Short answer: To quote your custom set-up box, we need the box size (or your product size), the quantities you want priced, your paper and printing ideas, any insert needs, and where the boxes will ship. You don’t need every answer. A Custom Box Expert will help fill in the gaps.

Quote checklist

1. Box size: Inside dimensions in inches, written Length x Width x Depth (L x W x D). Don’t know it yet? Send your product’s measurements, and tell us how you want it to fit, or let us suggest a fit. See How to Write Set Up Box Measurements.
2. Quantities: Ask for a few, for example 250, 1,000 and 2,500, so you can compare unit prices. Our minimum for custom set-up boxes is usually 250.
3. What goes inside: The product, its weight, and whether it’s fragile.
4. Insert: Do you need one, and how many items should it hold?
5. Materials: Any preference for cardboard thickness or color, and paper (gloss, matte, foil, textured, kraft, patterned or custom-printed).
6. Graphics and finishes: Logo only, full-color printing, foil stamping, embossing, coatings. Send artwork or ideas if you have them. Art files should be a high-resolution PDF (300 dpi or more), or AI or EPS with fonts outlined.
7. Lid depth: Full-depth, shallow or a specific depth, if you know. We can make any lid depth.
8. Delivery: The date you need boxes, whether you’d like us to warehouse them, and answers to our freight questions: complete physical shipping address (no PO boxes); commercial or residential; truck-high dock or liftgate needed; whether you can accept a full-size 53-foot semi or need a smaller truck; whether a dock appointment is required; if a liftgate is needed, whether the driver must help unload; and anything else the carrier should know to quote accurately.
9. Photos and samples: Send as much information as you can, such as photos, product samples, mockups, drawings and art files. It helps us get the specs right.
10. Contact details: Your name, company, phone and email.
