There are different stocks available for custom boxes and each stock has different prices. Some stocks are not much expensive and some are expensive due to their sturdiness. For instance, corrugated stock is expensive than cardboard stock and corrugated stock is mainly used for shipping purposes due to pasted flutes.

Many companies share the prices with customers on cardboard boxes even though the requirement for the boxes is shipping. This stock reduces the prices and companies manipulate the customers in this way. In short, the knowledge of stock is very important to have to get any quotation from packaging companies on your requirements.

Other than that, the stock also comes in different thicknesses i.e. 310GSM, 350GSM, 460GSM, and 520GSM, etc. and this depends on the weight of the product that which thickness would be better for your boxes. Generally, the 350GSM holds a weight not more than 500g. If we will use the 16pt or 350GSM card stock for the product having the weight of 1kg or more then the boxes will not be able to hold the product and they may fall off.

To prevent this, the customer must have the knowledge of the total weight of the product and also consult the company before finalizing. Custom Made Packaging has the packaging experts who guide the customer after getting complete information of their product so that the production will be of as per customer desire.

You must be worried about the shipping cost if you’re new to this. Mostly, companies hide their shipping costs to reduce the overall price per unit but once the customer is near to pay, they mention the shipping cost which overall increases the prices for the boxes. If you receive the quotation then please check the description about the shipping cost and if you will not find any then ask the relevant person about this. 

Custom Made Packaging always shares the prices with shipping charges included. There are no hidden charges and the customer will receive the boxes at their doorstep free of cost.

Have you tried global packaging providers? If yes, then you must have the knowledge that these companies have production units all over the world. There are some tricks in that. Always get the quotation from your nearest production unit because it will be cheaper for you. Custom Made Packaging has three production units till now and we’re expanding.

We send the quotation to customers based on their geographical location. If you’re in Canada then the production unit that’s based in the US will be used for the production to reduce the overall cost and the fun fact is that we are beating the local vendor prices through our global supply chain setup.
