In-House Production
Custom press kit boxes help your campaign feel organized, intentional, and unmistakably yours from the first handoff or delivery through the final product reveal. Press kits compete for attention before a recipient reads the first card or handles the first sample. Customization turns a loose collection into one coordinated brand experience: structure gives every item a clear place, exterior and interior printing connect the campaign story, and selected finishes guide attention to the name, message, or launch cue that matters most. Whether the kit is delivered to media, creators, partners, clients, or event guests, the box helps recipients understand the campaign quickly and explore its contents in a deliberate order. We build custom press kit boxes around your contents, distribution plan, and intended brand character. The result can feel refined, energetic, technical, gift-ready, or campaign-specific without losing practical clarity. You receive guidance on structure, sizing, material, print, finishes, inserts, artwork, and approval so the finished kit supports both the message and the moment in which it is received. That promise is supported by practical production choices: rigid, paperboard, kraft, and relevant corrugated formats; exterior and interior printing; custom inserts and dividers; selective foil, embossing, debossing, lamination, and raised effects; free dieline and artwork support; and a digital proof for every approved order. Starting quantities may be as low as 25 supported rigid boxes or 50 paperboard, kraft, cardstock, or corrugated boxes, subject to the confirmed structure and production specification.

PRESS KIT STRUCTURES
Choose a Format That Supports the Campaign
The right press kit format depends on what you are sending, how recipients will receive it, and how the contents should be discovered. A hand-delivered launch kit may need the presence and controlled reveal of a rigid box, while a mailed campaign may benefit from a corrugated mailer with a branded interior and fitted insert. Drawer, sleeve, book-style, two-piece, and collapsible structures create different opening rhythms and packing efficiencies. Choose the route that keeps products, cards, samples, and supporting materials organized while expressing the right campaign character at first sight and after opening.
➜
Magnetic Closure Press Kits

Kraft Press Kit Boxes
Kraft press kit boxes give natural, craft-led, or understated campaigns a distinct material character while still supporting white ink, color printing, inserts, and selected finishes.
- Natural kraft character
- White ink capability
- Custom fit and inserts
- Launch or gifting use
Choose kraft when the material itself should help communicate a grounded, tactile, or maker-led identity.
Customize NowMATERIAL-LED KIT CHARACTER
Build the Right Feel Into Every Handoff
Material gives a press kit its first physical signal. Smooth paperboard can keep campaign graphics crisp and controlled, kraft can add a natural or craft-led character, rigid greyboard can give curated kits greater presence, and corrugated board can carry a branded identity into relevant mailed formats. The best choice depends on the contents, the delivery route, the intended impression, and the way recipients will handle the box. Select the board for the character and use it needs to support—not by thickness alone.
Smooth Paperboard for Graphic Clarity
SBS and coated paperboard can give detailed campaign artwork, brand colors, product names, and supporting information a clean surface. It suits press kits that need polished print definition in a lighter-weight structure.
Kraft for an Honest, Tactile Feel
Natural kraft can support craft-led, organic-looking, maker-focused, or understated campaigns. White ink and full-color printing can create contrast while allowing the material character to remain part of the design.
Rigid Greyboard for Greater Presence
Wrapped rigid greyboard can give high-touch press kits a more substantial feel and a composed opening experience. It is well suited to curated launches, client presentations, gift-led campaigns, and kits with fitted inserts.
Corrugated Board for Branded Delivery
Corrugated material can extend the campaign identity into relevant mailed press kits. Exterior and interior printing, together with fitted corrugated or foam inserts, can keep delivery, opening, and product discovery visually connected.
CAMPAIGN IDENTITY IN PRINT
Make the Campaign Recognizable at Every Step
A press kit must make the campaign easy to understand before every item is examined. Custom printing can connect the box, product samples, information cards, and launch message through one recognizable visual system. Use the exterior to establish the campaign at first sight, then continue relevant colors, artwork, product cues, or short messaging across the sides, lid, base, and inside surfaces. Full-color printing, controlled spot colors, white ink on kraft, metallic inks, and inside printing provide the production routes; the customer benefit is a kit designed to feel coordinated, easier to navigate, and clearly tied to the brand behind it.
- Make the campaign clear immediately
- Keep product variants visibly connected
- Carry the story across relevant panels
- Continue brand cues inside
- Create distinct recipient versions
- Stay recognizable across handoff and delivery
SURFACE DETAILS WITH PURPOSE
Guide Attention With the Right Finish
Finishes should help a press kit communicate priorities, not compete with the campaign. A calm matte or soft-touch surface can make a refined launch feel considered, gloss can support brighter artwork, and selective contrast can draw the eye to a brand name, campaign line, or product cue. Foil, embossing, debossing, spot UV, raised UV, and lamination are most useful when each treatment has a clear job. The goal is a surface that tells recipients what matters first and supports the intended quality level when the box is handled.
