Blank Boxes

[Logoman]

Does anyone buy Boxes and Print their information on them. If so What is the cost?

buy from a local box wholesaler so you get them immediately and pay no shipping.  You can get the standard sizes that gildan/nextlevel/etc use for their shirts for around $1.50 or less a box at low quantities (i usually buy 100 or so at a time).  I only use them for certain orders.  I just re-use the boxes the shirts ship in for orders where I know no one who cares will see the boxes (like small businesses without any office traffic that I have worked with for a while), but definitely use them for schools, festivals, etc where lots of people will see the box.

For orders under 50 I usually use kraft paper bags with handles that I buy from http://www.webstaurantstore.com/

print with waterbased inks.

I like the paper bag idea. What size works best for t-shirts.

we get them from uline, and they work great, its the same ones used by olive garden and a few other restaurants.  I print them with PLASTISOL and run them through the dryer.  Never an issue.

I buy 16x6x12 from papermart... a tiny bit cheaper than the one mimosa mentioned.

I'm kinda in the middle of nowhere without box resellers and someone mentioned home depot. These are the ones I got, work well. They're about $5 more than when I bought them last. Free ship to store.

I usually buy 2 sizes of boxed, 500/1000 of each. They'll last me well over one year and I get quantity discount so will pay less than 0.50€ for small boxes and 1€ for big boxes. White box, double carton, printed on both sides.

In Canada I use Staples.ca  Staples.com also has boxes and if they are like Canada they offer frequent coupons free shipping....

We buy from Uline.  We print them with cheap wasterbased PAINT.  Air dry.

If you're buying from Uline check out a local packaging distributor. Minimums are higher (usually a pallet)
but you won't pay shipping and the cost is way less. Print with wb inks. Nice break from boring shirts
whenever we have the time which is never.

Worth considering "who" is going to see the boxes. Most of them will never be seen by the public outside UPS. Some might make it to a event and a stack of boxes with your logo/info is nice. I think it wouldn't exactly translate to sales.  More a feel good thing in most situations. Some exceptions I am sure.

That's exactly why I am conservative about using mine vs the Gildan boxes shirts come to me in originally. For a school job where the shirts sit in the office for a few hours any the kids and teachers walk by them the whole time, yeah I use my own. For the construction company who puts the box in a corner of their warehouse, it would be a waste.

I bought once form home depot. went to store to pickup, worng size boxes. they were 4x36" ..just a waste of time for me because its not like it was arounfd the corner.

I just order from Uline now. I think with shipping its like $2 bucks a box.

i use speedball ink, dries wcked fast, rinse screen out with water.
