In-House Production
Custom PR kit boxes turn a campaign package into a clear, coordinated brand encounter, helping each item feel intentionally selected and ready to represent your message. When a kit reaches its recipient, the box has only a brief moment to explain what the campaign stands for. Custom sizing, structure, print and interior arrangement can turn separate products or samples into one recognizable story. The outside sets the tone before opening, while the first view inside helps the recipient understand how the contents relate. That continuity supports a more considered handoff, delivery arrival and opening experience without relying on loose, generic packaging. We build PR kit boxes around the impression, access and product sequence your campaign requires. Whether the kit is mailed, presented in person or prepared for a launch, the goal is to make the package feel coherent from the first visible panel through the final item inside. You can shape the box around your campaign identity instead of forcing the campaign into a standard format. That result is supported by practical production choices: paperboard, kraft, rigid greyboard or supported corrugated structures; exterior and interior printing; matte, gloss, soft-touch, foil, embossing, debossing and raised effects; plus custom-cut foam or board inserts. Artwork checking, dieline support and a digital proof help connect the approved design to production, while the structure is confirmed around the actual contents and intended arrangement.

PR KIT FORMAT OPTIONS
Choose a Format That Carries the Campaign
A PR kit should be chosen around how it will travel, how many pieces it must organize and what the recipient should see first. Rigid formats can give an important launch greater physical presence, while paperboard and supported corrugated routes can create a lighter campaign package for handoff or delivery. Sleeves, two-piece structures, magnetic closures, windows and custom inserts each change access, arrangement and the order of discovery. The right route is the one that keeps the contents secure, gives the campaign a clear visual identity and makes opening feel planned rather than improvised.
➜
Magnetic Rigid Kits
A rigid setup box with a magnetic closure gives high-importance campaign contents a substantial frame and a controlled first reveal, with room for coordinated exterior, interior and insert details.
- Rigid greyboard construction
- Magnetic closing structure
- Exterior and interior printing
- Foam or board inserts
Choose this route when the package should feel deliberate before the recipient reaches the first item.

➜
Two-Piece Presentation Kits
A separate lid and base create a clean opening sequence for grouped products or samples, while rigid, paperboard or kraft construction lets the physical character match the campaign.
- Lid-and-base configuration
- Planned product arrangement
- Full-panel brand artwork
- Handoff or campaign delivery
The removable lid gives the complete kit a single, composed first view.

➜
Sleeve-and-Tray Kits
A printed sleeve adds campaign identity before the inner tray is revealed, making this format useful when the opening should move in clear stages rather than expose everything at once.
- Sliding sleeve format
- Tray-based product fit
- Outside and inside print
- Guided staged opening
Use the sleeve to introduce the message, then let the tray organize the product story.

➜
Roll-End Mailer Kits
Roll-end mailer structures combine a presentation-focused opening with supported corrugated construction, helping mailed campaign kits arrive in a box designed around the products and the brand.
- Supported corrugated board
- Roll-end closing style
- Branded exterior surfaces
- Built for campaign mailing
This route carries the same visual direction from shipment arrival into the opening moment.

➜
Peel-and-Seal Launch Mailers
A peel-and-seal mailer gives campaign teams a defined closing method, while a tear-strip route can make the recipient’s first access clear and easy to understand.
- Peel-and-seal closure
- Optional tear-strip access

Briefcase-Style PR Kits
A cardboard briefcase mailer adds a carryable, presentation-led shape for kits intended for in-person handoff or movement between campaign moments, with branding across the visible panels.
- Briefcase mailer structure
- Paper or ribbon handle
- Custom printed panels
- Handoff-friendly format
The handle and shaped profile make the kit feel prepared for presentation rather than ordinary transport.

Windowed Sample Kits
A die-cut window can reveal a selected product, color or campaign detail before opening, while the remaining contents stay arranged inside the box for a cleaner preview.
- Custom die-cut window
- PVC window patching
- Insert-led arrangement
- Pre-opening product view
Use the window to give one campaign element priority without revealing the entire kit.

