How can I get unique shipping boxes for my product?

Veteran

Dali Rivera Abingdon , MD

Hi,

I am in the process of starting a company and I will be needing some boxes to ship my product (some high-end kitchen cutting boards). I have a certain look for the box that I want to get. However, I have done some research online and have seen there are many different types of boxes, most of the corrugated, but before I call around, I'd like to know if anyone has done this before and can I get some tips on anything I may need to know (lingo, what to expect, etc). I need to get boxes that are simple, but that make a statement. I plan on having my logo printed on them. I was thinking of going in the route that Apple did. Their boxes are simple, yet they scream they are not just any box. I just want to find a type of box that will do that for my product.

Thanks in advance!

Hello Dali,
Congratulations on your initiative and best of luck in your new venture!
If you'll specify your location then perhaps I or others may have more specific recommendations as to particular contacts and regional suppliers which will be key to minimize your cost and maximize support.
Best Regards,
David

Try Box Brothers and an inexpensive printing company for the labels or the printing of your logo on the boxes.

Good Morning Dali,

I have no experience in what you are trying to do. But I did do supply in the military, and would be happy to look at your product and give you my opinion. Also if there is anything I can do to assist you, let me know. Have a great day.
