Pricing depends on box size, board grade, printing, quantity, tooling, and delivery. We also look for ways to lower your total packaging cost, such as right-sizing boxes or changing board grades. A free packaging audit is a good place to start. You can also read our guide to packaging costs.

Printed or die-cut boxes usually need one-time tooling, such as printing plates or cutting dies. Plain boxes often do not. If you already have quality tooling from another supplier, we can often transfer it, so you do not pay for new tooling.

Standard orders ship in 4 to 7 business days. First orders that need new tooling take 8 to 10 business days. Triple wall ships in 3 to 4 weeks, compared with the industry average of 6 to 12 weeks.
