We use plastic-free materials that can go straight in the recycling. It helps you stay legal with the UK environmental rules. It ticks the boxes for the Extended Producer Responsibility regulations. Plus it looks good to shoppers who care about the climate. Every product needs a different look and setup. We have options for your whole catalog.

Technical Box Material Specifications

Picking the right cardboard thickness matters. It'll keep the clothes safe and it makes us look decent. For basic daily wear or lighter clothing pieces, we've got lighter boxes. We're using 250 GSM to 350 GSM folding boxboard or SBS. But sometimes you need stronger stock. Heavy coats or bigger clothing bundles need more support. So we'll use 400 GSM to 600 GSM thick cardstock for that. It holds up way better. Then there's the really high-end rigid stuff. We build those with 1200 GSM to 1800 GSM greyboard. Plus we wrap it in art paper or textured stock. Honestly it works great for expensive suits or designer gear.

We've got different corrugated flute profiles for shipping. It really depends on box weight.

1. We use E-Flute at 1.1 mm to 1.6 mm. That's our standard for custom clothes mailers. It folds clean and doesn't crush easy. Plus it prints nice inside and out.
2. Then there's B-Flute at 2.1 mm to 3.0 mm. We use that for heavier clothing orders or bulky retail stuff. It handles heavy coats without caving in. So you get decent top-load strength.
3. We also have NE-Flute or Micro-Flute under 1.0 mm. It's just a really light board. Honestly it saves on postage. But it's stiffer than regular flat cardstock.

If you are looking for organic look, we have also got natural brown kraft paper which is totally biodegradable and compostable. The paper weight ranges from 60 lb to 400 lb that is roughly 100 GSM to 450 GSM. We don't use bleach or chemicals. So it keeps those raw wood fibers and it passes European eco rules. We've got other sustainable paper options too. You can pick different kraft colors or recycled boards. They hold up well and stay rigid.

FAQs

What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom apparel boxes?

We do not have a strict minimum order quantity limit. We can do small batches of 100 boxes up to 500,000 units. Plus new brands can just order low numbers. It keeps your cash free and saves warehouse space. But the pricing changes with the total volume. Big wholesale orders get much cheaper per unit. It's because we share the setup costs and the cutting plates for the big runs.

What are the standard turnaround times for production and delivery to the UK?

Our normal turnaround for delivery is 10 - 12 business days. That's after you approve the final 3D digital proof and the dieline. That time covers the basic box engineering and the printing. Plus it includes the automated finishing work. We've got a rush option if you're in a hurry for seasonal drops. It drops the manufacturing down to 7 to 9 business days. But it depends on how complicated the box design actually is.

Can these boxes be fully customized with interior printing and specialized structural embellishments?

Yes, we can print just the outside or we'll do full color on the inside and outside. We use CMYK and PMS ink profiles. So the colors hit right. You can pick matte or gloss lamination. Plus we have soft-touch velvet varnishes. We do metallic foil stamping like gold and those shiny holographic styles. And we can press the cardboard with embossing or debossing. We've got spot UV coatings too. We cut custom die-cut PVC viewing windows. And we make internal cardboard inserts. We just build them how you need. Plus we can add ribbon ties or magnetic closures.
