Customization Options
Starting Small Without Overpaying
A 100-unit minimum and zero setup fees mean a first-time brand can order a properly branded box without the large upfront cost that bulk-only suppliers require.
Design Support Included
Free design support means you don’t need an in-house designer or a separate agency project to get from concept to a print-ready dieline.
Growing Into Larger Orders
Because pricing scales with quantity, the same box design and dieline can move from a 100-unit test run into a larger wholesale order as your business grows, without redesigning packaging.
Industries & Use Cases
- Independent & startup brands: first production runs for a new product launch.
- Etsy & small e-commerce sellers: professional packaging at a scale that matches order volume.
- Local retail & farmers market vendors: branded packaging for in-person and online sales.
- Side businesses & solopreneurs: affordable packaging without a large inventory commitment.
How to Order
- Request a free quote with your size, material, and quantity (minimum order 100 units).
- Work with our design team — artwork and dieline support is free.
- Approve your digital or physical proof before production starts.
- We produce your order at our US facility, no setup or plate charges.
- Standard turnaround is 10–15 business days, with 8-business-day expedited production available.
Why Wholesale Buyers Choose Crat Packaging
Crat Packaging manufactures at our own US production facility, offers free design support and free plate/die setup, and keeps minimums low so growing brands can order exactly what they need. Because budget and order size are the deciding factors for this audience, we lead every quote with the lowest-cost box style and material combination that still meets your product’s protection needs, rather than defaulting to premium options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the smallest order I can place?
Our minimum order is 100 units, which is intentionally set low enough for a first production run rather than a bulk wholesale commitment.
Do I need my own design file to get started?
No, our design team provides free support to take your logo and product specs and turn them into a print-ready dieline.
Are there any setup fees for a small first order?
No, plate and die-cut setup is free regardless of order size, so a 100-unit order doesn’t carry a higher per-unit setup cost than a large one.
How much does custom packaging cost for a small order?
Bulk pricing starts around $0.75 per unit, depending on size, material, quantity, and finish — request a quote with your specs for an exact number.
Can I reorder the same design later at a larger quantity?
Yes, we keep your dieline and print files on file so a repeat order at a higher quantity uses the same setup with no redesign needed.
