Frequently Asked Questions
Do apparel boxes require tape or glue?No. Apparel boxes are two-piece boxes: the base has self-locking tabs that fold together in seconds, and the lid rests on top by gravity, so no tape or glue is needed. For added security during shipping, add a sticker seal or a ribbon around the box. Can I print custom branding on apparel boxes?Yes. White apparel boxes print best because optical brighteners give a bright white surface and vibrant color; kraft boxes can also be printed, but the kraft surface absorbs ink so colors appear more muted. Custom printing typically starts at a 250-500 box minimum — contact us for a quote. Are apparel boxes recyclable?Yes. Apparel boxes are constructed from recycled fibreboard chipboard and are fully recyclable with ordinary cardboard and paper waste, which makes them an eco-friendly retail packaging choice. What is the difference between chipboard apparel boxes and corrugated boxes?Chipboard, used in apparel boxes, is a lightweight rigid paperboard built for retail display and presentation, while corrugated board has a fluted inner layer for heavy-duty shipping protection. Use apparel boxes for light-to-medium clothing, and corrugated boxes for heavy items or long-distance shipping. How are apparel boxes shipped and stored?Apparel boxes ship flat and unassembled, which lowers freight cost and saves warehouse space, and they fold together in seconds when you are ready to pack. Store them flat until needed. What size apparel box do I need for a t-shirt, sweater, or shoes?A medium 11" x 8.5" x 1.5" apparel box fits a folded t-shirt, blouse, or folded pants; a large 15" x 9.5" x 2" box fits sweaters and outerwear; and a small 6" x 4" x 1" box fits accessories such as jewelry, socks, scarves, and ties. Medium and large boxes also hold lightweight shoes like flats, sandals, and sneakers — use a corrugated box for heavy boots or dress shoes. Styling Tips for Premium Apparel Packaging
- Tissue Paper: Wrap clothing in branded or colored tissue before boxing for a luxury feel
- Ribbon or Twine: Tie around the box exterior for a gift-ready presentation
