Styles of Custom Printed Shipping Boxes
At Nova Custom Label Printing, we offer a comprehensive selection of custom shipping boxes designed to meet various packaging needs. Here’s a closer look at some of our popular styles:
RSC Shipping Box
Regular Slotted Container (RSC) Shipping Box
This industry-standard box features a versatile design available in numerous sizes and configurations, crafted from durable corrugated cardboard.
We can tailor any RSC box to meet your exact specifications, complete with custom printed logos that ensure your brand stands out upon delivery. Each box is equipped with flaps that meet in the middle and are typically sealed with tape for secure closure.
Additionally, we offer custom printed tape to enhance the branding of your packaging solution.
Tuck Top Mailer Box
Known for their robust and stylish design, these custom mailer boxes are user-friendly with an extended outer flap that tucks neatly inside for closure. They provide an excellent presentation of your products, making them ideal for businesses looking to make a lasting impression.
Deluxe Mailer Box
For those looking to truly impress their customers, our deluxe mailer boxes are the perfect choice. These boxes feature a heavier construction and allow for bold colors and designs, making a significant visual impact.
Unlike the tuck top box, the deluxe version includes a “rollover front tuck” where the lip rolls over the front and secures into slots, offering enhanced security and a more refined look. Dust flaps on either side of the lid also help to secure the contents and maintain the box’s integrity.
Custom Box Printing Processes
Flexographic printing
At Nova Custom Label Printing, we provide flexible printing options tailored to align with both your budgetary constraints and volume requirements. Our primary printing techniques include flexographic printing and digital printing, which are selected based on the scale of your order.
Flexographic Printing for Bulk Orders
Ideal for high-volume orders, our industrial-run flexographic printing is the most cost-effective choice for producing custom printed boxes, including custom shipping boxes and custom mailer boxes. This method employs sharp, water-based inks suitable for one or two-color designs, ideal for adding logos and essential text to your custom boxes’ logo. The result is a clean, matte finish directly on the corrugated, custom packaging boxes.
Manufacturing occurs in-line with box production and depending on various factors such as print details and carton size, a cutting die may be required. We offer volume discounts starting at 500 units, with further price breaks at higher quantities.
Digital Printing for Small Batches
For smaller, more personalized orders, digital printing is the superior choice. This method allows for the printing of custom printed product boxes and customized gift boxes on a per-box basis, where each carton is constructed and printed individually. This process benefits from lower initial costs and is ideal for businesses needing limited runs without the burden of large upfront investments. Although the cost per box is higher due to the small scale, this approach provides flexibility and customization for custom packaging for small businesses.
Choose Nova Custom Label Printing for your custom box packaging needs to ensure high-quality results tailored precisely to your business’s specifications and budget. Whether you’re looking for custom rigid boxes, custom gift boxes, or any other type of custom box, we have the technology and expertise to deliver exceptional results.
Printing Techniques at Nova Custom Label Printing
Nova Custom Label Printing offers several printing methods to accommodate different needs for custom boxes, ensuring quality and cost-effectiveness.
Flexographic Printing
This method is the most straightforward and economical option for printing on custom packaging boxes, including custom shipping boxes and custom mailer boxes. It involves the use of water-based inks applied directly to the corrugated material through photopolymer printing plates, like rubber stamps.
The result is a sharp, clean print primarily suited for line art such as logos and basic text. This type of printing on custom printed boxes offers one or two-color options and produces a matte finish without gloss.
Lithographic Printing
For producing high-quality, vibrant prints on custom boxes with logos, lithographic printing is ideal. This technique is commonly seen in retail packaging for high-end products like kitchen appliances and toys.
Lithographic printing delivers rich colors and detailed photographic images with a semi-gloss or high gloss finish, enhancing the visual appeal of custom product boxes and customized gift boxes.
Digital Printing
When only a small number of custom printed product boxes are needed, digital printing is the preferred method. This technique is suitable for low-volume orders of custom packaging for small businesses and utilizes advanced inkjet technology to print directly on the box.
Digital printing allows for detailed and colorful designs like lithographic quality but is more flexible for smaller batches of customized boxes.
Ink Options for Custom Box Printing
Water Based Inks
At Nova Custom Label Printing, we have been utilizing water-based flexographic inks for custom printed boxes for decades. These inks have evolved alongside technological advancements, allowing us to maintain superior quality across all our custom box products, including custom shipping boxes and custom mailer boxes.
Durability of Water-Based Inks
The water-based inks we currently employ are robust enough to endure the wear and tear experienced by mailing bags, retail bags, and other printed items throughout their lifecycle.
Despite significant advancements in water-based ink technology, they are not recommended for use in freezer environments where condensation might cause the ink to degrade. For such applications, solvent-based inks are preferred due to their resistance to moisture.
