Blank Boxes

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.

We only use them for certain clients/situations, where they are worth their weight in gold. Imagine the university club who's ordering
class graduated reaching for the last shirt in a box wondering where to order more from. Same goes for tech companies who's employees
are typically on a revolving door basis.

Yup some exceptions for sure. We did it for a period of time and just honestly didn't see a return on it. It was a cool feeling though.

we do a ton of schools, having our name dragged around the halls has paid off 10x over. I've been to events at a school and have seen my boxes in plain view...worth every penny for me. although, it took a few years for me to get the balls to drop 1k on boxes.

however -we have purchased the brown "box paint" and have reused a ton of the bodek /broder boxes and saved a few bucks...I think it looks sharp and professional...

box paint?  like you paint light brown over their branding, then yours over that?

alpha has pretty nice plain boxes they ship in...i keep those for contract jobs and customers where logo boxes don't matter.

yup. we get about 50 boxes per can i think. then we screen our logo on top. you would think it takes a while to do but it really doesn't, and we can repurpose the boxes, other than targets for the bow and air rifles....cost is about the same to do this or buy new and screen it...

I have received more than a couple referrals off my last stack of boxes from just one church client. One box sitting in the right place can generate business. They're so cheap and professional I will be doing more. I definitely pick and choose which orders get the custom boxes.

A local shop here puts a damn sticker on EVERY shirt they sell with their logo on it. That's a little too much.

I try to "have my cake and eat it too" with this. Now, I may also check out the Uline box paint. I have used gray primer in the past.

I like the disclaimer. Might even drum up more business

Yeah, if you don't mind those hippie tree huggers! LOL!
But seriously, the idea of conservation and sustainability has transcended the old social stereotypes,
and most folks actually do separate out their recyclables from their trash nowadays, and try to not be wasteful.