➜
Custom-Shape Campaign Kits
A custom-shaped paperboard, kraft or rigid structure can align the box more closely with the campaign idea, provided the shape also supports practical fit and opening.
- Custom structural profile
- Product-led sizing
- Printed brand continuity
- Planned access and reveal
The strongest custom shape supports recognition, practical handling and use, not novelty alone.
Customize NowMATERIAL-LED KIT CHARACTER
Build the Right Feel Behind the Campaign
The board behind a PR kit sets its physical character before the recipient studies the artwork. Smooth paperboard can keep detailed campaign graphics clear, kraft can support a more natural or craft-led direction, rigid greyboard can add weight and presence to a high-importance kit, and supported corrugated material can carry the same identity into a mailer-style format. Choose the material by the impression, handling and arrangement the campaign requires—not by thickness alone.
SBS Paperboard for Clear Campaign Graphics
Smooth SBS paperboard supports detailed full-color printing, controlled brand colors and crisp information across the outside or inside panels. It suits PR kits that need a clean, polished surface while remaining practical for custom shapes, sleeves, trays or folding structures.
Kraft for a Natural, Tactile Direction
Kraft gives the package a visibly natural paper character that can support craft-led, understated or product-origin storytelling. White ink and full-color printing can create strong contrast while keeping the kraft surface central to the campaign’s identity.
Rigid Greyboard for Greater Physical Presence
Rigid greyboard gives a PR kit a more substantial feel and can support magnetic closures, two-piece structures, overwrapping and custom inserts. It works when the campaign package should feel important in the hand and hold its arrangement with greater firmness.
Corrugated Board for Branded Mailer Formats
Supported corrugated board suits PR mailer, presentation and kit-box formats that need more structure during delivery. E-flute, B-flute, F-flute and micro-flute options are available, allowing the board route to be matched to the product configuration without positioning the box as a large commodity shipping carton.
CAMPAIGN IDENTITY IN PRINT
Make the Whole PR Kit Read as One Brand
A PR kit often has to connect several products, messages or campaign pieces before the recipient reaches the contents. Custom printing can give the complete package one recognizable visual system: keep the campaign name visible, separate product groups through controlled color, and carry the same brand cues across the lid, sides, base and interior. CMYK, PMS or spot color, digital, offset and flexographic printing, white ink on kraft, metallic ink and inside printing provide the production routes. The value is a kit that reads as one coordinated campaign rather than a collection of unrelated items.
- Make the campaign recognizable at first sight
- Keep every product visibly connected
- Use each panel with a purpose
- Separate variants without losing brand continuity
- Continue the visual story inside
- Stay consistent across handoff and delivery
SURFACE DETAILS WITH PURPOSE
Decide What the Recipient Notices First
A PR kit can use several finishes and still feel visually unfocused. The better approach is to decide what the recipient should notice first and how the surface should support the campaign’s intended character. Matte, gloss, soft-touch, foil, spot UV, embossing, debossing and raised effects can calm the package, sharpen a selected message or add tactile emphasis. Each finish should serve the campaign hierarchy rather than compete for attention.
-
Set the Overall Campaign MoodMatte or soft-touch lamination can give a restrained, considered feel, while gloss can support brighter artwork and stronger surface clarity. Choose the overall treatment according to the campaign character the box needs to communicate before any smaller detail is noticed.
-
Direct Attention to the Right Detail
Foil, embossing, debossing, spot UV or raised effects can give a logo, campaign title or selected message greater visual and tactile weight. The purpose is to create a clear point of attention, not to decorate every available panel.
-
Distinguish a Launch or Limited Campaign
Selective foil, raised print or surface contrast can help a launch, seasonal program or special release feel distinct from the core brand while keeping the same visual system recognizable across the kit.
CARRY THE CAMPAIGN INSIDE
Turn Opening Into a Guided Campaign Reveal
The outside of a PR kit creates an expectation, but the arrangement inside decides whether that expectation continues. Loose products, mixed samples or disconnected inserts can make the campaign harder to understand. Printed internal surfaces, custom-cut foam or board inserts, dividers and considered spacing can give each item a clear place and control what becomes visible first. The result is a more coherent introduction to the campaign from opening through product selection.
-
Continue Keep the Campaign Moving
Carry relevant colors, artwork or short campaign messaging onto the inside panels so the identity established on the exterior remains present when the box opens. Interior printing can connect the first reveal to the same brand direction.
-
Guide Make Every Item Easy to Read
Use foam, paperboard, kraft, corrugated or cardboard inserts to separate products, samples or components by size and purpose. A planned arrangement helps the recipient understand what belongs together without searching through a loose assortment.
-
Reward Shape the First Reveal
Control which item, message or product group appears first, then plan how the remaining pieces are lifted or removed. A deliberate sequence can make the kit easier to explore while preserving the campaign’s intended order of attention.

