Brilliant experience from start to finish

“I'd been searching for a packaging supplier for my new skincare line and Custom Cardboard Boxes absolutely delivered. Sophie walked me through the whole process, from choosing the right box style to finalising the artwork. She was incredibly patient when I kept changing my mind on colours and never once made me feel like a hassle. The finished product looks unreal. The print quality is spot on and my customers have been commenting on how premium everything looks. Couldn't recommend them more highly.”

Top-notch custom mailer boxes for our coffee brand

“We've just received our first order of custom mailer boxes and honestly, they've exceeded all expectations. Working with Ethan was an absolute pleasure. He was super responsive, always kept us in the loop, and even suggested a few tweaks to our design that made the final product look way more professional. The turnaround time was faster than we expected and the pricing was very competitive. We'll definitely be ordering again for our next roast release.”

Charlotte was absolutely fantastic

“Charlotte was absolutely fantastic to work with. As a small business owner just starting out with handmade candles, I had no idea what I needed in terms of packaging. She took the time to explain all the different options, helped me pick the right size and material, and the design team nailed my artwork on the first go. The boxes arrived in perfect condition and they look gorgeous. My brand feels so much more legit now. Thank you, Charlotte!”

Exceptional quality and service, highly recommend

“We've been working with Custom Cardboard Boxes since we launched our botanical skincare range and they've been nothing short of brilliant. Liz has been our main contact and she's always gone above and beyond to make sure everything is sorted. The print quality on our boxes is crisp, the colours are bang on, and the packaging feels really sturdy and premium. We've tried other suppliers before but none have come close to the level of service and quality we get here. Will not be going anywhere else.”

Great product, slight delay on shipping

“The boxes themselves are fantastic. Really well made, colours came out perfectly, and the design team were really helpful during the proofing stage. Tom was great to deal with and answered all my questions promptly. Shipping took a touch longer than originally quoted, but I understand these things happen and the end result was well worth the wait. Overall a really positive experience and I'd still recommend them to anyone looking for custom packaging.”

Made my small business look like a big brand

“I recently launched my first range of protein bars and needed packaging that would really stand out on shelves. Michael was so helpful and patient as we worked through different design concepts and box styles. He even helped me adjust my artwork to make sure the print came out perfectly. When the boxes arrived, I was absolutely stoked. They look incredibly professional and the quality is outstanding. Custom Cardboard Boxes has genuinely taken my brand to the next level. Can't thank them enough.”

Perfect custom belly bands for our soap range

“We ordered custom belly bands for our artisan soap range and they turned out beautifully. Amie was our point of contact and she was lovely to deal with. Really communicative and made the whole process dead easy. The print quality is crisp, the fit around our bars is spot on, and they've given our products such a polished, professional look. The pricing was also very reasonable compared to what we were quoted elsewhere. Already planning our next order!”

Fast turnaround and outstanding results

“We needed custom packaging for a product launch and were working to a really tight deadline. Eric was brilliant. He got everything sorted quickly and kept me updated every step of the way. The auto-lock boxes we ordered are sturdy, the print is sharp, and the whole unboxing experience looks premium. I was genuinely impressed by how fast they turned everything around without compromising on quality. Will absolutely be using Custom Cardboard Boxes for all our future orders.”

Excellent service, Kevin was a legend

“This was our first time ordering custom packaging and we were a bit nervous about the whole process. Kevin put us at ease straight away. He was super communicative, explained everything clearly, and made brilliant suggestions that improved our original design. The finished boxes look absolutely mint and arrived right on schedule. Our customers have already been raving about the packaging. Honestly couldn't have asked for a better experience. Cheers, Kevin!”

Really happy with the end result

“Ordered custom gift boxes for my online boutique and the quality is lovely. The cardboard is thick and sturdy, the printing is sharp, and the colours match my branding perfectly. Davis was my main contact and he was really easy to work with. Always quick to reply and happy to help with any changes. The only minor thing was a small delay getting the initial proof back, but once that was sorted everything moved along smoothly. Would happily order from Custom Cardboard Boxes again.”

Got Questions?

Frequently Asked Questions

01 What is your minimum order quantity? add

Our minimum order quantity is flexible. We recommend starting at 100 units, which gives a good per-unit cost without a large upfront commitment. Larger runs bring the price down further.

02 How do I get a quote? add

Fill out our quote request form or email us directly. Include your box dimensions, quantity, material preference, and any finishing requirements. We typically respond within one business day.

03 What are your payment terms? add

Payment is required in full before production begins. Once payment is confirmed, your job goes into the production queue. We will confirm accepted payment methods when we send your quote.

04 How long does production take? add

Standard production takes 8 to 10 business days after your proof is approved. Rush production plans are also available if you need your packaging sooner. If you have a tight deadline, get in touch and we will work out a timeline that suits your schedule.

05 Do you offer rush production for tight deadlines? add

Yes. Rush production is available for time-sensitive jobs (event activations, festival weekends, product launches, seasonal windows like Christmas or Easter) where the standard 8 to 10 business day window does not stretch. The rush surcharge is priced separately on the quote, and we confirm whether we can hold the timeline before you commit. Flag the deadline when you request a quote so we can plan capacity around the date.

06 What does the order process look like? add

You request a quote, we confirm the details and send pricing, you approve and pay, we send a digital proof for your sign-off, then production begins. After dispatch, delivery within Australia takes 3 to 5 business days.

07 Can I reorder the same box? add

Yes. Reorders use the same approved artwork and print spec from your first run, so the dieline shape and finish list stay locked in. Resupply your approved files at quote stage. Production runs the same 8 to 10 business days as the first batch, with the design and pre-production phase skipped because the spec is already settled.

