Help topics

Is there a minimum order?

Minimums are low and set per job rather than fixed. Tell us the quantity you need and the written quote will say whether it works for that size and print.

How do I place an order?

Ask for a quote with your size, board, print and quantity. Approve the quote, approve the free proof, pay, and production begins.

Can I reorder the same box later?

Yes. We keep your size and artwork on file, so a reorder only needs the quantity. Any change to the artwork gets a fresh proof.

Can I change the quantity after the quote?

Yes, before you approve the proof. We send an updated written quote for the new quantity.

What file do you need for artwork?

Vector files such as PDF, AI, EPS or SVG are best. A high-resolution PNG or JPG works for logos and photos, and we tell you at proof stage if anything will print soft.

Do you charge for the design proof?

No. The proof is free, and you can ask for changes until it is right.

What does a proof show?

Your artwork placed on the flat net of the box at its real size, with fold lines, cut lines and the inside and outside faces marked.

Can you set up artwork if I only have a logo?

Yes. Send the logo and tell us where it should sit. We lay it out on the box and show you the result on the proof.

Can I get a sample?

Ask when you request a quote and we will talk through what is possible for your size and board. The free proof also shows exactly how your print sits on the box before anything is made.

Do I send the inside or outside size?

Always the inside size, in millimetres, as length x width x height. We work out the outside from the board you choose.

How much space should I leave around my product?

Add 3 to 5 mm a side to the product's measurements. Less and the lid may bow; more and the item can move.

Can you copy the size of a box I already use?

Yes. Measure the inside of that box, or send a photo with a ruler beside it, and we quote the same size.

Can you print white ink on brown kraft?

Yes. A white underprint goes down first so colours on top stay bright, or white can be used on its own as a single colour.

Should I choose a matt or gloss varnish?

Matt gives a soft, flat finish that hides fingerprints. Gloss makes colours look richer and adds a slight shine.

Will the printed colour match my screen?

Close, but not exact. Screens glow and board absorbs ink, and kraft tints every colour slightly warmer. Give us colour references if a shade must be matched closely.

How long does delivery take?

Delivery is free and tracked, and takes 2 to 3 working days to UK mainland addresses after the 4 to 6 working days of production.

Do you deliver outside the UK?

No. We deliver to UK mainland addresses only.

Is delivery tracked?

Yes. Every order goes out tracked and we send you the tracking details when it leaves.

Do the boxes arrive made up?

No. They arrive flat, creased and strapped in bundles. Each box folds up in a few seconds when you pack it.

Can I collect my boxes from your office?

No. All orders go out by tracked delivery, which is free to UK mainland addresses.

How do I pay for my order?

Payment details come with your approved quote. No payment is taken on this website, and production starts once payment is received.

Is VAT included in the price?

Your written quote shows how VAT is treated and the total you pay, so the figure on the quote is the figure on the invoice.

When do I pay, before or after the proof?

After you approve the proof and before production starts. You never pay for a box you have not seen on a proof.

What if my boxes arrive misprinted or damaged?

Tell us within 10 days with photos. We reprint or refund the affected boxes. The returns and reprints policy page has the full steps.

Can I return boxes I no longer need?

Custom-made boxes cannot be returned for a change of mind, because they are cut and printed to your order.

What counts as a misprint?

Print that differs from the approved proof, such as wrong artwork, a missing colour or print in the wrong place. Normal colour variation between screen and board is not a misprint.

What if I spot a mistake on the proof after approving it?

Contact us straight away. If production has not started we can usually correct it; once printed, errors on an approved proof are not covered by a free reprint.