PLANNING YOUR PR KIT Move From Campaign Idea to Production-Ready Kit
A strong PR kit begins with decisions that can be translated into a workable structure, approved artwork and a realistic production plan. Before pricing or finalizing the design, define what the box must hold, how it will be presented or mailed, how many versions are required and what the recipient should encounter first. The steps below help turn the campaign idea into production-ready specifications without inventing dimensions or forcing the contents into an unsuitable stock format.
-
Plan the Contents Before the Box
Start with the actual kit inventory. Record the length, width and height of each product or component, including any wrapping or inner container that will remain in place. Note the pack count, whether items should sit side by side or in layers, and how the recipient should remove them. Irregular shapes, tall closures and mixed product sizes may require additional clearance or a custom insert. The structure should be confirmed around the complete arrangement rather than a single item. This helps the box, insert and opening sequence work together and reduces the risk of approving artwork before the fit plan is settled.
-
Match the Structure to the Campaign Route
Choose the format according to the kit’s main journey. A rigid magnetic or two-piece box may suit an important handoff or presentation, while a paperboard or supported corrugated mailer can support campaign delivery. Sleeve-and-tray, roll-end, peel-and-seal, tear-strip, briefcase and windowed routes each change packing, access and the order of discovery. The best choice is not automatically the most elaborate. It is the structure that gives the contents an appropriate physical frame, keeps the arrangement practical and supports the intended visibility moment. Large commodity shipping-carton requirements should be handled separately from branded PR mailer and presentation formats.
-
Build the Insert Around Fit and Removal
Foam, paperboard, kraft, corrugated and cardboard inserts can be die cut around different products, components and shapes. Decide whether the insert should separate items, hold them at one level, create sections or guide a particular first reveal. Removal matters as much as fit: the recipient should be able to lift each item without damaging the product or disrupting the rest of the kit. Provide the product dimensions, pack count and preferred arrangement before the insert is finalized. Where practical, the structure, insert and opening should be reviewed as one system rather than as separate purchasing decisions.
-
Prepare Artwork for Every Visible Surface
Map the campaign across the panels that will actually be used: front, back, top, bottom, sides, outside and inside. Dieline and artwork support are available, including template help, artwork checking, resizing, bleed and safe-zone assistance. Accepted production files include AI, PDF, PSD and EPS. Keep essential copy, campaign marks and product information within the approved safe area, and allow the required bleed to extend beyond the trim lines. The dieline should match the confirmed box size and structure before final approval. Supported jobs carry no die or plate fee. Design support remains focused on preparing the packaging artwork for production rather than replacing a complete branding service.
-
Review Proofs and Prototype Conditions
A digital proof is available for every approved order. Use it to check artwork placement, panel order, copy and the relationship between outside and inside printing before production begins. Printing should not be treated as approved until the required artwork and structure confirmations are complete. A physical prototype may be available for a qualifying bulk or wholesale project. Where approved, its cost may be adjusted into the resulting order. A digital proof is not a physical prototype, and prototype availability does not replace the applicable minimum production quantity.
-
Plan Quantity, Production and Distribution
Paperboard, cardstock, kraft and supported corrugated PR kit orders may start from 50 boxes. Supported rigid-box orders may start from 25 boxes, including rigid formats with magnetic closures or foam inserts where the selected specification is approved. These starting quantities do not automatically remove relevant customization choices. Per-unit pricing generally improves as quantity increases, with more visible differences often appearing around 500 units; no fixed saving percentage should be assumed. Production normally takes 4–6 business days after payment, final artwork approval and structure confirmation. Production-ready jobs are generally planned to print and ship within 7 business days. Shipping transit time is separate, while complex multi-design orders may require a separately confirmed schedule. One order can also be shipped to multiple addresses, which can support coordinated campaign distribution. Bring the complete content list, preferred arrangement, delivery or handoff route, artwork files, quantity and destination plan into the quote conversation. That gives the production team enough information to recommend a structure, prepare the dieline and confirm a schedule around the approved campaign requirements.
