Whether you are planning for a variety of premium materials, a custom size, colourful printing, or luxurious finishes, your retail packaging will be truly representative of your brand. Choose ideal retail packaging wholesale from Custom Box USA and present your products professionally.

What Are Custom Retail Product Boxes?

Custom retail boxes are specially designed to serve as packaging solutions that protect, present and promote products being sold in stores and online. The boxes can be made to any size, shape, material, and printing and finishing, compared with the standard packing, which is limited in size and shape. Besides protecting the product during transport and storage, custom retail boxes can also make the product more appealing on the shelves, customer experience, and build a strong brand identity in the competitive market.

Retail Boxes vs Mailer Boxes vs Shipping Boxes 

There can be some confusion between these three packaging terms and each of them serves a distinctly different purpose. They can make your packaging bill go up in a cloud of smoke if they are mixed up. A retail box designed to make a statement on the shelf won't make the trip across the country and a heavy duty shipping box will crush a product's brand under plain corrugate.

Retail boxes are shop winners as it's easier to see them on the shelf. Shipping boxes are winning in terms of durability. Choose according to the destination of the product, and combine when the product requires them both. 

Retail Boxes for Every Industry

Our custom box solutions are perfect for a variety of industries as they help protect product exposure, security and customer experience.

Cosmetics & Beauty Boxes: it works best for skin care, beauty, lotion, serum and beauty and hair care products, offering a superior display with added brand worth.

Health & Wellness Boxes: Improve packaging of vitamins, supplements, nutraceuticals and wellness products that require a safe, clean and professional packaging solution.

Food & Beverages Boxes: Designed for specialty foods, bakery products, beverages and packaged products that need a good eye-catching and protective outer packaging.

Electronics & Accessory Boxes: These boxes are ideal for tech accessories and consumer electronics due to their clean look and sturdiness.

Apparel & Lifestyle Boxes: Perfect for clothing, shoes and accessories for  an ideal retail and eCommerce unboxing experience.

Retail Boxes for eCommerce & Shipping Inserts: Retail boxes can also be used for mailers or in shipping boxes to provide additional protection and a branded unboxing experience.

Custom Box USA offers retail packaging solutions that are customized to fit your product, industry and brand, from the sizes and materials you can select to how you print and finish it.

Popular Retail Box Styles

There are different packages suitable for each product, as well as customer expectations and presentations. We offers multiple types of boxes for retail stores, which are eye-catching and safe.

Gift Boxes: Gift boxes are excellent for sophisticated items, like cosmetics, candles, seasonal items, and promotional items! The beautiful designs leave a lasting impression when unboxed.

Jewelry Boxes: Jewelry boxes are small and compact yet can still offer a secure fit, keeping your pieces safe and protected while still looking ornate. Available upgrades are premium finishes, lining and custom inserts for additional safety and appearance.

Display BoxesRetail shelving and countertop use is ideal for display boxes which can be used to organise and make products visible and easily accessible for customers. They can be a good choice for enhancing product exposure and sales.

Gable Boxes: Gable boxes are lightweight, can be easily transported and are attractive plus have an integrated handle for effortless transporting. They are commonly used for gift packaging, bakery goods, take-away packaging, and promotional packaging.

Custom Designed Kraft Box With Window: Made from natural, biodegradable Kraft fibre and featuring an integrated front window panel, it is perfect for candles, soaps and baked goods where it's as important to show the product as it is to protect it.

Kraft Packaging with Display Window: A heavier-duty structural option that will maintain its form and shape to stand up flat and stable for shelf stacking while allowing the window panel to still be seen through, a sturdier option for packaging that will look good on the shelf over time, and not just while in the box. 

Countertop & Floor Display Boxes

Point-of-purchase packaging is playing a different role than a box in a warehouse, it is competing in the few seconds it takes for the individual to make a purchase. Retail research reveals that the right display can boost sales by 15% and impulse buying by as much as 20% and can quickly pay for itself in a few months. That's what a good countertop or floor display box is designed to do.

Open Front Countertop Trays: These smaller trays, with an opening large enough for checkout counters and service desks, can be used to house candy, snacks, and even additional cosmetic products that a shopper can grab, look at and decide about within seconds.

Shelf-Ready Display Boxes: In one box, a transportation box and a retail display box. Tear-away perforations allow the outer shipping shell to go from shipping carton to shelf ready display tray in seconds without having to be repackaged or a display box ordered.

3-Tier Floor Displays: Freestanding, multi-level cardboard displays, used in high-traffic areas, near entry points or in aisles, have a removable top header for brand messaging without encroaching on the footprint that supports the product.

Straight Tuck End (STE) construction is available for all of the styles listed in this section, including pre-glued, shipped flat and tape-free options. Print can be both inside/outside so the display is just as branded as the product on display.

Retail Product Boxes By Material

The material determines the performance of a box, rather than only its appearance.

Kraft: Natural, recyclable and rustic. Perfect fit with food, beauty and lifestyle brands that are eco-first.

