Packaging is more than just a container—it’s a representation of your brand. Custom product boxes show off your brand, protect your products and create an unforgettable unboxing experience.

 

Whether you’re a retail business, e-commerce brand or launching a new product, the right custom packaging will set you apart from the competition.

What Are Custom Product Boxes?

  • What is an FAQ section?
    An FAQ section can be used to quickly answer common questions about your business like "Where do you ship to?", "What are your opening hours?", or "How can I book a service?".
  • Why do FAQs matter?
    FAQs are a great way to help site visitors find quick answers to common questions about your business and create a better navigation experience.
  • Where can I add my FAQs?
    FAQs can be added to any page on your site or to your Wix mobile app, giving access to members on the go.
  • Length & Width:
    Once you know the slide direction, the length and width will be the rectangular dimensions of the open end of the sleeve, with length being the longest dimension.
  • Dimensional Order:
    Convention in the packaging industry is to always put the depth dimension last in terms of L x W x D. If your dimensions are not correctly called out, your sleeve configuration will not be correct. You’ll expect the sleeve to slide over your box this direction, but it’s been configured to slide a different direction altogether! When it comes to measurements, dimensional order DOES matter!!
  • How do I add a new question & answer?
    To add a new FAQ follow these steps: 1. Manage FAQs from your site dashboard or in the Editor 2. Add a new question & answer 3. Assign your FAQ to a category 4. Save and publish. You can always come back and edit your FAQs.
  • Can I insert an image, video, or GIF in my FAQ?
    Yes. To add media follow these steps: 1. Manage FAQs from your site dashboard or in the Editor 2. Create a new FAQ or edit an existing one 3. From the answer text box click on the video, image or GIF icon 4. Add media from your library and save.
  • How do I edit or remove the 'Frequently Asked Questions' title?
    You can edit the title from the FAQ 'Settings' tab in the Editor. To remove the title from your mobile app go to the 'Site & App' tab in your Owner's app and customize.
  • Paper Thickness for a Sleeve Box
    Paperboard, also known as board stock, is specifically designed for packaging (and other specialty) applications. It’s a dense, stiff paper with excellent print and foldability qualities, and it comes in a range of paper calibers (thicknesses). Paper calibers are measured in thousandths of an inch (0.001”), or in the print world, points, where each point represents one thousandth of an inch. Board stock’s unique qualities make it the go-to choice for custom product sleeves. If the sleeve is used as primary packaging, or secondary packaging as a printed overslip on corrugated boxes, you’ll want a board paper that holds its shape and stands up to abuse. For primary packaging sleeves you’ll want a board weight of between 0.016” – 0.024”. If the product is on the heavier, bulkier side, or if the packaging sleeve needs special diecuts, then tend towards a heavier paper. On smaller products you can get by with a paper stock as thin as 0.014” for a printed sleeve, but anything thinner is risky. What determines the paper stock will really be the application; the weight/size of the product, and how and where it will be used. Also keep in mind if it’s primary packaging there can be a lot of handling, so the sleeve is subject to tearing, especially if it’s a retail product.
  • Paper sleeves
    Be wary of sleeves printed on lightweight paper – anything under 0.014” thick. You’ll see sleeves being printed on 100lb gloss paper or similar advertised – this is the paper thickness of a thin advertising flyer (see box paper chart). These papers are not designed as a packaging stock, and don’t have the stiffness characteristics or tear resistance needed for a product sleeve. These sleeves are more like printed paper wraps, or belly bands designed to be cinched around a product and taped in place. Custom belly bands and wraps are cheap, quick to put on, and attract attention, but they’re not a good packaging sleeve.
  • What is Printed Sleeves as Secondary Packaging
    Customized packaging sleeves are often the ideal choice for secondary product packaging. They are cost-effective, eco-friendly, enable rapid product rebranding, and add vibrant color to otherwise plain packaging.
  • Sleeves as Corrugated Overslips
    What do you do when your corrugated product box is less than attractive? Corrugated boxes are essential for packaging heavier products, but they often lack visual appeal for a variety of reasons. First impressions mean a lot. To create an impact on consumers your product packaging has to attract and connect, especially if you’re selling retail. The way to connect with your audience is through your message. And just as important as having a quality product box is having the space to tell your story. This is where custom printed box sleeves come in. Using printed sleeves as a corrugated box overslip is a quick, easy, and low-cost way to brand, or even rebrand, your products. And if your wholesale products arrive from overseas in non-descript cardboard packaging – keep the corrugated box, just rebrand it by adding a custom printed sleeve.
  • Frozen Food Packaging Sleeves
    Custom printed box sleeves for frozen foods? Absolutely! They’re used as secondary packaging on frozen food products such as food bowls and trays. We manufacture the printed product sleeves automated food packaging systems use during packaging.
