Subscription Box Packaging

If you run a subscription service, your subscription box packaging is crucial to delighting (and retaining) your customers.

Subscription box packaging, typically manufactured from cardboard, is used to fulfil recurring weekly, monthly or quarterly subscription orders. Like eCommerce boxes, subscription box packaging protects contents during shipping and provides an appealing unboxing experience. This type of packaging is particularly common for meal kits, cosmetics, books and even clothing.

At GWP, we have a team of expert designers who can bring your subscription box packaging ideas to life. Plus, by manufacturing and printing your subscription boxes in the UK, GWP enables you to benefit from short lead times, competitive pricing, and the highest quality.

Benefits of subscription box packaging

Subscription box packaging is usually the first physical interaction your customers will have with your business, making it crucial for customer experience, satisfaction and retention. However, working alongside an experienced subscription box manufacturer such as GWP, you can expect many additional benefits too.

GWP manufacture subscription boxes to the exact size you require. Bespoke sizing makes them a perfect fit for your products and reduces shipping costs by minimising the shipping of empty space.

Subscription box mailers can also be specific sizes to comply with courier or postal pricing bands, for example, Royal Mail “pricing in proportion” (PIP) guidelines.

Custom-printed subscription boxes allow logos, graphics and text on both inside and outside surfaces, improving the customer unboxing experience.

Printed subscription boxes can also feature handling instructions, transit packaging symbols and other important information, improving protection during shipping.

You can choose premium white or natural kraft (brown) material colours to reflect your brand positioning and aesthetics.

All subscription boxes are quick and easy to assemble (including tapeless options) and pack, improving staff productivity and minimising labour costs.

All custom subscription boxes GWP manufactures use FSC® certified materials and are easy for your customers to recycle in kerbside collections.

Careful selection of materials, structural design, and suitable inserts, if required, ensure you can avoid costly transit damage.

Empty subscription boxes are supplied flat, minimising delivery costs and storage requirements before use.