When considering enhanced branding and visual appeal for shipping your products, the custom-printed die-cut mailer box offers a premium alternative to traditional corrugated shipping boxes and poly mailer bags. These custom boxes with logos and designs not only look more sophisticated but also help distinguish your brand in the marketplace.
Custom Die Cut Mailer Boxes
Custom Die-Cut Mailer Boxes: Nova Custom Label Printing stocks over 40 different cutting dies, accommodating a wide range of custom box packaging styles and sizes. Leveraging our existing die-cuts can significantly reduce both the time and cost associated with your custom printed product boxes project, helping you achieve a distinctive presentation and functional packaging solution more efficiently.
Whether you need a standard custom shipping box or a more elaborate custom rigid box, our printing and cutting options are designed to meet diverse needs, enhancing your product presentation while supporting your branding efforts.
Corrugated Boxes and Die Cut Mailer Boxes
Essentials of a Die-Line Template
Every project for custom shipping boxes necessitates a die-line template. Think of this as a blueprint for your custom mailer box. It’s a 2D diagram that displays the box in a flattened state before assembly. This template details crucial aspects such as cut lines, fold lines, and perforation lines, ensuring all components fit perfectly when printed, especially if it involves a custom printed mailer box.
Commonly used software for crafting these templates includes Adobe Illustrator, and we at Nova Custom Label Printing offer design services to help if you lack the software or design expertise.
Functionality of a Die-Line Template
Die-line templates for custom boxes display several line types, including dotted perforation lines, cut lines, and fold lines. They may also show glue tabs and eye marks depending on the box type.
These lines are layered in the template to dictate the assembly sequence—perforations first, then cuts, and finally folds, which guide the final assembly of the custom packaging boxes.
Why Opt for a Die-Cut Mailer Box?
Choosing a die-cut mailer box, such as our tuck top mailer boxes or deluxe mailer boxes, allows your business to elevate its packaging strategy.
These boxes offer a premium unboxing experience and a refined look, which can significantly enhance your brand’s perception and customer retention. They are designed not only for aesthetic appeal but also for practical ease of use.
Tuck Top Mailer Box: Features an extended flap that tucks inside the box, combining elegance with durability for an impressive product presentation.
Deluxe Mailer Box
Offers a more sophisticated structure with a front lip that rolls over and secures into front slots, reinforced by dust flaps for additional protection.
Enhancing the Customization with Die-Line Templates
When custom-printed graphics are part of your custom box packaging, the die-line template becomes even more pivotal. It shows where to place artwork on the box, ensuring it doesn’t extend into areas that will be cut or folded. Key lines include:
Bleed Lines
Indicate the very edges of the design space, where artwork should slightly overlap to ensure full coverage.
Trim Lines
Ensure there’s a margin to prevent important design elements from being trimmed off.
Crease Lines
Positioned to avoid any critical design elements from being affected by the box’s folds.
At Nova Custom Label Printing, we specialize in creating custom printed boxes that enhance your brand’s visibility and appeal. Our customized boxes, ranging from custom gift boxes to custom rigid boxes, utilize die-line templates to ensure precision and satisfaction in every batch produced. Whether you need small-scale custom packaging for a boutique business or bulk orders of custom shipping boxes, we’re equipped to meet your needs with high-quality, professionally designed packaging solutions.
Specifications and Pricing for Custom-Printed Mailer Boxes
Overview of Custom Mailer Box Materials
Our custom mailer boxes are available in various grades of corrugated board, typically ranging from 200#E to 200#C, including 32B and 32C options.
Typically, these mailer boxes are constructed with a single wall but are engineered to fold in a way that creates a double-walled structure on three of the six sides for added durability.
Custom printed boxes can feature graphics, branding, and other details both inside and out. It’s common practice to use multi-color printing on the exterior for a strong first impression, while the interior often features a single-color print.
Getting a Quote for Custom Printed Mailer Boxes
To streamline the quoting process for custom packaging boxes, including custom shipping boxes and custom rigid boxes, consider the following details:
- Size: Provide the inside dimensions of the box to specify the usable space required.
- Color: Specify your preference, whether you need the box fully brown or white, or a combination of both on different sides.
- Printing: Decide if you require printing on just the outside, just the inside, or both. This affects the printing method and cost.
- Artwork: Describe the artwork to be printed on the box, including the complexity and number of ink colors.
- Quantity: Understand that while we handle orders of all sizes, larger quantities typically benefit from lower per-unit costs due to scaling efficiencies. Price breaks often occur at quantities of 500, 1,000, 1,500, and 2,000 units.
At Nova Custom Label Printing, we specialize in creating customized boxes that meet your specific needs, whether you’re looking for custom boxes with logo, custom gift boxes, or custom printed product boxes. Our team is ready to assist with your custom box packaging, ensuring high-quality results tailored to your branding requirements.
