There’s no denying that custom branded packaging is here to stay in the e-commerce world. If you’re an exclusively-online store, your shipping packaging is one of the few chances you’ll have to interact with your customers, so you can’t afford to waste it. But there’s also no denying that printed packaging can cost a little more than the standard stuff.
Rather than re-doing your entire packaging strategy, why not start with custom labels? They let you dress up your existing packaging in seconds. Seriously—put a printed label on a brown corrugated box. See how much better it looks instantly? That’s what custom labels can do for you.
So, how do you take advantage of a great marketing opportunity without breaking the bank? You design custom labels online. We’ll show you how.

- Branding shipping packaging like boxes and bubble mailers.