08 What file formats do you accept for artwork? add

We accept print-ready PDF, AI, and EPS files. If your artwork is not quite ready, our design team can assist. Just mention it when you request your quote.

09 Do you provide dielines? add

Yes. We provide a dieline template based on your box dimensions. If you are unsure about the right box structure for your product, let us know and we can advise on the best option.

10 How do you handle colour matching? add

We print in CMYK. If your brand colours need to be accurate, supply them as CMYK values and we will match as closely as possible. Any significant colour differences are flagged at the proof stage before production starts.

11 Can I get a sample before ordering? add

Every order includes a free digital proof and mockup so you can see exactly how your packaging will look before we print. Physical samples are available on request. A sampling fee applies depending on the complexity of the order.

12 Do you offer custom sizes and shapes? add

All our boxes are made to your exact specifications. You provide the dimensions and we manufacture to suit. There is no standard size you need to conform to.

13 What box styles do you make? add

We produce mailer boxes, folding cartons, rigid boxes, display boxes, sleeve boxes, and custom shaped packaging. Browse our full product range or get in touch and we can work out the details.

14 What materials do you use? add

We work with corrugated board, rigid board, kraft, and standard cardboard. The right choice depends on your product weight, the finish you want, and your budget. Learn more on our about page or get in touch and we will recommend the best option.

15 What printing finishes are available? add

We offer matte lamination, gloss lamination, spot UV, and foil stamping. These can be combined depending on the look you are after. Matte works well for a clean, premium feel. Spot UV and foil are popular for making logos and key details stand out.

16 What printing method do you use? add

We use offset printing. It produces sharp, consistent colour across the entire run and is the standard method for high-quality custom packaging.

17 Do you offer eco-friendly packaging? add

Yes. We offer kraft and recycled board options. Both are recyclable and suit brands that want packaging with a lower environmental footprint. Our custom soap boxes and candle boxes are popular choices for eco-conscious brands.

18 Do you ship across Australia? add

Yes. Shipping is free on all orders within Australia. Delivery typically takes 3 to 5 business days after dispatch.

19 Do you ship internationally? add

Yes, we can ship to international destinations. Mention your location when requesting a quote and we will include international delivery costs.

20 What industries do you work with? add

We work with brands across retail, cosmetics, skincare, food, gifting, and general product packaging. Browse our packaging by industry to see solutions tailored to your sector. Most of our clients are Australian businesses looking for packaging that reflects their brand and holds up during shipping.

21 Can you handle large volume orders? add

Yes. Larger runs come with better per-unit pricing. Include your estimated quantity in your quote request and we will price accordingly.

    About Custom Cardboard Boxes

    Custom packaging boxes manufacturer in Australia

    At Custom Cardboard Boxes, we manufacture fully printed, custom packaging for Australian businesses. Every order is produced to your exact dimensions, print specifications, and structural requirements. We work with brands of every size, from independent businesses placing a 100-unit first run to established retailers ordering at wholesale volume.

    E-commerce and retail packaging

    Custom mailer boxes are one of the most-requested formats we produce. For online retailers, a well-printed mailer turns every delivery into a brand touchpoint that customers notice. We print full colour inside and out, and mailers fold flat for easy storage. For retail shelf packaging, custom tuck end boxes are a practical and cost-effective choice: they assemble quickly, hold their structure on shelf, and print cleanly in almost any size. Custom folding boxes work well for products that need a more substantial enclosure. If your products display on retail hooks, custom hang tab boxes with a built-in die-cut tab keep them neatly on fixture without extra hardware. Custom belly bands are a low-cost way to band and brand bundled products or gift sets without the expense of a full box.

    Food packaging for cafes, food trucks, and restaurants

    We produce custom burger boxes, custom fries boxes, and custom popcorn boxes for cafes, food trucks, and quick service restaurants across Australia. Food packaging has to work under real conditions: grease, heat, and handling. Our food cartons are produced from food-safe materials in any printed design, so your brand is visible from the counter to the customer's table. If you run a market stall, pop-up, or fast casual concept, branded food packaging is one of the easiest ways to make your business look considered.

    Cosmetic, candle, and personal care packaging

    Cosmetic and personal care products need packaging that sells the product before a customer even picks it up. Custom candle boxes protect the product and communicate brand quality from the moment it lands on a shelf or arrives in the post. Custom sleeve boxes and custom product sleeves give skincare ranges a clean, layered presentation without the bulk of a full enclosure. If your product needs a hang tab for in-store retail display, we include the tab slot as part of the die cut. Matte, gloss, and soft-touch laminate finishes are available across all formats.

    Materials and printing

    We work across four main materials: corrugated board for mailer boxes and shipping-grade packaging, rigid board for premium cosmetic and retail cartons, kraft for natural and eco-positioned products, and standard cardboard for most retail carton formats including tuck end boxes, folding boxes, and sleeve boxes. All materials support full-colour CMYK printing. We also offer spot colour printing for brands that need Pantone accuracy. Finishes include matte laminate, gloss laminate, and soft-touch laminate. Learn more about our materials and process on our about page.

    Flexible minimum orders and free AU shipping

    Our minimum order is 100 units. That low entry point is deliberate. Small brands launching a new product range, testing a new packaging format, or running a seasonal line should be able to order what they need without committing to excess stock. As your order volumes grow, unit pricing improves. Every order includes a digital proof and mockup before production starts, so you see exactly how your custom boxes will look before anything is printed. Free delivery applies to all orders within Australia, with the bulk of our volume going out to brands based in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