PR KIT ORDERING QUESTIONS
Answers Before You Plan, Print and Distribute
Yes. The box and insert can be planned around several products, samples or components rather than one standard item. Provide the size of each piece, the pack count, any inner wrapping and the order in which the contents should appear. Foam, paperboard, kraft, corrugated or cardboard inserts can then separate the items and give each one a defined position. The final structure should be confirmed around the complete arrangement so the fit, removal and first reveal work together.
Guidance is available because the right style depends on the contents, weight, arrangement and delivery route. Supported corrugated roll-end, peel-and-seal or tear-strip mailers can combine branded panels with a delivery-focused structure. Paperboard routes may suit lighter kits, while rigid magnetic or two-piece formats can add more physical presence when the presentation itself carries greater importance. The choice should be made after the product list, insert plan and intended opening are clear.
Yes. Printing can continue across the inside surfaces as well as the front, back, top, bottom and outside panels. This lets the campaign colors, artwork or short message remain visible after the box opens instead of ending at the exterior. CMYK, PMS or spot color, digital, offset and flexographic printing are available, along with white ink on kraft and metallic ink. The final route depends on the selected material, structure and approved artwork.
Yes. Foam and board-based inserts can be die cut around different products, components and shapes. The insert can separate items, create sections, keep products at a consistent level or guide the first reveal. To plan it properly, provide the dimensions of every item, any inner container or wrapping, the pack count and the preferred arrangement. The team can then connect the insert plan to the box size, opening and removal clearance before the structure is approved.
Yes. A smaller campaign can begin with packaging built around its own products and brand direction without committing to a large first run. Paperboard, cardstock, kraft and supported corrugated PR kits may start from 50 boxes, while supported rigid formats may start from 25. Relevant choices such as custom sizing, exterior or interior printing, finishes and inserts remain available where they suit the approved structure and production specification. This gives a growing brand access to a coordinated campaign package instead of a generic stock box.
Yes. Dieline or template support, artwork checking, resizing, bleed and safe-zone assistance are available. Production files can be supplied in AI, PDF, PSD or EPS format. The artwork should be built on the dieline for the confirmed box size and structure, with essential copy kept inside the safe area and required bleed extended beyond the trim. Design support can help prepare the packaging file for production, but it should not be treated as a complete branding-agency service.
Yes. A digital proof is available for every approved order before production. Use it to check the artwork placement, panel order, copy and the relationship between exterior and interior printing. Production should not begin until the required artwork and structure approvals are complete. A physical prototype may also be available for a qualifying bulk or wholesale project, and its cost may be adjusted into the resulting order where approved. A digital proof is not the same as a physical prototype.
Production normally takes 4–6 business days after payment, final artwork approval and structure confirmation. Production-ready jobs are generally planned to print and ship within 7 business days. Shipping transit time is separate, so this should not be read as guaranteed seven-day delivery. A complex order with many designs or setup changes may need a separately confirmed schedule. Final timing is best confirmed after the structure, quantity and artwork are ready for review.
Yes. The same order can be shipped to multiple addresses, which can support a coordinated campaign distribution plan. Share the destination list, quantities for each address and any packing or labeling differences early in the quote process. The production and shipping plan can then be reviewed against the total quantity, design count and schedule. Shipping transit remains separate from production time, and a complex multi-design or multi-destination order may require a specifically confirmed timeline.