Corrugate: Designed to absorb shock and to provide strength. The perfect solution for retail products that must withstand shipping.

Cardboard:Cardboard boxes are versatile and economical. Easy to print, reasonably cost-effective per square, and most retail products can be printed on.

Cardboard C1S: One side is soft matte, the other side is not coated. It's the affordable option if you want to get an upscale look on the outside.

Cardboard C2S: Matte on both sides with soft cardboard, resulting in a premium feel for the customer either side up or side down.

Metalized Cardboard: High quality cardboard with a shiny, reflective metallic finish that is used in high quality packaging, specialty printing or decoration.

Holographic Cardboard: changes colours and appears 3 dimensional when lit, providing a multi-dimensional, eye-catching look.

Kraft Paper Options

Kraft is not just one material, as it is provided with different finishes, according to the desired aesthetics of a brand.

Natural Brown Kraft: Unbleached naturally brown paper stock that is easy to use and has a rustic feel.

Black Kraft: Standard Kraft paper dyed black, typically used for high-end, classy product lines.

White Kraft: Brown Kraft paper bleached or coated white, retaining Kraft's structural qualities and providing a cleaner and brighter finish.

Rigid Boxes: Built for Premium Presentation

Rigid boxes can feel substantial due to their construction of wrapping decorative paper around a solid, dense chipboard core. These boxes cannot be folded flat like regular boxes. They are firm and stiff and therefore have a substantial weight, giving them a quality feel. That's why luxury retail boxes and high end retail boxes are used by luxury brands, phone companies and high-end makeup lines. They desire the unboxing event to be a special event.

Rigid construction is better suited for styles that lighter materials cannot, such as magnetic lids, two-piece telescoping boxes and slide-out trays in drawer style, which all look premium, as these materials keep the box from collapsing when handled without relying on tape and glue. The cost and shipping bulk comes into play, as rigid boxes are shipped as assembled units instead of flat; the point is usually that with products where the value is perceived as being in the box, the tradeoff is cost and shipping bulk.

Custom Printed Retail Packaging

Custom print is a way to make a box a branding tool. Businesses can place logos, product information, QR codes, social media details, and promotional messages on their packaging to provide information to customers. 

Custom print is the brand; the box is a tool. Digital printing is for smaller ‘wholesale’ volumes and offset printing is for larger ‘wholesale’ numbers. They support both full CMYK colour and Pantone matching to ensure branding is consistent throughout all boxes in the run. All-sides printing goes one step further: it prints your brand on all sides of the panel, and not only the front.

POP Display packaging is designed to put several layers of product on the shelf to create the most impact. High-performance white ink printing combines crisp logos and text with kraft or dark stock for a pop without the added color expense. Other options like foil stamping, embossing, debossing and spot UV make premium retail packaging designs.  

Finishes and Lamination

Finishing makes all the difference in a box's feel in a person's hands. Gloss lamination enhances the shine and intensifies colors. Matte lamination is used to give the premium feel without any reflection. A clean finish and rapid tuck-top flap attachment can be achieved without the need to add to the hardware. Use an online tool to design your box. 

Folding & Presentation Boxes

Rigidness isn't the only option. Folds for shipments, including presentation boxes and card boxes, as well as gable folds and others, fold flat and set up quickly, reducing storage costs without sacrificing shelf presence.

Design Proofing Before Production

Check your design before it goes into full production. Flat digital views, 3D mock-ups and physical samples all help to identify sizing or colour errors early, before a print run is printed out incorrectly.

Custom Retail Boxes Wholesale Pricing

Wholesale pricing is based on order quantity. Custom retail boxes are not only affordable at small quantities, but they're affordable at any quantity you're testing or launching an entire retail line. Quality retail packaging doesn't have to cost a lot, and retail packaging wholesale boxes from Custom Box USA keeps the retail price down regardless of the quantity.

Protecting Your Products with Inserts

Half the work is done with a box. Custom inserts ensure that delicate items or objects, jewelry, glass, and cosmetics are protected from movement during shipping. Bubble wrap and foam provide additional protection and keep products safe from packing to unpacking as well.

Customization Options

Customization isn't just about size and colour. Box style, materials, finishes and extras such as ribbons, inserts and/or die-cut windows are all available. Custom retail packaging boxes are truly made for a brand when they are personalized.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable Packaging

People see the package; they don't see the contents inside. Kraft and biodegradable packaging are ideal for an environmentally friendly and protective packaging.

How Box Footprint Affects Shelf and Pegboard Fit

Retail boxes should fit the fixtures they are being installed in, not just look good. The majority of gridwall and pegboard shelving is spaced at regular intervals, usually 1″ or half-inch. If the box is just an inch or two too small it will either take up space or leave open spaces between the items, and if the box is too large it will just be wasted space. A retail box that fits the shelf depth and pegboard spacing will smoothly fit into the store fixtures, as opposed to competing with them, which is the type of packaging merchandisers are looking for.
