Custom Shopify mailer boxes for DTC ecommerce orders

DTC packaging workflow

Make the package fit the product, the customer and the shipping route.

For an online brand, the shipping box may be the first physical brand touchpoint after checkout. If your products are made in China, the box, insert, card, label and carton plan can be prepared before the goods leave China.

Mailer boxes

Printed mailer boxes with inside print, product dividers or simple paper inserts for online orders.

Retail product boxes

Folding cartons, sleeves or small gift boxes when the product needs a retail-ready inner box.

Insert and card planning

Paper inserts, dividers, belly bands and card space planned before final box size approval.

China-side handoff

Finished packaging can be packed with suitable products, or delivered to your supplier or warehouse in China.

Packaging choices

Choose the structure around the order experience.

China supplier coordination

Pack locally, or send packaging to the factory that makes your product.

Some brands only need finished packaging delivered to a China factory. Others want suitable products packed into branded boxes before freight handoff. Either way, the quote should include the product size, packing steps, carton plan and receiving route.

Useful details to send

  • Product photos, size, weight and quantity
  • Box style, insert needs, card needs and artwork files if available
  • China supplier address, packer address or warehouse contact
  • Whether products should be packed into the boxes in China
  • Carton, label and freight handoff notes from your route
