Apparel Boxes for Easy, Secure Clothing Shipments

Packaging Lane apparel boxes protect shirts, dresses, and folded garments during shipping and storage. Sturdy cardboard keeps clothing flat and guards against dust and dirt.Each box arrives flat to save space, then folds quickly with scored edges. Multiple sizes fit everything from t-shirts to outerwear, reducing movement and preventing wrinkles.

Materials & Construction Details

Packaging Lane uses board grades like chipboard, corrugate, and rigid, each serving different protection needs. Rigid options withstand stacking; corrugate shields garments from external pressure.Box thicknesses range from 1.2 mm to 3 mm. Thicker walls defend against crushing in storage or shipping, helping garments arrive intact.All adhesives and inks are apparel-safe, so they won’t transfer onto fabric.  

Box Styles & Custom Sizing

Choose from four standard box types for clothing: two-piece, mailer, fold-flat, and magnetic. Each style protects different apparel needs, so you match shape and function.Pick your box length, width, and height to fit the product. Custom sizing cuts waste and helps control shipping weight.

How to Measure for the Right Fit

Start by measuring the interior length, width, and depth of your box. Use a ruler or tape measure. The interior size matters most when you want to add tissue or inserts, so allow extra space for these materials.If you have specific items, such as folded shirts or small apparel, measure them first. Add at least 0.25 inch to each dimension to prevent tight squeezes or damage during packing.Accurate measurements help you avoid delays and custom size changes. The right fit gives your packaging a clean, professional look.

Print Methods

Digital printing fits short runs well, like fewer than 250 units. This method offers fast turnarounds— It delivers sharp detail for custom designs on smaller quantities, avoiding setup costs.Offset printing suits medium to large volumes. It handles detailed branding and color accuracy. This method works best if you need a consistent look across 1,000 or more boxes.Screen printing is strong for bold images but fits basic artwork and solid colors. It’s most cost-effective for large batch runs, where repeat prints need durability.

Finishes & Add-Ons

Add Spot UV, foil, or deboss/emboss finishes to help your boxes stand out. Each finish gives texture and shine shoppers notice, and Spot UV can pinpoint your logo or brand elements for extra focus. Choose from gold or silver foils, or deboss/emboss for raised or recessed graphics with tight detail.Window cutouts let customers preview the product in seconds.
