Custom Printed Rigid Boxes

Custom printed rigid boxes combine sharp, full-colour artwork with strong board that protects the product in transit.

With zero MOQ, free design, a free print-ready proof and free US shipping, you can order one printed box or a large wholesale run, and your brand looks vivid on the shelf and safe in the mail.

Offset or Digital: Which Printing Is Right for You?

Choose offset for large, colour-critical runs and digital for short, fast or photo-heavy orders.

Printing method	Best for	Main strength
Offset printing	Larger runs, brand-colour consistency	Sharpest detail, steady colour 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 colour 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.

Which Brands Benefit from Printed Rigid Boxes

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 Box Sizes

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.

Materials and Board

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 colour crisp.

Colour Options: CMYK, PMS and RGB

Printed rigid boxes use CMYK and match exact Pantone (PMS) brand colours, while RGB stays for on-screen design.

Colour system	Use it for	Note
CMYK	Full-colour art, gradients, photos	Standard four-colour print
PMS (Pantone)	Exact logo and brand colours	Identical shade on every reprint
RGB	On-screen design and previews	Convert to CMYK before printing

CMYK mixes four inks to reproduce full-colour artwork and photography, which covers most designs. Pantone (PMS) matching uses pre-mixed inks to lock a signature brand colour, so your logo looks identical this run and the next. RGB is screen-only, so we convert files and confirm on your proof. Our CMYK, PMS and RGB colour guide explains it in plain terms.

Finishes That Protect the Print

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 colour	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 colours 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

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 colour 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. Ready to print yours?

Consistent Colour on Every Reorder

Every run passes colour-matching and print-alignment checks, so unit 1 and unit 10,000 match. Off-brand colour quietly cheapens a product, so we verify colour, 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.

Apexio Packaging prints for retail brands in New York, ecommerce sellers in Texas, beauty labels in Los Angeles and corporate teams in Chicago.
