A box design to keep the costs low

A short run bespoke mailing box need not cost the earth to manufacture. The key is the design so that it is strong enough to protect the contents of the box  whilst also able to be mailed out using the most economic postal rates. This box does not require any gluing therefore they can be delivered flat. They are then folded and made up as and when required. This means there is one less finishing process to pay for whilst also allowing the boxes to be stored without taking up a lot of valuable space. Using a one sided box board, these bespoke mailing boxes can be printed to a high standard to help promote your brand.
