Custom Boxes Made to Your Own Size and Artwork

Custom boxes are boxes made to your own dimensions and artwork rather than bought in a fixed stock size. Half Price Packaging produces them to order for UK brands, quoting each job to specification instead of working from a published list. You choose the style, the board, the print coverage and the finish, and the box is built around the product rather than the product being squeezed into the box. Kraft, cardboard, rigid, die cut, mailer, tuck end, pillow, window, gable and display formats are all available, printed in full colour. Free design support is on hand if you do not have a dieline yet, and a digital proof is approved before anything goes to production.

Box styles you can specify

The style is part of the brief, not an afterthought. Cardboard boxes and mailers cover despatch and ecommerce. Kraft boxes suit brands that want an uncoated, natural look. Rigid boxes are the heavier gift and presentation option. Die cut boxes handle shapes a standard carton cannot hold. Beyond those, the catalogue runs to tuck end cartons, pillow boxes, window boxes, sleeve and tray sets, gable boxes, snap lock bases, subscription boxes, dispenser boxes and retail display units.

Board, print and finishing

Boxes are produced in kraft, cardboard, bux board and rigid board. Printing is full colour and you decide which panels carry artwork. Finishing is quoted per job rather than bundled into a package: matt or gloss lamination, foiling, embossing, metallic and holographic effects, hang tabs and box wrap. Recyclable and eco material options are available where sustainability is part of the brief. Custom shapes are cut to your own drawing when none of the standard styles fit the product.

Turning a specification into a quote

Send the internal dimensions of the product, the material you have in mind, the print coverage and the quantity you are planning. If the artwork is not ready, free design support is available to work the dieline up with you. A digital proof is signed off before production starts, so you see the layout, the colour and the panel copy before the run. Costs, delivery and turnaround are confirmed on your quote rather than published as a list, because no two specifications cost the same.

Which brands custom boxes suit

Custom boxes suit cosmetics and skincare ranges that need a carton to hold a bottle or a set, bakery and drinks producers packing for the counter and for delivery, supplement and wellness labels, subscription and ecommerce brands shipping direct to the buyer, and automotive and hardware sellers who need a printed carton that holds its shape on a shelf. Browse the material, style and shape range to see how the formats differ before you enquire.

What to include in your enquiry

• Dimensions: length, width and depth of the product, in millimetres.
• Style: the box format you have in mind, or a photo of something close to it.
• Material and finish: kraft, cardboard or rigid board, plus any lamination, foiling or embossing.
• Quantity and artwork: the run you are planning, and print ready files if you already have them.
