Apparel Packaging

Custom Apparel Boxes For Modern Fashion Brands and Businesses 

Packaging is the first thing your customer holds before even feeling the fabric or reading the label. Their first impression of your product starts with it. A well-constructed apparel box explains your brand story. At Plus Printers, we manufacture custom apparel boxes that explain your brand effectively. We build these boxes for clothing brands, e-commerce stores, and fashion boutiques. 

We offer flexible MOQs with free design support from scratch. So, you do not have to worry about the artwork. Our expert design team will create exactly what is in your mind. We offer a free printed sample pack so you can touch and feel the exact box before starting the bulk production. We have a fast turnaround of 6-8 working days for urgent orders. 

Custom Apparel Boxes are Part of Your Product 

Fashion brands spend a lot of money on retail displays for a reason. Presentation matters in the clothing industry more than in any sector. When a customer buys a shirt or hoodie from you, they buy the specific feel of that piece of clothing. They have already assessed the product's quality by just holding the box. 

If your packaging is premium and it matches the quality of the product inside the box, you have made an impression. This first impression matters the most for apparel brands. At Plus Printers, we help you create custom apparel boxes that speak for your brand. We customize boxes for every type of clothing in your brand.

Custom Apparel Packaging Boxes for Every Clothing Collection 

Every fabric has different features and designs. So, it requires a unique packaging solution. The packaging for every fabric collection depends on fabric thickness, retail presentation, and brand positioning. Selecting the right packaging box style is crucial for protecting garments from wrinkles, dust, and moisture. It also ensures that the product reaches the customer in the best condition. Our packaging experts help you design these boxes according to the properties of your garments.  

Mailer Style Boxes for Everyday Fashion 

Custom apparel mailer boxes are the perfect choice for DTC brands and online boutiques. Roll-end tuck-front (RETF) construction means that the box will self-lock without any tape. So, the box reaches the customers cleanly without losing its shape.  

We customize these boxes with different materials according to your product and shipping requirements. Corrugated construction works well for heavier garments such as hoodies and sweatshirts. Our packaging experts guide you with the right printing technique suitable for your material and box style. 

Two-piece Boxes for Dress Shorts and Formal Wear 

Two-piece boxes with a lid and base are the standard format for premium garments. They are gift-ready boxes and are ideally used for dress shirts and formal wear. These luxury apparel boxes are the perfect choice for premium and limited-edition items. 

Window boxes for Knitwear and Gift sets 

Some garments sell themselves visually, and knitwear is one of them. A neatly folded knitwear item appeals to the customer when it is visible from the outside. Window apparel boxes are the ideal choice for such clothing accessories and gift sets. We customize apparel gift boxes with a window cutout to build anticipation of your gifts. 

Folding Boxes for Clothing Accessories 

Every apparel product needs a unique box structure. Socks, underwear, belts, and other small accessories are among them. Underwear boxes are designed in flat-pack folding cartons because they are cost-effective. On the other hand, custom lingerie boxes are designed with premium rigid boxes to give a premium feel to the box.

Our packaging experts guide you with the most suitable option for these clothing accessories. We have worked with 500+ clothing brands and designed packaging for every type of collection.

Choosing the Right Type of Box for Different Garments 

The selection of the right box is crucial for preventing wrinkles and the presentation of the garments. Our packaging experts guide you to choose the right box style for your specific clothing category. 

T-shirts and Casual Wear Boxes 

T-shirts and casual wear garments are mostly packaged in lightweight folding cartons or paper boxes. These garment boxes are easy to customize. However, if you are looking for additional protection for e-commerce packaging, you can choose corrugated mailer boxes. 

Sweatshirts and Hoodies Boxes 

Sweatshirts and hoodies are bulkier garments, so they require stronger packaging. Corrugated apparel boxes are the ideal choice for these boxes. Our packaging experts help you customize these boxes according to your sales channel. 

Dresses and Luxury Fashion Boxes 

Luxury garments require packaging that reflects their positioning. Premium bridal dresses, limited-edition collections, and designer garments are commonly presented in magnetic closure rigid boxes. These boxes include ribbon pulls, soft-touch, and custom inserts to enhance the presentation and appeal of the dresses.    

Sportswear Boxes 

Sportswear is often shipped directly to the customers. Corrugated mailer boxes are the perfect choice for these garments. We customize these boxes with moisture-resistant coatings and properly sized packaging to prevent shifting during transit.