Cost Efficiency with Cutting Dies
At Nova Custom Label Printing, we optimize the production of custom printed boxes, including custom mailer boxes and custom rigid boxes, using our extensive collection of cutting dies.
Creating custom printed die-cut mailer boxes typically involves a cutting die tailored to the specific type and size of the box, alongside a die line template and printing plates. The cost for a new cutting die can vary significantly, ranging from $600 to over $2,000 for each size of the mailer box.
By utilizing an existing die that matches your project’s specifications, you can avoid the considerable expense of manufacturing a new die, potentially saving up to $3,000 in related labor and material costs.
It is essential to note that each cutting die is designed for a specific board grade and box size, such as a deluxe mailer box measuring 8x8x4 made from 200#B corrugated board and cannot be altered.
Before starting your order for custom packaging boxes or custom shipping boxes, call us to see if one of our existing dies fits your needs. This approach not only cuts down on your costs but also speeds up the production process, allowing you to leverage what we’ve already perfected.
Why spend more and wait longer if we already have the right tools to get started on your custom boxes with logos or customized boxes right away?

Measurements for a Custom Printed Box
• What are you putting into this box? How much internal packing is needed to protect your product? When we systematically combine that information, we will pin-point the most economical size & style of custom corrugated box to suit your needs.
• There are three dimensions to all boxes, Length, Width, and Depth. Our industry uses the inside dimensions for measuring purposes. If you are measuring an existing box, set it on a table so that it is open at the top. Measure the inside size of the opening. The longer dimension is the length and comes first in order.
• The other dimension is the width. Now, measure the distance from one of the inside corners to the top. This is the depth. When you tell us the dimensions of the box, they need to be in this order, Length x Width x Depth.
Key Questions and Definitions in the Box Printing Industry
What to Consider When Ordering Custom Boxes?
When placing an order for custom boxes, it’s crucial to select the correct size and shape that best fits your product. Custom box packaging allows for various finishing touches such as unique curves, flaps, colors, and materials that enhance your goods’ appeal and marketability.
Collaborating closely with a design team ensures that your precise requirements are met, transforming your initial concept into a tangible, standout package.
Types of Specialty Boxes in Printing and Packaging
Straight Tuck and Roll Tuck Boxes
STE Box: Commonly referred to as a Straight Tuck End box, it features both the top and bottom closing flaps located on the same side of the box, streamlining the design and assembly process.
TTAB Box: Tuck Top Auto Bottom box is noted for its durable bottom, making it a slightly pricier yet robust option suitable for bulk production. This box type is advantageous for industries like food and retail due to its ease of assembly and sturdy design.
RTE Box: The Reverse Tuck End box includes closing flaps at opposite ends, offering a cost-effective and compact packaging solution. Its design allows for quicker assembly and efficient stacking but has a weaker structural front panel that could interfere with closing mechanisms.
Difference Between Box Types
The TTAB box is stronger than a Snap Lock Bottom box, which, though featuring a secure closing lock for safety, is typically easier and more compact for storage and display purposes. Both styles are prevalent in various sectors, including food and retail.
Unique Box Designs
Octagon boxes provide a distinctive packaging choice with their eight-sided design, making them both functional and visually appealing for specialty items. They offer robustness and efficient space utilization.
Paperboard Definitions in Printing and Packaging
SBS Paperboard: Known as Solid Bleached Sulfate, this high-quality paperboard is ideal for applications requiring a moisture barrier or high-quality print finish, such as in health and beauty, pharmaceutical, and frozen food packaging.
Recycled Paperboard: Made from recovered paper waste, recycled paperboard is a multi-ply material that is increasingly being used as an economical alternative in the packaging industry due to its cost benefits and lower environmental impact.
Paperboard: This term describes heavier weight paper grades used broadly in making various packaging products like boxes, cartons, and containers.
CMYK Process printing
Color Printing in the Industry
PMS Color: Refers to the Pantone Matching System, a standardized color reproduction system where each color is printed with its own ink, ensuring accuracy and consistency.
Process Color: Also known as CMYK color, this method uses four inks (cyan, magenta, yellow, and black) blended to create a broad spectrum of colors in printed materials.
Eco-Friendly Packaging Advantages
Eco-friendly packaging not only enhances a company’s brand reputation but also supports environmental sustainability. Using materials like soy ink, which is less harmful than traditional inks and offers vibrant colors, contributes to reducing harmful emissions and promotes the use of renewable resources.
Medicine Packaging Options
For pharmaceutical applications, options range from fold-over blister packs, which secure individual tablets and prevent tampering, to larger folding cartons designed to house and display multiple medicine containers effectively. These packaging solutions ensure both security and professional presentation of healthcare products.
This overview addresses the core aspects and frequently asked questions within the box printing industry, emphasizing the customization and flexibility available in modern packaging solutions.
