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 Virginia's Federal and Commercial Economy
Virginia has a unique dual economy — Northern Virginia is the largest concentration of federal government contractors and technology companies in the world, while Richmond, Virginia Beach, and the rest of the state have diverse commercial, agricultural, and tourism economies. Amazon's HQ2 in Arlington has accelerated Northern Virginia's already dominant technology sector. Branded Boxes serves Virginia's comprehensive economy with packaging solutions tailored to each sector's requirements.
Northern Virginia Technology and Defense Packaging
Northern Virginia — Tysons, Reston, Herndon, and Arlington — hosts the largest concentration of cybersecurity, defense technology, and federal IT companies in the country. Technology product packaging and corporate packaging for Northern Virginia's defense and technology sector from 50 units. Amazon's HQ2 presence has also created a major e-commerce packaging demand center in the region.
Richmond Food and Artisan Brand Packaging
Richmond has emerged as one of the South's most celebrated food cities, with a nationally recognized restaurant scene, craft brewery culture, and growing artisan food producer community. Packaging for Richmond food brands must communicate the city's creative culinary identity authentically.
Virginia Wine Country and Agricultural Packaging
Virginia's wine country — Charlottesville, Middleburg, and the Blue Ridge — produces award-winning wines that compete in national premium markets. Packaging for Virginia wineries, together with the state's ham, peanut, and seafood agricultural traditions, creates a rich specialty food packaging market.

Shipping Boxes in Virginia — 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 Virginia cities. Ground delivery to Richmond and Northern Virginia is 1-2 business days from production.
