unboxing is a moment worth crafting in these days of social media.

• Thank you cards, QR codes, tissue wrapping, fragrant inserts, or interior printing,  all add delight. 
• Among our choices are custom dividers, window cutouts, pull tabs, and magnetic closures.

These little touches have a significant effect. They boost brand love and shareability.

6. Typography That Communicates Clearly

Fonts are important to grab the attention of consumers. They define your brand as either playful, businesslike, opulent, or environmentally responsible.

• We help you choose readable, neat typefaces suitable for different product categories.

Printing Techniques That Make Your Custom Boxes Stand Out

Printing is your first impression when it comes to packaging. It is not just decoration. Innovative printing techniques enhance branding, value, and transform simple boxes into effective marketing tools.

Our innovative, professional-grade printing methods at The Custom Boxes fit your budget, brand style, and product needs. We have you covered whether your tastes are for striking metallics, premium fabrics, or bold graphics. The most often used printing techniques we use for custom printed boxes are given below:

1. Offset Printing

Often known as lithographic printing, this is the gold standard for premium, high-volume packaging. 

• Creates clear, vivid images. 
• Perfect for detailed artwork and color constancy. 
• Ideal for big orders, lower cost per unit, and best matched. 

For retail packaging, cosmetics, and food boxes that require sharp, full-color graphics, we recommend offset printing.

2. Digital Printing

It is ideal for quick runs or when you need flexible printing. Digital uses CMYK colors straight from the file instead of printing plates. 

• Low initial cost of setup.
• Fast turnaround. 
• Perfect for custom messages or small batch testing.

For personalized packaging, test runs, or short seasonal promotions, choose digital printing.

3. Flexographic Printing

Speed and adaptability of flexo printing are well-known. It is fantastic for printing on tougher materials like corrugated boxes. It uses flexible rubber plates. 

• Affordable for long runs.
• Works on kraft, cardboard, and corrugated stock.
• Perfect for either one- or two-color designs.

Mailer cartons, shipping boxes, and e-commerce packaging all use flexographic printing extensively.

4. UV Printing

Durability and luxury define UV printing most of all. It produces a glossy, high-contrast appearance by rapidly drying the ink under UV light.

• Fade-resistant and smear-proof.
• Works best with textured materials and dark tones. 
• Adds a sophisticated, high-end attractiveness.

Rigid boxes, electronics, and luxury goods packaging all use UV printing.

5. Embossing & Debossing

These methods imprint your custom box surface either recessed (debossed) or raised (embossed). They introduce class and tactile depth.

• No need for any ink. Texture is everything.
• Perfect for logos, taglines, or simple designs. 
• Provides a luxury look and feel.

For best elegance, we usually combine embossing with foil stamping or spot UV.

6. Foil Stamping

Heat is applied in foil stamping, sometimes known as hot foil printing, to press a thin metallic foil onto your custom box. This is perfect for luxury branding. 

• Found in gold, silver, rose gold, holographic, and more. 
• Striking and upscale.
• Perfect for cosmetics, jewels, gifts, and upscale CBD boxes.

Emphasize your brand, product name, or distinctive details with foil stamping.

7. Spot UV Coating

Spot UV is putting a glossy, shiny coating on particular regions of your design, say your logo or a graphic element, while the rest stays matte. 

• Creates contrast between shiny and flat areas. 
• Durable and scratch-resistant. 
• Appears contemporary and elegant.

We use Spot UV to provide your boxes just the right amount of glitter without overdoing it.

Make A Lasting First Impression With Expert Printing

Your print of the packaging is the handshake before the sale. It communicates volumes about your brand's excellence and shapes expectations. For any type of product, we have the appropriate printing technique, whether your preferences call for metallic sheen, textured surfaces, or intense colors.
