Varnish
A transparent finishing layer available in gloss, satin, or matte effects. It enhances the printed surface and adds an extra layer of visual appeal and light protection.
A product box built for a recurring order, not a single run, with the approved dieline and specification retained so the next cycle matches the last one. Orders start from 100 units.
A subscription box is not really one order. It’s a series of them, shipped on a schedule, and the packaging question that raises isn’t the same one a single custom box order answers. A reorder that comes back a shade off, or a dieline that has to be redrawn from scratch because nobody kept the original file, undoes exactly the presentation build-up a subscriber has come to expect from cycle to cycle.
Your specification, dieline and artwork are kept on record between cycles, ready to print against again rather than rebuild from a blank page every time a new run falls due. That covers the structure and the base print files. Pantone references and CMYK values can be used to manage colour consistency, subject to normal variation caused by the chosen board, ink, coating and production method. Cycle-to-cycle consistency is real on that basis, but it is never described as pixel-perfect.
Paperboard, kraft, corrugated and rigid stock are all available, and the standard carton and mailer-style structures used across e-commerce packaging generally, tuck-end, auto-lock bottom and mailer builds among them, apply here too. Offset, digital and screen printing all suit different quantities and specifications. Matt and gloss lamination, foil stamping, embossing, debossing and spot UV are available finishes. An insert or divider can be added to hold multiple items in place inside the box. Custom Product Boxes With Inserts is the place to go if fitting several items securely is the main thing you need solved.
Design support is free. A digital 3D mock-up is free. There are no setup fees. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval. UK delivery is free.
Product Mailer Boxes and Product Shipping Boxes cover courier-durability specifically, a different question from the repeat-cycle consistency this page addresses. Not every buyer here is on a subscription schedule at all: for a single, one-off product box, Custom Product Boxes is the full range to browse instead.

Real feedback from customers who trust us with their custom packaging.
Clear answers about ordering, artwork, production, materials and delivery.
A mid-run design refresh doesn't force the whole specification back to zero. The retained dieline and base structure carry over, and only the parts you're actually changing, artwork, colourway or a seasonal detail, get respecified against it. Tell us what's changing and what should stay as-is.
Orders start from 100 units. The figure is counted per design, and a top-up run counts as an order against your existing design too, so it's held to the same minimum a full cycle's order would be. If the top-up also changes anything about the design itself, that's treated as its own specification.
Orders start from 100 units. Standard production takes 6 to 8 business days after approval.
An unlaminated paperboard construction may be easier to process through suitable paper-recycling streams than a heavily laminated alternative. Final recyclability depends on the full material and finishing specification and the facilities available locally.
