Key Features
Custom Shipping Boxes — Brand Every Delivery, Protect Every Product
Every product you ship is an opportunity to reinforce your brand — and a standard brown box wastes that opportunity completely. Custom shipping boxes turn every delivery into a brand statement: your colors, your logo, your messaging on the box that arrives at your customer's door. Branded Boxes produces custom shipping boxes for e-commerce, retail distribution, and direct-to-consumer brands who understand that packaging is marketing.
Our shipping boxes are ECT-rated to the appropriate stacking strength for your product weight and distribution environment. We select B-flute, C-flute, BC double-wall, or E-flute construction based on your specific requirements and help you optimize dimensions to minimize carrier dimensional weight charges.
Shipping Box as Brand Touchpoint
The delivery moment is the brand touchpoint with the highest emotional stakes — your customer has been anticipating this delivery, and when it arrives, their first impression is your packaging. A custom-printed shipping box signals that a quality product is inside before it is even opened. The visible brand presence on the exterior of the box also markets your brand to everyone who sees it during delivery — carriers, neighbors, building staff, and the customer themselves.
Corrugated Grade Selection for Shipping Performance
Choosing the right corrugated grade ensures your products survive transit without paying for more protection than necessary. B-flute handles most consumer products up to 20 lbs efficiently. C-flute provides more stacking strength for heavier products. Double-wall BC-flute handles heavy, fragile, or high-value products requiring maximum protection. E-flute provides a premium print surface for lightweight products where graphic quality is the priority.

Shipping Boxes in Norfolk — FAQs
How do I choose the right corrugated grade for my shipping boxes?
Select based on product weight, fragility, and distribution environment. B-flute (32 ECT) handles most consumer products up to 20 lbs in standard e-commerce channels. Fragile or heavy products need C-flute or double-wall. We recommend grades based on your specific product and distribution requirements.
Can custom shipping boxes reduce my carrier costs?
Yes. DIM weight optimization — sizing your shipping box to minimize void space around your product — reduces dimensional weight carrier charges that can significantly exceed actual weight charges for lightweight products in oversized boxes.
What printing method is used for custom shipping boxes?
Flexographic printing for runs of 500+ units delivers consistent brand color at low unit cost. Digital printing for runs under 500 units eliminates plate tooling costs and enables short-run and variable data production.
Can shipping boxes include inside printing?
Yes. Inside printing creates an unboxing experience that extends brand presence to the reveal moment. It is particularly effective for DTC brands where the unboxing moment is a core product experience.
What is the minimum order for custom shipping boxes?
Custom shipping boxes start at 50 units with digital printing. Flexographic printing is available from 500 units.
