These <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/types-of-packaging\/\">types of boxes<\/a> often include lots of little extras that set them apart from the competition, including stylish print designs, fitted inserts and dividers, custom wrap or tissue paper, and custom container boxes or bags inside.<\/td>\n<td>Can be a few additional pennies per box, but can increase to several dollars per box. The cost depends on many factors, including the size of the colors used in printing, box material, number of boxes, inserts included and more.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Printed Stock Boxes &amp; Packaging<\/b><\/td>\n<td>Companies who want to create the same kind of unboxing impact, but at a lower cost than ordering custom boxes.<\/td>\n<td>Varies, but it\u2019s typically less expensive than going fully custom. As with <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\">custom packaging boxes<\/a>, the cost of printed stock boxes varies widely depending on specifications.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>You can choose to go the fully customized route, but maybe a printed stock box will fit your needs. It\u2019s always best to ask packaging companies for a quote. A lot will depend on your budget and the <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/industries\/\">type of products you\u2019re shipping<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>With a custom box, you can pick any size you want, add fancy designs, fitted dividers, inserts, throw in some custom tissue paper, or make use of inner boxes and bags.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, you can get exactly what you want and know that your brand will have something entirely unique.<\/p>\n<p>When you design your custom <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/retail-packaging\/\">retail packaging<\/a>, don\u2019t let the inside flap of your shipping box go to waste. Take a company like <em>Loot Crate<\/em>, for example. They use this piece of precious real estate by including \u201cunboxing instructions,\u201d as a way to encourage social sharing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thumbnail\"><a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener norel noreferrer nofollow\"><br \/>\n<\/a><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" title=\"Loot Crate Custom Boxes Inside Flap Example\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Loot-Crate-Custom-Boxes-Inside-Flap-Example.png\" alt=\"Loot Crate Custom Boxes Inside Flap Example\" width=\"975\" height=\"360\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div class=\"thumbnail\">Of course, you\u2019ll pay more for a fully customized box. But a <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/box-design\/\">killer box design<\/a> doesn\u2019t have to break the bank. A few extra pennies per box can go a long way towards crafting a stunning custom package.<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><span style=\"font-size: 1rem;\">But not to worry, you can still offer your customers a <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/unboxing-experience\/\">premium unboxing experience<\/a> even with more budget-friendly stock boxes. If you just need a few sizes, stock boxes may be the way to go. You can save money by only printing on the outside of the box, and using a single color.<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"thumbnail\">\n<p>Also, you can add your own interesting elements inside the box. By combining your branded inner packaging with a stock box, your costs can stay pretty low.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever route you decide on, make sure to research your options and find the right <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\">custom box manufacturer<\/a>.

Think Beyond The Box<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Not every company has the budget to digitally print their logo on the side of their shipping boxes. But that doesn\u2019t mean you have to forfeit all attempts at promoting your brand. The little things inside the box are an important component of <em>adding that personal touch<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for a little inspiration? It\u2019s not hard to find.<\/p>\n<p>Even a cursory search on <em>Pinterest<\/em> will have all kinds of packaging eye candy pop up.\u00a0 Many pinners devote whole boards to packaging ideas.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Here are some ideas to consider:<\/strong><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Notes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>How about the thrill of receiving a personalized, handwritten note?<\/p>\n<p>If you find one of those tucked inside your <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/product-boxes\/\">product box<\/a>, you\u2019ll take notice. A simple thank you note can go a long way.\u00a0 And it doesn\u2019t have to cost a fortune. For mere pennies, you can print up some thank you inserts, and make your customers feel special.<\/p>\n<p>You can get as fancy as you want, but if money\u2019s tight, you can even print some out on your own computer.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Stickers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<div class=\"thumbnail\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Custom Logo Stickers Example\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Custom-Logo-Stickers-Example.png\" alt=\"Custom Logo Stickers Example\" width=\"975\" height=\"317\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Logo stickers are another way to promote your brand. You can even slap one on the outside of the box if custom printing is too expensive. A common use of stickers is to secure tissue paper together.<\/p>\n<p>The cost of stickers will depend on the size, shape, and number of colors involved. Stickers come in either rolls or sheets. You typically have more options with sheets of stickers, but the trade-off is they\u2019re more expensive.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Inserts<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Another option is to include inserts, such as special offers, coupons, care instructions, or clever descriptions of your products. Don\u2019t be afraid to get creative and inject a little humor in your enclosures.<\/p>\n<p>Remember that printing costs usually go down for larger orders, so you may want to stick to evergreen offers that don\u2019t have expiration dates and are not seasonal. Save the festive Easter or Halloween promotions for when you have a bigger budget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Small Embellishments<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tags and other embellishments can also give your goods a high-end feel. A simple stylish business card, attached with a little piece of rattan can add some style.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Other Containers<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Bags, inner boxes, and colorful paper sleeves are other ways to set you apart from the crowd. Since your inside box isn\u2019t used for shipping it doesn\u2019t need to be as sturdy.<\/p>\n<p>Go ahead and get creative with different inner containers.

