Custom Packaging Boxes

What are custom packaging boxes?

Custom packaging boxes are boxes made to your product's exact dimensions and printed with your branding, instead of picked from a stock size. For most UAE businesses that ship or sell physical products, they are corrugated cartons or mailers that protect contents in transit and present the brand at the moment of delivery. A box sized to the product uses less void fill, reduces movement inside the carton and often lowers the volumetric weight couriers charge for.

Box styles in this range

Regular slotted cartons (RSC)

The standard flap-top carton used for warehousing, bulk distribution and heavier e-commerce orders. Custom RSC shipping boxes are made in single or double wall corrugated board and are usually sealed with tape.

Mailer boxes

Roll-end, tuck-front boxes that open like a lid, suited to direct-to-consumer orders and subscription boxes where the unboxing matters. Custom mailer boxes are made in white or kraft E-flute corrugated and can be printed outside and inside.

Tear-strip boxes

Custom tear-strip boxes use a peel-and-seal closure and a tear strip, so customers open them without a knife. A double adhesive strip option lets the same box be resealed for returns.

Self-locking boxes

Custom self-locking boxes fold and lock without tape, which speeds up packing and gives a clean finish for retail and gift orders.

Choosing the right material

• E-flute corrugated: a thin, fine flute with a smooth print surface. Common for mailers and lighter products such as cosmetics, apparel and accessories.
• B-flute corrugated: a thicker flute with more crush resistance for heavier items or longer courier routes.
• Single wall vs double wall: single wall suits most parcel shipments; double wall adds stacking strength for heavy, fragile or palletised goods.
• White vs kraft liner: white board makes colours look brighter; kraft gives a natural, earthy look and works well with one or two ink colours.

If you are unsure, send us the product weight, dimensions and how it will be shipped, and we will recommend a board grade with your quotation.

Printing and finishing options

• Flexographic printing (1–2 colour): practical for logos and simple artwork on shipping cartons.
• Full colour digital printing: for detailed graphics, photography and shorter runs.
• Inside printing: a message, pattern or instructions printed inside the lid for mailers and self-locking boxes.
• Finishes: matte or gloss lamination, spot UV, embossing, foil stamping and water-based varnish, depending on the box style.

Available print and finish combinations are listed on each product page.

How to order custom packaging boxes

1. Measure the product you are packing: internal length, width and height, plus any inserts or protective material.
2. Pick a box style based on how the box is used: storage and bulk shipping, direct-to-consumer delivery, or retail display.
3. Prepare your artwork as a vector file (AI, PDF or EPS) with fonts outlined. If you do not have artwork yet, describe what you need in your request.
4. Request a quote with quantity, size, material and printing details. Minimum order quantities, pricing and lead times are confirmed in your quotation.

Packaging for UAE and GCC deliveries

Parcels in the UAE often pass through warm warehouses, courier vans and doorstep handovers in high temperatures and humidity. Choosing the right flute and wall strength helps boxes keep their shape, and a closure that suits your packing process (tape, tear strip or self-lock) keeps orders secure on the way. Service across the GCC is available on request.
