Packaging your subscribers post and re-order
Custom mailer boxes built for monthly drop schedules. Inside print that drives social shares, color-consistent reorders, and a saved-dieline workflow so your team never starts from scratch.
Built for brands that ship every month
A subscription box is not a one-time project. It is a recurring production commitment. We built our workflow around that reality so your team can focus on curation, not re-speccing boxes.
Reorder workflow built for monthly drops
Your structural dieline stays on file. Submit new artwork before each drop and your boxes ship in 7 to 10 business days without repeating the full setup process.
Inside print that gets shared on social
Subscribers open your box on camera. A branded inside print turns that moment into organic reach. Color on the interior adds roughly 30 to 40 percent to unit cost and pays back in UGC.
Consistent color across every reorder
Your brand colors are Pantone-referenced and archived with your dieline. Each production run is matched to your approved color reference before it ships.
Finishes that photograph well
Soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, and spot UV make your box look premium in unboxing videos and product shots. We recommend the finish combination that suits your brand and budget.
Inserts and cards every month
Product spotlight cards, subscriber notes, and seasonal inserts produced on the same order cycle as your boxes. Unique design each month, same fast turnaround.
Formats from 50 to 5,000 units per drop
We produce for brands shipping 50 boxes a month and for brands shipping 5,000. The dieline and reorder workflow scale with you without changing suppliers.
Three formats for every subscription need
Choose the corrugated format that fits your product weight and brand positioning. All three support inside print, full-color outside, and our monthly reorder workflow.

From first order to monthly drop, without the re-setup
After your first production run, we archive everything. New drops require only new artwork and an approval, not a full re-spec process.
We save your dieline
After your first order, we archive your structural spec, color profile, and approved reference print. You do not re-spec from scratch for every monthly drop.
You send new artwork
For monthly design changes, send updated artwork 20 days before your drop date. We generate a fresh proof within 48 business hours for your approval.
You approve and we print
Approve the proof and we go to print matched to your saved color reference. Reorders on saved dielines ship in 7 to 10 business days.
Ships before your drop date
Boxes arrive ready to pack. We include packing slips and can coordinate with your 3PL on delivery timing if needed.
The moment subscribers share on social
Inside print turns opening into marketing you do not have to pay for.

Subscription box packaging, answered
The questions subscription brand operators ask us most before placing their first order.
What is the minimum order for custom subscription boxes?
Our minimum on mailer boxes is 50 units. Most subscription brands order between 250 and 2,000 units per monthly drop. We hold your dieline on file so reorders ship from the same spec every time.
Can I change the design every month?
Yes. We keep your structural spec on file and you supply new artwork before each drop. We produce a fresh proof for every new design, and you approve before we go to print.
How do you keep colors consistent across reorders?
We print to Pantone-referenced color standards and archive your color profile with your dieline. Each production run is matched to your approved reference sheet before we ship.
Can you print on the inside of subscription mailer boxes?
Yes. Inside print is one of the most effective unboxing upgrades for subscription brands. The customer opens the box and sees your brand before they see the product. Inside print adds roughly 30 to 40 percent to the unit cost.
Do you produce inserts and cards for subscription boxes?
Yes. We produce printed insert cards, product spotlights, and thank you cards that ship with your boxes. Each insert is quoted separately and can carry a unique design every month.
How long does production take for a monthly reorder?
Reorders on a saved dieline ship in 7 to 10 business days for digital print runs. Offset runs on 500 or more units take 12 to 15 business days. We recommend placing your order at least 20 days before your drop date.
