Description
Custom Apparel Boxes
Custom apparel boxes give clothing brands packaging that protects every folded piece and looks as intentional as the garment inside. We make printed mailers, folding cartons and rigid gift boxes for streetwear labels, boutiques, ecommerce stores and growing fashion brands across the US. Every box is sized to your products and printed with your logo, and orders start from around 100 units with free dieline support before you commit artwork.
Custom Apparel Boxes Built for Your Brand
Clothing is easy to damage and easy to forget. Stock cartons are rarely the right size, so tees slide around, folds crease, and hoodies arrive looking like returns. A generic brown box also does nothing to remind the customer who they bought from. Custom apparel boxes solve both problems. We build each box to the folded length, width and height of your garment, so pieces stay flat and neat from the warehouse to the doorstep.
Custom apparel boxes with logo printing turn every panel into brand space: the lid, the sides and the inside reveal. Choose a structure that matches how you sell, from mailers that ship on their own to two piece boxes for retail counters and rigid boxes for premium pieces. Leave room for tissue paper and a thank you card, and the unboxing becomes part of the product. For growing lines, custom apparel boxes wholesale runs keep one consistent look across every order, while a locked dieline makes seasonal reprints faster to approve.
Popular Apparel Box Styles
Apparel Mailer Boxes
Self locking corrugated boxes that ship without an outer carton. The flutes inside the board resist crushing, and the full exterior plus the inside of the lid can carry your branding. A practical pick for ecommerce brands shipping tees, hoodies and multi item orders.
Two Piece Apparel Boxes
A separate lid and base that lift apart for a classic retail open. The base holds folded garments firmly, while the lid gives a clean, flat surface for logo printing. Popular with boutiques and department store style packaging for shirts, sweaters and loungewear.
Luxury Apparel Boxes
Premium boxes for designer pieces, limited releases and high value orders. Thicker board, lift off or magnetic lids, and finishes such as foil and soft touch create a slower, more memorable open. A strong fit for dresses, outerwear and PR mailers.
Materials for Apparel Boxes
SBS Paperboard
Solid bleached sulfate (SBS) is a smooth white board that prints bright, accurate color and sharp photography. It suits folding cartons, two piece boxes and lightweight garments such as tees, scarves and accessories, where shelf appeal matters more than shipping strength.
Kraft Board
Kraft board has a natural brown surface and a tactile, craft forward look. It prints clean one or two color logos and pairs well with minimal branding. Brands with an earthy or handmade identity often choose it for mailers and gift boxes.
Corrugated Board
Corrugated board has a fluted middle layer that adds crush resistance during shipping. Choose it when the box travels through couriers on its own, or for heavier items like denim, jackets with hardware and bundled kits. Flute type is matched to garment weight when we quote.
Rigid Board
Rigid board is thick chipboard wrapped in printed or specialty paper, so the box holds its shape and does not fold flat. It is the usual choice for luxury apparel, gift sets and influencer PR boxes, often with magnetic or lift off lids.
Printing and Finishing Options
The right print and finish make printed apparel boxes feel like an extension of your label.
CMYK and Pantone printing: CMYK reproduces full color artwork and photography, while Pantone matching keeps brand colors consistent with your hangtags and labels.
Foil stamping: a metallic logo or detail in gold, silver or other foil colors that catches the light on premium lines.
Embossing and debossing: a raised or pressed logo that customers can feel, adding depth without extra ink.
Spot UV: a glossy coating applied to one area, such as a logo, so it stands out against a matte surface.
Soft touch lamination: a matte, velvet like finish that gives designer and luxury boxes a premium feel in the hand.
Matte and gloss finishing: matte gives a calm, modern look; gloss makes colors pop. Both add a layer of scuff protection.
Interior printing: a pattern or message inside the lid, revealed the moment the box opens.
Who Uses Our Custom Apparel Boxes?
Ecommerce and DTC clothing brands: need sturdy branded mailers that survive shipping and make online orders feel personal.
Boutiques and retail stores: use printed two piece and gift boxes so in store purchases leave the counter ready to give.
Luxury and designer labels: rely on rigid boxes and premium finishes to match the price point of the garment inside.
Subscription box companies: reuse one dieline every month and change only the artwork, which keeps packing fast and consistent.
Handmade and small batch makers: start with smaller runs that still look professional on Etsy, at markets and on social media.
Uniform, merch and wholesale suppliers: order custom apparel boxes wholesale for team kits, corporate apparel and retail partner shipments.
