Custom Garment Box: Wholesale Apparel Packaging for Clothing Brands

When a garment arrives creased, crushed, or in a plain shipping carton, it doesn't exactly make an impression. Does your packaging really show the quality of the contents of the box? In most cases, the answer is no for the clothes companies, and that's what the custom apparel box packaging exists to fill.

Packaging Hippo creates garment boxes that serve two purposes: protecting the product throughout shipping and handling, and showcasing the brand when the customer opens it. Fully customisable sizes, styles, and printing make your packaging a part of the product experience, not just a container it arrived in.

Why Custom Apparel Packaging Matters For Your Brand?

The first impression is a crucial one for clothing brands. The impression created is a real opportunity for you to make a statement with custom clothing packaging before the product even lands in the hands of your customers.

Builds Brand Identity

A uniform placement of logos, colors, finishes, and more throughout all custom printed apparel boxes makes them a brand moment. Customers do not forget boxes that look purposeful.

Creates a Memorable Unboxing Experience

A well-designed garment box with tissue paper, a divider, or a custom hang tag gives customers a reason to share their order online. That's free marketing every brand wants.

Protects Apparel During Transit

Having a well-designed garment box filled with tissue paper, a divider, or a custom hang tag will give customers a reason to take their order online. Free marketing – something that every brand desires.

Increases Perceived Value

Logos and high-quality finishes on boxes give visitors a sense of quality before they touch the product. Custom packaging always wins the perceived brand value.

Supports Sustainable Business Goals

The shopper today is more environmentally conscious, and eco-friendly packaging made of recyclable or recycled content materials resonates directly with them without compromising durability.

What Actually Determines Garment Box Performance?

The majority of apparel packaging pages are geared towards print and finish. But few speak of what really makes a garment box last in the real world: board weight and fold line durability. Garment boxes are treated differently from shipping boxes! They are opened and closed by the customer, reused and in some cases left flat-packed in a warehouse for weeks before a single unit ships.

There's another factor many buyers don't consider, which is storage time and humidity. Often apparel packaging is stored longer than a standard shipping box, particularly in inventory for seasonal drop or pre-order collections. A heavier paperboard, such as corrugate or coated stock, will maintain the crisp edges and shape even when extended periods of humidity are encountered; lighter paperboard can soften a little when exposed to extended humidity. This is especially true for brands that store product for more than a few weeks, where corrugated cardboard is better suited than uncoated paperboard. This is the detail that makes a garment box look retail-ready from the first order to the last one shipped, not just from a sample photo.

Choose From Every Type of Garment Box

Choose from various styles of packaging that match the way apparel is typically packed, shipped, and displayed.

Tuck Boxes

Tuck boxes without tape with interlocking flaps, fast and cheap for socks, shirts, or accessories. Perfect for brands looking for a fancy unboxing experience without resorting to a formal box.

Mailer Boxes

Mailer boxes are self-locking, can ship without an outer carton, and serve as a branded presentation for ecommerce orders.

Rigid Boxes

Rigid boxes don't fold down flat, and they have a retail-grade feel. Ideal for premium fashion boxes, gift boxes, or capsule collections where unboxing is an integral element of the package.

Gable Boxes

Gable boxes are great for boutique retail or in-store pickup orders that customers make by hand, and have a fold-up handle.

Pillow Boxes

Pillow boxes are compact and curved to fit smaller items of clothing, accessories, or packaging inserted in a larger box.

Display Boxes

Open window or open windowless designs for retail shelf display, allowing the product to sell itself without opening the box.

Eco-Friendly Materials For Every Apparel Brand

The world is moving towards sustainability at a rapid pace, and if a clothing brand fails to do so, it will lose out on customers who care about the environment. Packaging Hippo has a comprehensive material selection line to meet the packaging needs.

Corrugated Cardboard: Durable & Shipping-Grade

Corrugated cardboard is the shipping standard for garment boxes that endure various handling points and crushing and stacking pressures.

Kraft Paper: Eco-Friendly & Recyclable

Kraft paper is completely recyclable and biodegradable and offers a natural, minimalistic feel that appeals to direct-to-consumer and sustainable apparel brands.

Paperboard: Lightweight & Cost-Effective

Thinner and more flexible, paperboard is ideal for structured tuck boxes or gable boxes where the need for precision folding is greater than the need for shipping strength and durability. A no-brainer for new brands, as well as growing brands on a budget.

Customize Every Detail of Your Garment Box

This is where a custom apparel box turns into a real branding instrument when compared to merely a container.

Printing Options

Opt for digital printing when you're looking for a smaller quantity and quicker turnaround or offset printing when your order of apparel is wholesale and requires mass production, where the cost per unit is critical.

Finishing Options

Available are matte, gloss, and soft-touch laminations and custom finishes such as spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, and more to make your logo pop.

Custom Sizes

Each garment box can be made to your exact product size. The right size box will not only shield the product from damage, but it will also reduce shipping costs; the larger box means increased freight cost and the added void fill.

Inserts & Accessories

Last but not least, tissue paper, dividers, and custom hang tags enhance the unboxing experience, particularly when gifting a clothes box or multiple items at a time.

Online Design Tool

Upload artwork and see a preview of your custom printed apparel boxes before printing to avoid reprints due to dieline misalignment or color mismatches.