-
Set the Campaign ToneMatte or soft-touch lamination can give a refined, editorial, or high-touch launch a quieter surface, while gloss can support vivid, energetic artwork. The treatment should match the campaign character rather than follow a standard finish formula.
-
Direct Attention to the Main Cue
Foil, embossing, debossing, raised spot UV, or selected contrast can give the brand name, campaign title, or launch detail greater visual and tactile weight. The purpose is to guide attention, not decorate every panel.
-
Separate Core and Special Versions
Selective finishes can help media tiers, event editions, seasonal launches, or limited campaign versions feel distinct while staying connected to the same parent identity.
OPEN WITH A CLEAR PURPOSE
Turn First Access Into Product Confidence
The exterior may establish a precise auto-care identity, but the inside determines whether that impression continues when the customer reaches the product. A single wax carton can use internal color or a short printed message to make first access feel complete. A kit containing wax, applicators, cloths or supporting products needs more guidance. Inserts, dividers and deliberate spacing can help customers identify each component and understand the intended order. The aim is not theatrical packaging; it is a clear, satisfying introduction that supports the reason the product or set was chosen.
-
Continue Keep the Visual System Connected
Carry selected colors, graphics or concise messaging onto relevant inside surfaces. This prevents the brand identity from disappearing as soon as the outer panel or lid is opened.
-
Guide Make Every Component Easy to Understand
Use printed labels, dividers or fitted inserts to separate wax containers, applicators and cloths. A clear arrangement helps customers see what belongs in the set without searching through loose components.
-
Reveal Plan What the Customer Sees First
Position the main wax container, brand message or defining kit component where it becomes visible at the right moment. A considered reveal can make retail handoff, gifting or e-commerce receipt feel more organized and intentional.
EXPERT-GUIDED PRESS PACKAGING
Press Kit Box Customization Made Easy & Fast — Built to Inform, Present & Ship
Our press kit packaging experts, structural designers, print specialists, consultants, and project managers make custom press kit box ordering easy and fast by bringing your media materials, product samples, announcement date, recipient tiers, item dimensions, selected kit style, insert needs, campaign artwork, QR or download-access areas, personalization zones, and brand direction into one production-ready structure. We guide fact sheet, brochure, press card, product sample, bottle, jar, device, apparel, document, USB-style item, or accessory clearance, compartment spacing, insert tray tolerance, rigid or corrugated stock selection, closure strength, shipping-label behavior, inside-and-outside print coverage, coating and finish compatibility, dieline alignment, bleed, safe-zone, press-message, recipient-label, media-contact, and QR spacing, cost calculation, timeline planning, prepress preparation, and 3D proof review. The result is a custom press kit box that organizes media information clearly, presents products intentionally, supports better shipping or handout handling, and moves to production with fewer sizing, print, structure, or approval risks.

Plan a Press Kit That Is Ready to Produce
A press kit becomes easier to order when the contents, recipient journey, artwork, and distribution plan are defined before production. The following decisions help you move from a campaign idea to a confirmed structure without inventing specifications or choosing a box before the pack-out is understood.
-
Start With Every Item Going Inside
List each product, sample, card, booklet, gift, and accessory that belongs in the kit. Provide the length, width, and height of each item, including any wrapping or inner container that will remain in place. Also note the pack count, preferred arrangement, and the clearance needed to remove each piece comfortably. Irregular shapes, fragile components, and items that must stay upright should be identified early. These inputs allow the structure and insert to be planned around the real contents rather than a guessed outside size.
-
Choose for Handoff, Delivery, or Both
A hand-delivered press kit and a mailed press kit may need different structural priorities. Rigid magnetic, book-style, drawer, or two-piece formats can support a high-touch launch or client presentation. Relevant corrugated mailers can carry the same campaign identity into delivery with exterior and interior printing and fitted inserts. Some programs need one format for events and another for media shipping. The decision should follow the recipient route, pack-out process, and desired access—not a single box style applied to every channel.
-
Plan the Insert and Packing Sequence
Decide what recipients should see first, which items must remain separated, and how the kit will be packed. Foam, paperboard, kraft, cardboard, and corrugated insert routes are available where they suit the structure and contents. Dividers, trays, and custom die-cut cavities can help organize components. Before approval, confirm the orientation of every item, the removal space, and whether cards or literature sit above, beside, or beneath the products.
