Blank boxes? Where to buy?

[IntegrityShirts]

Yeah but is it worth it to buy less boxes, print & expose a screen, print one side, let it dry, print the other side, let it dry, all to save .31 cents per box?

Or just buy 300, pay the plate fee (ouch), and keep on keepin' on?

I was thinking more about the folks on "shoestring" budgets....And even if you can afford 300 all at once, on the 1st 300 you are saving 400.00+.....400.00 you might be able to use for some other "marketing" effort.....

Again, I like printing boxes. Breaks the monotony of fabrics.

Plus, we have like ten different designs for our boxes. Depending on how you look
at it,we just saves $3600 or whatever.

I can only imagine how a "full wrap" looks on a box....Perhaps a "story board" showing the screen printing process....

buy the blanks, print your own...it's so easy, we use plastisol so we can stack them right away....spend a day doing it and  you can have a few months worth of boxes stacked up, ready to go...save a penny, spend a penny, who cares, it all comes out even in the end....


Oddly enough, we were printing our own boxes the other day when my neighbor dropped by, he was blown away we could print boxes - he ordered a crate full from home depot for us to print! so basically,  printing our boxes paid for itself and then some....just another service to offer....

telling ya, Home Depot for blank boxes....they got a decent rate.

My printed boxes have gotten me a few box printing jobs as well

It is a pretty fun process too.  I prefer the tan/kraft boxes over the white, but I also print my logo in white and black, which looks great on that color.  If you have something like a red logo, it won't look as good on light brown as it will on white.

Since we are not a very big company and don't ship out daily I would rather print my own boxes and just keep a screen with our logo on it, and during the slow time print up a batch.  Like someone said it ain't that hard, plus I got a flat stock press I could plug back in if needed.

Jay, he was probably blown away because he actually saw you working.

Went with two different size bundles from home depot with free ship to store. So I'll have 90 boxes to print soon! Think I'll just do wb black ink on them and turn the belt speed up until they fly off into a nice perfect stack on the floor. Thanks guys!

Ok, our edge crush rating is 44 lbs/in. they are single wall and measure 13x21x16. The double wall is nicer and what the Gildan boxes are, but with a edge crush of 44 they are pretty sturdy. One reason we like printing our boxes is that we can switch it up whenever we want.

You guys that were talking about the Home Depot boxes or boxes under $2ea. do you have a link to them? What size boxes are they? Brown or white?
