Custom Shirt Boxes That Match Your Brand’s Standards

When customers order clothes from an apparel brand, they are looking for more than a shirt that is just folded up. They also form their initial impression of your clothing and your care of each order based on the packaging. Here at Packaging Nova, we create packaging boxes for shirts to help preserve the quality of the product while it’s in transit and also make the unboxing experience enjoyable. There are a variety of materials, prints, and finishes available that will work with your clothing line. Packaging options are available for dress shirts, T-shirts, polo shirts, and formal shirts, and come in various sizes for different folding systems. Our Custom Boxes offer you the freedom to create your apparel product packaging the way you want that adheres to the quality of your brand and the expectations of your clients.

Key Takeaway

Custom shirt boxes are specially designed to help clothing brands neatly pack and present their products in package boxes that are suitable for their items. Packaging Nova offers custom size, printing, and material solutions for various shirt packaging requirements for businesses in the USA and Canada. We offer free design support, free shipping, and no minimum order quantity. You can also talk about the materials that are environmentally friendly in order to find the right material to employ with your clothing brand and packaging needs.

Materials for Custom Shirt Boxes

The type of material you select will make a difference in the appearance, texture, and curve of your shirt boxes. Kraft packaging, cardstock, rigid board, and corrugated board are available in a variety of strengths, flexibilities, and finishes. Depending on the type of shirt, its box design and the type of package (for retails, for e-commerce shipment or for clothing gifts) we help you to choose a material.

1. Cardstock and Paperboard

These materials are ideal for lightweight shirt boxes for retail, promotional, and everyday shirt orders. Logos, product information, and colors can be printed on the exterior panels. Final strength will be determined by the grade of the board and the construction of the box.

2. Kraft Paperboard

With the various shirt stock options, Kraft Boxes your shirts in naturally brown or clean white paper. It’s suitable for casual wear, simple t-shirts, and brands that like to go with a basic design. Recycled-content or recyclable options can be considered according to the specific material used.

3. Corrugated Board

Corrugated board is a construction made of flat liners with flutes in the middle that provide resistance to crushing and handling pressure. Ideal for online orders for shirts, multi-shirt packs, and shipping boxes. The type of flute and the strength of the board should correspond to the packed weight and conditions of shipping.

4. Rigid Board

Rigid Stock is firm and provides great texture when touching the box. It can be used for luxury shirt boxes, business gifts, designer clothes, and special collections. 

Shirt Box Styles for Different Packaging Needs

The correct box style will be determined by the purpose of the shirts being sold, packed, or presented. You can use folding cartons for all your retail shirts, and mailer boxes for online orders. Shirt gift boxes with rigid boxes or magnetic closure are more thoughtful gifts for birthdays, holidays, corporate gifts, or other occasions. Brands can also be used on sleeve and drawer boxes, window boxes, and select retail displays.

Custom Printing for Shirt Packaging

The same visual elements that appear on your clothing labels, website, and retail displays can be printed on your box. Printed Shirt Boxes aid in determining various collections of shirts and make sure the packaging stays consistent throughout your product line.

There are several methods of printing, such as:

• Lid printing: Print your brand name or logo on the lid or the cover of the front panel.
• Brand colours, patterns, illustrations, and collection graphics can be used for full-colour artwork.
• Minimal printing: Design should be simple, with a logo, a small line of text, or a single colour design.
• Inside print: Add a brand message, care reminder, or thank you note inside the lid, if the box structure permits.
• Product information: Add style name, size, collection name, or SKU as applicable. 

Finishes That Suit Your Shirt Box Design

Printing establishes the design, and a surface finish alters the appearance and texture of the box. For simple retail boxes, keep the surface plain, or for formal shirts and gifts, add select details to the packaging.

• Matte finish: Gives a low shine or soft finish to the printed surface.
• Gloss finish: Tends to give the print a shininess and can improve the colors of prints.
• Soft touch finish: Provides a velvety finish when paired with selected materials.
• Foil stamping: Adds a metallic element to logos, lettering, or smaller design elements.
• Embossing and debossing: Pumps or pushes portions of the design into the surface.
• Spot UV: Makes a certain area more shiny (logo or spot) whilst the rest of the background is less shiny.

Not all of the finishes are required on one box. If the design is crisp and one carefully selected finish is used, the logo can be all that is needed for a distinctive appearance of the packaging. Availability is subject to the box material and construction. 

Inserts and Details for a Neat Shirt Presentation

Use the little things in the box to help keep the shirt in place and to create a more uniform packing. The best additions are determined by the garment and whether it’s retail, gift, or delivery.

• Tissue paper: Allows the folded shirt to be wrapped and to be insulated from the inside of the shirt.
• Collar supports: Assist in keeping the collar on the dress shirt from getting distorted when packing and handling.
• Paperboard inserts: To separate several items or to hold a shirt with matching accessories.
• Branded belly bands: Fold and wrap around a shirt to show the logo, size, or collection name.
• Size and Product Cards: Provide staff with identification for garments and provide product information that is helpful for the customer.
• Thank-you cards: Include a brief brand message with online orders and gift packages.

Pick additions for a specific purpose. With too many inserts, packing may take longer, material cost will also increase, and the volume will increase within the box.
