We would rather tell you the truth than win a click with a claim we cannot back up. So when people say custom boxes no minimum order, they usually mean a minimum so low it barely feels like one. That is what we offer. A 100-unit run lets you test a new product, launch a small batch, or fill one order. You do not have to commit to thousands of boxes sitting in storage.
| Supplier type | Typical minimum | What that means for you |
| Large overseas factories | 1,000–5,000+ units | Big upfront cost, long lead time |
| Mid-size box makers | 500 units | Still risky for a first launch |
| Pack Printers | 100 units | Low enough to test a product properly |
So next to the wider industry, 100 units really does act like a no-minimum option. You are not locked into a huge factory order just to get something custom made.
If you are launching your first product, a 5,000-unit order is a real risk. So a 100-unit run gets you real custom packaging, without betting the whole business on it. Then, once the product proves itself, scaling up is easy.
A holiday flavour or a one-off item does not need a warehouse of boxes. So custom printed boxes in a small quantity fit these runs far better than a big order that outlives the product.
Sometimes you just want to try a new size or finish first. So ordering 100 to start, rather than going big right away, is the smart way to test that change.
Not every product needs thousands of units. So smaller shops and makers can still get custom size boxes no minimum style pricing, at a quantity that actually matches what they sell each season.
A smaller order does not mean a lesser product. Here is what stays the same, even at 100 units.
| Feature | Included at 100 units? | Note |
| Custom size boxes | Yes | Built to your product, not a stock size |
| Full colour print | Yes | Same print quality as a bigger run |
| Free Pantone® match | Yes | No extra fee for exact brand colour |
| Printed sample | Yes | Recommended before the full order |
So the only thing that changes at a lower quantity is the total cost and the per-unit price. The build quality, the print quality and the service are the same as a bigger order.

Even at a small quantity, it pays to get the size right first time. So measure your product at its widest and tallest points, not the box you imagine. Also tell us if it needs an insert. That way, the box holds it snugly from the very first unit. Because the run is already small, a sample is well worth the extra few days. So you confirm the fit before your 100 units are printed. It is worth setting expectations here too. A 100-unit order will always cost more per box than a 5,000-unit order. That is because setup costs get spread across fewer units. So do not expect small-batch pricing to match bulk pricing. You are paying for lower risk and more freedom, not the cheapest unit price. Once your volume grows, we can move you onto better pricing at higher quantities.
We use food-grade board and inks wherever a box touches food, and our stock meets standard packaging rules, no matter the order size. Most boxes are paper and card, so they recycle easily when clean. A laminate or foil finish looks great, but it does make recycling a little harder. So we will always tell you that trade-off honestly, whatever quantity you are ordering.
