Choose offset for large, color-critical runs and digital for short, fast or photo-heavy orders.
| Printing method | Best for | Main strength |
|---|---|---|
| Offset printing | Larger runs, brand-color consistency | Sharpest detail, steady color at scale |
| Digital printing | Short runs, samples, seasonal drops | No plates, fast and affordable |
Offset printing sets up plates, so it delivers the crispest detail and holds color steady across thousands of boxes, which suits established brands ordering in volume. Digital printing skips the plates, so short runs, samples and seasonal designs stay fast and affordable. Tell us the quantity and artwork, and we recommend the more cost-effective route free.
Printed rigid boxes suit retail, ecommerce, subscription and corporate brands that lead with visual identity.
Retailers use custom printed rigid boxes to stand out on shelf, and ecommerce brands use them to own the unboxing. Subscription brands print inside panels with reorder messaging, and corporate teams print branded gift boxes for events. Startups use our zero-MOQ policy to launch a single printed box with no wasted stock.
Printed rigid boxes are cut to any size, and the chart below shows the most requested dimensions by product.
| Box size (L x W x H) | Fits | Common product |
|---|---|---|
| 4 x 4 x 2 in | Candles, small retail items | Retail cartons |
| 6 x 6 x 2 in | Cosmetics, bottles, sets | Beauty and skincare |
| 8 x 8 x 3 in | Multi-item sets | Gift and subscription |
| 10 x 8 x 3 in | Apparel and electronics | Ecommerce kits |
These are starting points, not limits. We size every box around the exact product and cut fully custom dimensions on request, so the print wraps cleanly and the item sits snug.
We print on thick greyboard, measured in millimetres with GSM as a guide, wrapped in printed art paper.
| Material / board | Thickness (approx GSM) | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Standard greyboard | 1.5-2mm (1000-1300 GSM) | Retail and cosmetics |
| Heavy greyboard | 2.5-3mm (up to 2000 GSM) | Gift sets, electronics |
| Art paper / SBS wrap | Wrap layer | Vivid printed surface |
| FSC-certified board | 1.5-3mm | Sustainable brands |
Lighter board suits small retail items, while heavier board carries gift sets and electronics. Art paper and SBS wrap print the sharpest, and FSC-certified board is available for sustainable brands. The wrap is what carries your artwork, so a smooth, coated surface keeps color crisp.
We print in full CMYK for photos and artwork and match exact Pantone (PMS) colors for logos, then confirm every color on your digital proof. Our color guide explains CMYK, PMS and RGB in plain terms.
Finishes lift a printed box and protect the surface from scuffs and fingerprints.
| Finish | Effect | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Matte lamination | Calm, premium surface | Clean, minimal brands |
| Gloss lamination | Bright, punchy color | Bold, vivid artwork |
| Soft-touch lamination | Velvet feel | Premium retail |
| Spot UV / foil / embossing | Accent that pops off the print | Logos and key details |
Matte keeps colors calm, gloss makes them pop, and soft-touch adds a velvet feel. Over the top, spot UV, foil and embossing highlight your logo while the lamination protects the print in transit. For the most decorated build, compare our custom luxury rigid boxes.
Inside printing, inserts and add-ons turn a printed box into a full branded unboxing.
| Option | What it does | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Inside printing | Branded interior reveal | Ecommerce and subscription |
| Foam / EVA insert | Firm shock protection | Fragile and electronics |
| Dividers / trays | Organise multiple items | Gift and multi-SKU sets |
| Magnetic lid, ribbon, QR code | Closure and branding | Retail and gifting |
The inside of a box is a stage most brands ignore, so print it with a pattern, a message or a bold color that rewards the customer. Add inserts to hold the product, a magnetic lid for a premium close, or a QR code that links to your brand. For matching labels and seals, see our custom design stickers.

Every run passes color-matching and print-alignment checks, so unit 1 and unit 10,000 match.
Off-brand color quietly cheapens a product, so we verify color, registration and finishing before boxes ship. That consistency is exactly why brands order printed rigid boxes in volume, and the same control carries into our custom rigid gift boxes for gifting programs.
There is no minimum, your design proof is free, and most orders ship in about 8-12 business days.
Print a single box or a full run, then move to 100 or more units for wholesale pricing. Most orders leave our facility in about 8-12 business days once you approve the proof, with a RUSH lane for tight dates. Explore every structure on our custom rigid boxes hub.
