FAQ

Custom Solutions FAQ

Can a custom box be made from used corrugated?

Some suppliers can trim larger used boxes down to size. It varies, so ask a partner supplier. Custom-cut used boxes may show prior printing or wear, and cutting can affect the box.

How do I determine the right box size for my product?

Measure your product at its widest, tallest, and deepest points, then allow room on each side for cushioning. Our size guide covers this in more detail, and you can include your measurements in your request.

How much do custom boxes cost?

Pricing is by quote from partner suppliers. It depends on size, material, printing, and quantity, so include those details in your request.

Can I get a sample before committing to a full order?

Ask the partner supplier who follows up. Testing a sample with your actual product is a good idea before any full run.

What file formats work for custom printing?

That varies by supplier. Vector files such as AI, EPS, or PDF are widely used for print, so have one ready if you can, and ask what the supplier needs.

Do you make the boxes?

No. Portland Boxes is a referral service. We take your request and pass it on to partner suppliers, who set prices, terms, pickup, and delivery. Availability varies.
