Common Questions
This depends on many factors, including the size of your products and how you want to pack them out. We offer the two most common types of box on our website box builder, the Regular Slotted Container (RSC) and the C-Series Mailer Box. The RSC is a standard shipping box, where the flaps meet in the middle and then are taped closed. The Mailer box doesn’t require taping, as it auto-locks closed. Custom mailer boxes make great custom printed apparel boxes, garment boxes, personalized clothing boxes, custom t shirt boxes and more!
If you need help selecting a box style, or need a style that is not on the website, please contact us.
The difference between flexographic and digital printing is that flexographic printing requires printing plates and digital requires no plates. For flexographic printing, the printing plates are usually thin sheets of aluminum that are engraved with the artwork or design. During the printing process, ink is applied to the plate and then pressed on to the corrugated board. Printing plates need to be created every time there is new designs or artwork.
With digital web press printing, there are no printing plates need. The ink is applied to the corrugate directly using an inkjet printer (think of it like home inkjet printer on steroids). Digital printing is a great option if you’re looking for high quality print on short-run boxes (500 or less) and a quick turnaround time.
