Pro-Pak Associates designs and supplies custom printed boxes for product companies, engineers and purchasing teams. Since 1996, we have helped customers present and ship their products in packaging that looks professional and carries their brand.
Below are three options: gift and presentation boxes, shipping and mailer boxes, and printed sleeves, including short-run work.
If you also need a label for the product or the carton, see our Custom Labels. For logos, markings or laser etching applied directly to a part, see Decorating.
Rigid gift and presentation boxes, also called setup boxes, are sturdy boxes that hold their shape and are often part of the product experience. They are more durable than a standard folding carton and can be reused, keeping your name in front of the customer longer.
Use them for retail packaging, kits, gifts and other products that benefit from a more finished unboxing.
Options to choose from include offset or digital printing, foil stamping, embossing or debossing, spot UV, soft-touch coating, and custom inserts. You do not need every option; we will help you choose what fits the look and the budget.

Custom printed shipping boxes and mailers are corrugated or similar cartons printed with your brand, handling information or both. They protect the product in transit and can replace a plain carton when you want the shipment to look finished.
Use them for product shipments, wholesale fulfillment, and master cartons that should carry your logo or shipping marks.
Options to choose from include flexographic, offset or digital printing, from a simple one-color logo to a fuller graphic. Paperboard or foam inserts can be added when the product needs a neater or more protected fit.

A printed sleeve, or belly band, is a printed wrap that slides over a box or carton. It adds branding, a seasonal design or product information without reprinting the box itself.
Use a sleeve to dress up a plain or reusable box, run a short-term graphic, or add a band of information around a gift or shipping box. Offset or digital printing is typical; foil stamping, spot UV or soft-touch coating are options when the sleeve needs a more finished look.

Our team brings more than 50 years of combined industry experience to every project:
1. Define the box or sleeve around your product and how it will be used
2. Select a gift or presentation box, a shipping or mailer box, or a printed sleeve
3. Specify size, print method and finishing, including inserts when needed
4. Deliver finished packaging, ready to pack or ship
Because we also design and supply custom labels, decorating, foam inserts, thermoformed packaging and poly bags, we can coordinate the box with the rest of the package through one team.

A gift or presentation box is built to look finished, often as a rigid or setup box. A shipping or mailer box is built to protect the product in transit. Some projects use both, or a printed sleeve over either style.
No. Those are options to choose from. Many boxes are simply printed.
Yes. A label on the box or decorating on the part can complete the package. See Custom Labels and Decorating, and we can coordinate them with your box.