Here are five businesses that are effectively using custom packaging to promote their brands and values:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#1: Dollar Shave Club<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Do you remember <em>Dollar Shave Club\u2019s<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=EYQqQlH1aSA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">amusing Super Bowl commercial<\/a> from a couple of years back? I think that\u2019s the company\u2019s only commercial I\u2019ve seen on TV, but it stuck with me. One viewing of their commercial and I knew that it\u2019s <em>a company that understands the power of branding<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thumbnail\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Dollar Shave Club Branded Packaging Example\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Dollar-Shave-Club-Branded-Packaging-Example.png\" alt=\"Dollar Shave Club Branded Packaging Example\" width=\"975\" height=\"404\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>I wouldn\u2019t expect any less from their packaging.<\/strong> And I\u2019m not disappointed.<\/p>\n<p><em>Dollar Shave Club<\/em> keeps it simple, but injects their irreverent humor. The outer box is your typical brown box with the logo on top. Inside a brown paper, packaging mesh covers the goods in the box. There\u2019s nothing flashy, rather the emphasis is on sticking to the basics and keeping it entertaining.<\/p>\n<p>The inside box flap has a quote that sets the tone. Boxes also contain some literature for light bathroom reading and a flyer that talks about other products in their line.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#2: Vinebox<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em>Vinebox<\/em> is a subscription wine service that understands that a <a href=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/blog\/ways-to-make-product-packaging-pop\/\">high-end presentation can go a long way<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The service starts at $72 per box, which includes nine glass-size samples of wines. It\u2019s not cheap, so customers no doubt expect to be wowed by the whole experience of opening their quarterly delivery.<\/p>\n<p><em>Vinebox\u2019s<\/em> shipment arrives in a simple cardboard box with <em>Vinebox<\/em> printed on the side, but inside is a gorgeous matte black box containing the wine samples in narrow glass containers that resemble test tubes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"thumbnail\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Vinebox Custom Packaging Example\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Vinebox-Custom-Packaging-Example.png\" alt=\"Vinebox Custom Packaging Example\" width=\"975\" height=\"435\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>In addition to the high-end box, and cool-looking vials of wine, are beautifully printed descriptions of each wine that offer details about where the wine is from, kind of grapes, tasting notes, quotes, etc.\u00a0 They\u2019re the kind of card you\u2019re likely to hold onto to refer back to later\u2014keeping the brand front and center in your mind.<\/p>\n<p>The novelty of <em>Vinebox\u2019s<\/em> packaging is enough to encourage social sharing, and likely spur some repeat orders.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#3: Stitch Fix<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I don\u2019t know about you, but my social media channels seem to be littered with <em>Stitch Fix<\/em> unboxings. <em>Stitch Fix<\/em> is a subscription clothing and accessory company. When you sign up for the service, you\u2019re assigned a stylist who picks out apparel items for you and sends them your way.<\/p>\n<p>It truly is a gift-like experience because when you open your box you never know what\u2019s inside. This uncertainty lends excitement to unboxings and makes them fun to share.<\/p>\n<p>The box has <em>Stitch Fix\u2019s<\/em> distinct blue-colored logo covering two sides of a typical brown corrugated cardboard box. The box is secured with packing tape with the company\u2019s logo.<\/p>\n<p>Inside the box, clothing items are neatly wrapped in colorful tissue paper, secured with a logo sticker. If you happen to get shoes in your order they come in a fabric drawstring bag printed with a design in <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.stitchfix.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/StitchFix_Brand_Guidelines.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Stitch Fix\u2019s color palette<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thumbnail\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Stitch Fix Retail Printed Packaging Example\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Stitch-Fix-Retail-Printed-Packaging-Example.png\" alt=\"Stitch Fix Retail Printed Packaging Example\" width=\"975\" height=\"388\" \/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>A mailer for easy returns is also included with every order. But perhaps the most special element is a style card describing your items, along with a highly personalized note.\u00a0 The note reinforces that these items were picked out <em>specially just for you<\/em>.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#4: Goodbeing<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Your packaging should represent your company\u2019s values. <em>Goodbeing<\/em> is a natural beauty subscription service. They promote non-toxic, green, organic products, and their packaging reflects this sensibility.<\/p>\n<p>The box is a simple brown box with the brand printed on top and a colorful chevron pattern on the side for added interest. Inside, the goodies are packed in understated crinkle cut paper. The packaging is simple, which reinforces <em>Goodbeing\u2019s<\/em> natural vibe.<\/p>\n<div class=\"thumbnail\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" title=\"Goodbeing Custom Boxes Example\" src=\"https:\/\/refinepackaging.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/Goodbeing-Custom-Boxes-Example.png\" alt=\"Goodbeing Custom Boxes Example\" width=\"975\" height=\"417\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Each package has a card on top of the merchandise. This card includes an inspiring quote on one side, while the other side filled with special offers for subscribers.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>#5: Amazon<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>I\u2019d be remiss to write an article about <strong>custom packaging<\/strong> that did not include the eCommerce goliath\u2014<em>Amazon<\/em>.\u00a0 Who doesn\u2019t recognize the Amazon boxes with their distinct smile logo?<\/p>\n<p><em>Amazon\u2019s<\/em> packaging varies with certain promotions, but for the most part, it\u2019s simple\u2014their logo on the box, with some branded packing tape.\u00a0 Inside, the goods are usually protected by kraft paper or recyclable air cushions.<\/p>\n<p>But <em>Amazon<\/em> is concerned with the customer\u2019s overall unpacking experience, not just a pretty box.<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s why Amazon has what it calls <a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/b\/?&amp;node=5521637011\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Frustration-Free Packaging<\/a>.
