Custom Packaging Ideas on a Budget

A question we get asked a lot is 'how do I know when to go premium/custom packaging vs regular stock packaging? Clearly going with a regular corrugated box to display your products in will save money, but premium and high end packaging doesn't have to be expensive. You just have to know what to look for in your packaging manufacturing techniques to achieve the most efficient cost savings. If you are struggling whether to invest more money into your packaging or stick with a stock or low end box... the answer may lie somewhere in the middle.

Your video is great. I am a Chinese manufacturer of printing paper and packaging products. I have been doing this for 20 years and I love my job very, very much

Love this video! My girlfriend and I are beginning to launch our fragrance/lifestyle brand and learning a ton about packaging. I've noticed in most (if not all) of your videos your talking about super high quantities for package production. Could you all do more content for the smaller, family run businesses where quantities could max out around 500 pieces? Thanks.

New sub. I'm a micro business, meaning I work a full-time job (unrelated) and have a "side hustle". I make all of my own products, additionally wearing all of the hats that business owners wear. How do you see sustainable yet upscale packaging for handcrafted products. I'm referring to products that might not have a standard size such as bar soap, bath bombs, solid bubble products and so forth. I'm trying to move from the craft show "look" to something more. Branding is everything but $$ decides how far one can go. Is there language for broke a$$ people, that are trying to create packaging at the top edge of their dollar?

Their $4 box probably went to $10 like ours did. We also switched our packaging because our supplier lifted pricing across the board by around 250%

Besides the monetary reasons I feel like people/companies are leaning towards being more green or less wasteful. That may have also played a role in the change of their packaging.

I've watched a couple of your vids and I love how succinct it is. A lot of information in a short video. Thanks!

You might have mention this, but I suspect they changed to more environmentally friendly packaging to please their customers. Another assumption I would have is that a high percentage of people who use air diffusers also "care about the environment" and prefer easy to recycle packaging that didn't create a lot of waste in the production process.

Aera created, 2 packagings structures, 1 was for retail and the 2nd one for e-tail. The one for retails has nicer features because it will be competing in the shelf with other products, the packaging for the e- tail version doesn’t compete with other product the main purpose is complete the distribution. Other opportunity to reduce the cost of collaterals or user guides is to add a QR code that links the user to product website so they can see the product operation instructions or videos

Hi, this catches my eye! What is the mins order and/or starting price. I visited the site but there aren’t information I am looking for. I do jewelry but in the near future I am looking to add candle business.

Nice video and awesome custom packaging box

[MrSparkums]

Are these style of boxes typically manufactured overseas, or is something say, 25% as fancy available from a US supplier in a similar $ range? I am developing a brand product line and researching packaging for 1 particular product. Maybe I'll email when I am further along.. Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks..

Great video, what is the box material?

[myTeas]

I like the new packaging for eco purposes. I mean at some point it becomes trash.

[eplanti]

lmao... imagine having a box that costs as much as the materials for your product

[tanisha]

I am starting a bath bomb company and I need custom packaging boxes. Will that be possible

[itsacreaturefriend]

how about the eco benefits of raw cardboard. maybe just maybe Aero was looking at that, too. lots of good info in these video but with very different values than those i apply to the systems i am involved in. would love more info on eco friendlier potentials.

[erenstar]
