What to prepare before ordering a custom box
A clear request begins with a short description of the product, the quantity and any available identity assets. Preparing these in advance helps define the size, material and finish more precisely.
Gather the essentials first
Before getting in touch, define what product will go inside the box and its approximate dimensions. That single detail guides most of the decisions that follow.
If identity files, a logo or the required copy are available, having them early speeds up the design stage and reduces the need for repeated revisions.
- The product type and its approximate dimensions.
- Identity files or a logo, if available.
Three steps for a clear brief
The core information can be organised into a short brief before contacting the team:
- The product type and its dimensions, as precisely as possible.
- The available identity, logo or copy.
- The required quantity and preferred materials and finishes for discussion.
What happens after you share the details?
After receiving the information, the BoxPrint team reviews it and discusses suitable options before preparing a quotation specific to the request.
- Reviewing the product, dimensions and presentation.
- Suggesting a structure, material and finish for discussion.
- Preparing a custom quotation based on the request details.
All of these decisions stay individual to each project and are defined after contact and a review of the details.