Apparel Box Size Guide for Popular Clothing Products

When you are buying boxes for your garments, the right sizing matters a lot. It can save you a lot of money and keep your products presentable during shipping. If your customer receives a dress shirt with a crushed collar, they are surely not going to buy again from you. So, measuring the accurate folding dimension matters a lot. We customize these boxes according to the size and dimensions of your clothing products. 

How to Measure the Right Box Size for Different Garments  

First, fold the garment exactly as you intend to pack it. Now measure the fold length and width with the stack height if you are packaging multiple garments. Add half an inch to the dimension, and boom, this is the interior box size. When you are customizing the box, make sure you provide these details. It helps in preventing crush marks. 

Similarly, bulkier garments compress differently under box pressure. So, you have to fold and compress the box by yourself before taking the size for these garments. However, if you are not sure how your garments will ship to the customer, order a free sample box from Plus Printers and ship the garment to yourself. It will give you an idea of how your packaging will work in the real environment. We build every box to the exact dimensions of your box. So, there will be no inconvenience when the box reaches the customer. 

Packaging Materials For Custom Apparel Boxes 

Packaging material is the single most important component of your packaging. It directly affects the appearance, printability, and durability of your box. So, choosing the right material help you position your brand effectively in the market. Our experienced packaging professionals guide you with the best suitable option according to your budget and branding needs. We offer:

Rigid Chipboard 

Rigid chipboard is the first choice for premium apparel packaging. This material retains its shape and offers exceptional durability. That is why it's used for designer fashion dresses and bridal collections. 

Corrugated Board 

A corrugated board is made of fluted paper sandwiched between linerboards. This structure provides this material with superior stacking and impact resistance. It is mostly used for e-commerce apparel shipping because it protects the garments from compression and damage during transportation. You can customize these boxes with E-Flute and B-Flute structural strength depending on your shipping and branding requirements.

Kraft Paperboard 

Kraft paperboard is the top priority of the sustainable clothing brands. This material has an earthy texture that gives a natural feel to the garments. It is mostly used for handmade garments, baby clothing, and accessories. 

SBS Paperboard 

SBS paperboard offers a smooth white surface that produces excellent and vibrant colors. This material is mostly used by premium retail apparel brands because visual presentation has an important role in retail. 

Along with the material, the right GSM thickness is crucial for maintaining the price of every box. We have worked with 500+ apparel brands, so we know how much the packaging cost matters. We help you choose the right board thickness that protects your garments and keeps the shipping cost low.  

Printing and Finishes That Match Your Brand's Standard

The packaging looks exceptional if the right printing and finishing are selected. At Plus Printers, we manufacture custom printed apparel boxes using advanced printing methods and decorative finishes to enhance the appeal of your luxury and retail packaging.  

• Offset printing is a suitable choice for premium retail fashion brands that want exceptional print quality with consistent color reproduction. This printing method is the first choice for brands launching seasonal collections that must meet brand guidelines. We offer PMS color matching for exact brand colors on every box. 
• Digital printing allows you to create personalized artwork and small batch orders effectively. It is ideal for short production runs and fast turnaround times. We offer flexible order quantities that are suitable for startups and boutiques offering a limited-edition collection.
• Flexographic printing is the best choice for high-volume corrugated and shipping boxes. It is the ideal option for custom apparel boxes wholesale. It is cost-efficient and suitable for logistics-focused packaging. 

We also offer CMYK and PMS printing for full color production with accuracy. Our packaging experts guide you with the most suitable printing method for your material and budget.

Premium Finishes 

• Lamination adds durability and visual appeal to your packaging. Matte lamination reduces the glare, and gloss lamination enhances color vibrancy. These finishes are mostly used by retail brands that want to grab customer attention. However, soft-touch lamination is frequently used by premium fashion brands because it increases the tactile experience. 
• Foil stamping applies metallic or pigmented foil on specific design elements. This finishing is relatively expensive, so it is mostly used by premium brands. 
• Embossing and debossing raise and press design elements into and above the packaging surface. Luxury brands combine foil stamping with embossing to create distinctive branding elements. 
• Spot UV highlights specific design elements and logos to create a glossy texture that customers can touch and feel. It is a popular choice for retail custom apparel boxes with logo and unique design elements.

Apparel brands do not like to make decisions blindly. We understand this, so we provide a free sample with your selected material, printing, and finishing. It allows you to touch and feel the box and make an informed decision rather than blindly trusting the digital proof and 3D mockup.