-
Prepare Artwork Around the Confirmed Dieline
Artwork should follow the final structure, not a preliminary estimate. Dieline or template support, artwork checking, resizing, bleed and safe-zone assistance, and design support are available. Accepted production files include AI, PDF, PSD, and EPS. You can plan print for the front, back, top, bottom, outside, and inside where the selected structure supports it. A digital proof is provided for every approved order, and production does not begin until payment, final artwork approval, and structure confirmation are complete.
-
Set Quantity, Budget, and Prototype Needs
Paperboard, cardstock, kraft, and supported corrugated press kit orders may start from 50 boxes. Supported rigid formats may start from 25 boxes. These starting quantities do not automatically remove relevant customization choices; the final options depend on the approved structure and production specification. Per-unit pricing generally improves as quantity rises, with more visible differences often appearing around 500 units. For a qualifying bulk or wholesale project, a physical prototype may be available, and its cost may be adjusted into the resulting order where approved.
-
Confirm Production and Distribution
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. If one campaign includes many short-run designs, share the full version count early so the production plan can be confirmed before approval. The same order can also be shipped to multiple addresses, which can support media, creator, partner, or event distribution from one coordinated program. A complete quote should therefore include the contents, quantities, recipient route, preferred material character, print coverage, finish direction, insert needs, artwork status, delivery locations, and target date. With those inputs confirmed, the structure, proofing steps, and production plan can be built around the campaign rather than left to assumptions.
PRESS KIT ORDERING QUESTIONS
Answers Before You Size, Print, and Ship
Yes. A growing business can start with press kit packaging built around its own campaign without committing to a large first run. Paperboard, cardstock, kraft, and supported corrugated formats may start from 50 boxes, while supported rigid formats may start from 25. Relevant custom sizing, exterior or interior printing, finishes, and insert choices remain available where they suit the approved structure and production specification. This gives you room to prepare a launch, media outreach, or partner campaign without defaulting to a generic stock box.
Yes. The insert and interior can be planned around the actual mix of products, samples, cards, booklets, gifts, and accessories. Foam, paperboard, kraft, cardboard, and corrugated insert routes are available where they fit the selected box and contents. Dividers, trays, and custom die-cut cavities can give each item a clear place. Share every item’s size, orientation, pack count, and preferred removal sequence so the final layout supports both packing and recipient discovery.
The best style depends on the recipient route and the opening experience you need. Rigid magnetic, book-style, drawer, and two-piece formats can suit high-touch handoffs, launch events, or client presentations. Relevant corrugated mailers can support delivery with branded exterior and interior surfaces plus fitted inserts. Some campaigns may use separate formats for events and shipping. The structure should be selected after the contents, pack-out method, and distribution plan are clear.
Yes. Relevant inside surfaces can be printed so the campaign identity continues after the box opens. Depending on the confirmed structure, artwork may extend across the lid interior, base, tray, sleeve, or other supported panels. Inside printing can help connect products, cards, and launch messaging to the same visual system. Final panel coverage is confirmed through the dieline and digital proof before production, so the artwork is placed against the approved structure rather than an assumed layout.
Yes, multiple designs can be planned within one campaign, provided the version count, quantities, artwork, and schedule are reviewed before production. This can support different recipient groups, product variants, events, or launch stages while keeping the parent brand consistent. Complex orders with many short-run designs may need a separately confirmed production schedule because each setup adds preparation. Share the complete design matrix early so quantities, proofs, and packing requirements can be organized clearly.
Start with the length, width, and height of every item that will go inside, including any wrapping or inner container. Also provide the pack count, preferred arrangement, item orientation, and the clearance needed for comfortable removal. Irregular or fragile components should be identified separately. The outside box size should be developed from these real inputs together with the insert and structure, rather than selected from an unsupported standard size.
Yes. A digital proof is available for every approved order before production begins. Dieline or template support, artwork checking, resizing, bleed and safe-zone assistance, and design support are also available. Production files may be supplied in AI, PDF, PSD, or EPS format. A digital proof confirms the approved artwork and structure; it is not a physical prototype. Qualifying bulk or wholesale projects may have a physical prototype option under separately approved terms.
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. Complex multi-design orders may require a separately confirmed schedule. Share your target date, quantity, design count, and delivery route early so the production and shipping plan can be reviewed before approval.
Yes. The same order can be distributed to multiple addresses, which can help coordinate deliveries to media contacts, creators, partners, clients, or event locations. Provide the final address list, quantities per destination, and any version-specific packing instructions before the shipment plan is confirmed. Shipping transit time remains separate from production, and complex multi-version programs may need additional scheduling review so the correct kits are assigned to the correct destinations.
