Why Choose Our Shipping Boxes
Custom Shipping Boxes That Protect Products and Market Your Brand
Every corrugated shipping box that leaves your facility is a brand impression — on the carrier's van, on your customer's doorstep, in the customer's hands at the unboxing moment. Branded Boxes produces custom shipping boxes that protect products through the full supply chain while turning every delivery into a brand statement. Our shipping boxes are ECT-rated to the appropriate stacking strength for your product weight and distribution environment.
Shipping Box Styles and Constructions
We produce Regular Slotted Containers (RSC) as the workhorse e-commerce format, Half Slotted Containers (HSC) for products that require top-loading access, and die-cut self-locking boxes for premium unboxing experiences. Each style is available in B-flute, C-flute, BC double-wall, and ECT-rated configurations. Custom interior dimensions minimize void fill and reduce dimensional weight charges from carriers.
Branded Shipping Box Benefits
- Free advertising from warehouse to doorstep
- Customer recognition at the delivery moment
- Reduced product damage claims
- Lower void fill requirements with snug-fit dimensions
- Enhanced unboxing experience driving social sharing
Optimizing Shipping Box Dimensions for Carrier Costs
Carriers charge based on dimensional weight (DIM weight) as well as actual weight — oversized boxes with excessive void space are charged at their dimensional weight, which can be significantly higher than actual product weight. We help brands optimize their shipping box dimensions to minimize void space and DIM weight charges while maintaining adequate product protection. The right box size can meaningfully reduce per-shipment carrier costs.
Printing Technology for Shipping Box Branding
Corrugated shipping box printing uses flexographic technology for large runs and digital printing for short runs and variable data. Flexographic printing delivers bold, consistent brand graphics at low cost per unit on production runs of 500+. Digital printing enables personalization, variable data, and short runs from 50 units without plate tooling costs. Both technologies produce high-quality results appropriate for brand-forward shipping boxes.
Custom Packaging for South Dakota Businesses
South Dakota's economy combines significant agricultural production, a major financial services sector in Sioux Falls, tourism anchored by Mount Rushmore and the Black Hills, and growing healthcare and technology sectors. The state's no income tax and business-friendly environment have attracted Citibank, Wells Fargo, and other major financial companies to Sioux Falls. Branded Boxes serves South Dakota's diverse economy with premium packaging.
Sioux Falls Business and Financial Packaging
Sioux Falls is South Dakota's largest city and a significant financial services center — credit card companies and financial institutions are major employers. Corporate packaging for Sioux Falls's financial sector and business community from 50 units.
South Dakota Agricultural and Food Brand Packaging
South Dakota produces beef, corn, soybeans, sunflowers, and honey that have genuine market value when packaged to communicate Great Plains agricultural authenticity. Farm-direct brands and specialty food producers in South Dakota benefit from packaging that communicates the state's clean, natural agricultural identity.
Black Hills and Tourism Packaging
The Black Hills and Badlands draw millions of tourists annually, creating demand for gift packaging for South Dakota artisan products, Native American crafts, and regional specialty foods sold in Mount Rushmore-area retail.

Shipping Boxes in South Dakota — FAQs
What ECT rating do I need for my shipping boxes?
32 ECT is the standard for most consumer product shipping in single layers. Products over 20 lbs or shipped on pallets benefit from 44 ECT or double-wall construction. We calculate the appropriate ECT rating based on your product weight, box dimensions, and distribution environment.
How does dimensional weight (DIM weight) affect my shipping costs?
Carriers calculate shipping charges as the greater of actual weight or dimensional weight (length × width × height ÷ DIM factor). Oversized boxes inflate your DIM weight and increase carrier charges. We optimize box dimensions to minimize DIM weight without compromising protection.
Can shipping boxes be printed on the inside as well?
Yes. Inside printing is popular for DTC brands that want to create an unboxing experience. The inside of a shipping box is seen by the customer at the peak moment of excitement — printing your brand, a thank you message, or artwork inside adds impact without adding cost.
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 for significantly lower unit costs. We also offer just-in-time production programs for DTC brands with variable volume requirements.
Do shipping boxes need to be certified for specific carrier requirements?
Yes. Major carriers including UPS, FedEx, and USPS have published guidelines for packaging performance. Our shipping boxes meet these guidelines for standard single-item shipments. We can produce carrier-certified packaging for specialized applications including hazardous materials, fragile items, and oversized products.

Yes. We ship to all South Dakota cities. Ground delivery to Sioux Falls and Rapid City is 3-4 business days from production.
