White is a very common corrugated material that has a white or Kraft outside liner and a Kraft flute. Premium white is made with clay-coated outer liner paper for glossy, vibrant colors and high-end personalized packaging.

Kraft is a natural, brown liner. Printed graphics will appear differently on Kraft than on white. Please see our Artwork Guidelines for additional info.

We offer the most common and popular materials for corrugated packaging and boxes that should take care of most of your needs. We would love to hear from you about what other material you have in mind to use by completing our Contact Us form.

Looking to customize a different box type than we offer? Please complete a Contact Us form and someone will come back to you to discuss our custom box program.

We offer a variety of boxes that can be used for subscription boxes. Our wide selection of sizes and designs allows you to create a unique custom subscription box for any occasion.

Box dimensions will be based on Internal dimensions.

Artwork and Design

Yes, please refer to our Artwork Guidelines for the best results.

You can customize your box with printing on:

  • Outside only
  • Inside only
  • Both inside and outside
  • Or choose blank (no printing)

Select your preferred print option during the quoting process, and pricing will update automatically based on your selection.

When you place an order and click “submit,” you have approved the pdf of your design for production; no other proof will be sent to you. If you would like to see what your boxes will look like, please order 1 or 2, boxes to sample before placing a larger order.

Please follow our Artwork Guidelines for optimal results. All images should be provided at 300ppi (pixels per inch) at the final size for the best print quality. If an image is uploaded at 300ppi and then scaled or increased in size, its resolution quality will be reduced and may appear blurry or pixelated. 

You can print in full color (CMYK) and match your exact brand colors by entering your CMYK values directly in our design editor. If you’re working from HEX or RGB codes, those will automatically convert to CMYK for print. For best results, we recommend designing in CMYK since all packaging is printed using CMYK process inks. Keep in mind that colors may appear slightly different on corrugated material compared to what you see on a backlit screen.

You can download our dielines to apply your own art, offline.
