Industries we serve
Custom packaging specified for how your sector sells.
The same custom printed box does not serve a serum, a candle, a phone accessory and a box of pastries. Each sector packs a different weight, sells in a different place and asks the box to carry different information. The industry pages show what is usually specified for each market; this page explains how those needs differ.
Cosmetics, food, candles, soap, jewelry, apparel, electronics, e-commerce, supplements and gifting — each with the structures, boards and finishes that suit it.
How to choose
How packaging needs differ by sector.
Weight
A jar of cream, a bottle of hair care or a candle in glass needs a heavier board and a base that will not fail: an auto-lock carton in a higher caliper, or a rigid box. A lipstick sits in a light carton. Gauge and closure follow the weight, not the category.
Fragility
Glass, ceramics, electronics and chocolate need the product held still: an insert cut to the footprint, a corrugated structure where the box itself is the protection, or both. Fragile products that travel are specified for the parcel network as well as the shelf.
Presentation and retail display
A box that sells from a shelf has two seconds to work. Windows show the product, hang tabs hold a peg and the front panel carries the brand and the claim. Gift and jewelry packaging is judged in the hand, so a rigid box with a fitted insert does the work.
Inserts
Cosmetics, jewelry, electronics and sets almost always take an insert: board, foam, moulded pulp or fabric-wrapped, one cavity per item. Bakery and confectionery take dividers and trays. Apparel rarely needs one. The insert is drawn with the dieline so it fits the box it goes into.
Delivery
Products sold direct to consumer meet a courier before they meet the customer. E-commerce and subscription packaging is a corrugated mailer printed inside and out, sized so nothing moves and the opening is worth photographing. Retail products travel in cases and can use a lighter primary box.
Dimensions
Every box is made to the product's measurements. A range with several sizes of the same product, such as a skincare line or a candle collection, is specified so one structure and one artwork scale across the sizes, with a dieline produced for each.
In detail
Information panels and repeat orders.
Labelling and information panels
Cosmetics carry ingredient lists and volume marks; supplements carry facts panels and warnings; food carries ingredients, allergens and weights; electronics carry compliance marks and barcodes. You supply the regulatory content and we lay it out on the dieline with the artwork, so it prints legibly and the front panel stays clean.
Repeat ordering
Most sectors reorder the same box, or the same box in a new size or colorway. The approved dieline, artwork and specification stay on file, so a reorder runs from the same proof at the quantity you need, and a new SKU is specified against the existing range.
Industry questions
Before you ask.
Anything not covered here, put it in the notes on your quote and we will answer it directly.
Ask on your quoteMy product is not in a listed industry. Can you still make the box?
Yes. The industry pages are starting points, not limits. Send the product dimensions, weight, quantity and a photo, and we specify the structure, board and finish for it.
Can you print regulatory information and barcodes?
Yes. You supply the content: ingredients, facts panels, warnings, barcodes and compliance marks. We place it on the dieline with your artwork so it is legible and in the right position.
What is the minimum order?
50 boxes on every structure, for every sector. Unit cost falls as the quantity rises.
How long does production take?
Approximately 10–12 working days from proof approval and payment. Ground shipping adds 3–5 working days after production, and delivery is free on every order to US addresses.
