Custom Ecommerce Packaging

Branded unboxing, optimized for shipping economics.

Ecommerce packaging balances cost, weight, protection and brand experience. We engineer packaging for Shopify and Amazon sellers — corrugated mailers, void-fill, inserts, tape and stickers, all from one supplier. Ecommerce operations of every size share a short list of recurring problems: mailers whose DIM weight eats into margin, shipments that arrive damaged and generate return-ticket support volume, and brands that photograph their product on a studio desk but ship it in a generic brown box. Typical order runs are 500–3,000 units for DTC brands launching their first custom pack and 20,000–200,000 units for established Shopify and Amazon sellers. MOQ is 500 units for corrugated mailers and 1,000 units for rigid mailer-box alternatives; kraft bags, tissue paper and branded stickers are available from 1,000 units upwards. Lead time is 10–15 working days from sample approval; rush production is available at a 30% premium for orders under 10,000 units. Common pain points include mailers that tear along the score line on the last mile, Amazon sellers needing to pass the 3-foot drop test without excess filler, and brands needing to match Pantone color across mailer, tissue, sticker and shipping label. We solve these by engineering every mailer to your exact product footprint to cut DIM weight, providing drop-test samples before bulk production, and color-managing every component of your pack through a single press profile. From a 500-unit brand-first test run to a 200,000-unit quarterly replenishment, we produce corrugated mailers, rigid boxes, kraft bags, tissue paper and branded stickers from one supplier.

Frequently asked

Questions about ecommerce packaging.

Right-sized mailers and inserts.

We design mailers to fit your specific product dimensions, eliminating void fill and reducing the dimensional weight that carriers charge against.

Yes — one supplier for the full pack.

We produce the mailer, inner bag, die-cut insert, branded sticker and tissue paper in a single coordinated run. Color-matching across components is handled through one press profile, and the whole order ships together to reduce warehouse receiving cost.

Yes — drop-tested mailer and insert design.

Every ecommerce mailer design is drop-tested from the standard 3-foot courier-drop height before bulk production. We also provide the ISTA 6-A and Amazon SIOC test reports on request for FBA programs.

50 units for rigid, 500 for mailers.

Our standard MOQ is 50 units for rigid boxes, 500 units for corrugated mailers, and 1,000 units for kraft bags and stickers. This lets DTC brands test a market without committing to volume.

Yes — EVA foam, card dividers.

We produce custom inserts for ecommerce packaging, including EVA foam inserts and card dividers. Inserts hold products in place during shipping and create a premium unboxing experience.

Yes — custom stickers from 1,000 units.

We produce branded stickers for ecommerce packaging. Stickers are available in custom shapes and sizes, with options for foil stamping, spot UV, and matte or glossy finishes.
