Custom Corrugated Shipping Boxes for Ecommerce, Retail and 3PL Fulfilment
Protect products in transit without sending customers a generic brown carton. YiHongBox manufactures custom corrugated boxes in the size, board grade, print coverage and structure your packing line requires—from everyday RSC cases to full-overlap cartons and custom die-cut shipping formats.
This page focuses on transport-ready corrugated cases rather than presentation-first custom mailer boxes. If your priority is stacking strength, efficient case packing, export delivery or compatibility with a 3PL, we will engineer the box around the product, packed weight, route and handling conditions.
Choose the Right Shipping-Box Structure
Full-Overlap Carton (FOL)
Outer flaps overlap across the full width for additional top-and-bottom protection. Often considered for heavier products, flat products or packs that need more resistance to rough handling.
Half-Slotted Carton (HSC)
An open-top corrugated case used with a separate lid or as a display-ready tray. It can simplify loading for taller items, bundled products and retail replenishment.
Custom Die-Cut Shipping Box
Tabs, reinforced corners, hand holes, tear strips, dividers or self-locking features can be incorporated where a standard slotted case does not fit the product or packing workflow.
Mailer box or shipping box? A mailer usually uses a self-locking roll-end structure and is designed around the unboxing experience. An RSC/FOL shipping case is normally tape-sealed and optimized for transport, palletization and case packing. Read the full mailer box vs. shipping box comparison.
Corrugated Board Options: Start With the Product and Route
Flute choice is not a style decision alone. The correct specification depends on internal dimensions, gross packed weight, fragility, stacking time, humidity exposure, print expectations and the courier or freight route. We can recommend a trial specification after reviewing these inputs.
| Board option | Typical strength/appearance | Common purchasing use |
|---|---|---|
| E-flute | Fine profile with a smoother printable surface | Smaller or lighter products where presentation and compact size matter |
| B-flute | Good puncture resistance and everyday shipping performance | Ecommerce orders, retail replenishment and general transport cartons |
| C-flute | More cushioning depth and stacking support | Larger products and applications needing additional protection |
| BC double wall | Two fluted layers for demanding routes and heavier loads | Export cases, heavier products and multi-unit wholesale packs |
These descriptions are general guidance, not performance guarantees. Final board construction should be confirmed by sampling and, where needed, transport testing. For a closer comparison, see our guide to E-flute vs. B-flute and our overview of corrugated box types and uses.
Print the Outside, Inside or Both
Flexographic Print
Efficient for bold logos, handling marks and limited-colour designs on kraft or white corrugated board.
Litho-Laminated Print
A printed sheet is mounted to corrugated board for sharper colour, fine detail and presentation-led graphics.
Digital Print
Useful for prototypes, complex artwork and selected shorter-run applications, subject to size and material.
Available treatments can include matte or gloss lamination, aqueous coating and spot effects, depending on the printing method and transport requirements. Our team will flag finishes that may scuff or crack on folds before sampling. Need additional product restraint? Combine the shipper with custom box inserts, corrugated partitions, molded pulp or paper cushioning.
Right-Sizing Can Improve More Than Material Use
Carriers commonly compare a parcel’s actual weight with its dimensional weight and charge based on the applicable higher value. That makes unused space a commercial issue, not only a sustainability issue. The objective is to reduce avoidable void while preserving the clearance, cushioning and compression performance your product needs.
Inputs we review
Product dimensions and weight, items per box, fragile zones, orientation, inner packaging, maximum outer size, packing method, stack pattern, fulfilment workflow and destination market.
What you receive
A recommended structure and internal size, material proposal, dieline, artwork checks, sampling plan and a quotation aligned with quantity and delivery terms.
For procurement teams building a shipping brief, carrier resources such as UPS shipping-cost guidance and FedEx packing guidance are useful starting points. If formal distribution testing is required, review the procedures published by ISTA with your testing partner.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is your MOQ for custom corrugated shipping boxes?
Our standard MOQ is 1,000 units per size and design. Combining specifications may affect efficiency, so send your SKU list and we will recommend the most practical order split.
Can you make corrugated boxes in a custom size?
Yes. We manufacture to the required internal dimensions rather than limiting buyers to stock sizes. Please share product dimensions, packed orientation and any cushioning or inserts.
Do you provide free packaging design?
Yes. Structural and artwork-placement support is free for confirmed projects. A physical sample is charged because it requires material, printing, die cutting and assembly.
How long does sampling take?
A physical sample typically takes about 7 days after the size, structure, material and artwork are confirmed. Complex finishes or special materials can require additional time.
How long does bulk production take?
Mass production is typically about 30 days after final sample and artwork approval. The confirmed schedule will be stated with the quotation and depends on order volume and specification.
Can you ship DDP to the US, Canada or Australia?
Yes. DDP is available for many destinations in these markets. Provide the delivery postcode, quantity and carton specification so freight and import-related costs can be calculated accurately.
Which flute should I choose?
E-flute is compact and print-friendly; B-flute is a common general shipping option; C-flute provides more cushioning depth; and double-wall combinations suit more demanding loads. The correct choice must be verified against the product, route and test requirements.
Can the shipping carton be printed inside and outside?
Yes, subject to structure and print method. We can print the outside for transit branding and the inside for an opening message, instructions or campaign artwork.
Can you add partitions or protective inserts?
Yes. Options include corrugated dividers, paperboard inserts, molded pulp, EPE and EVA. For transport-first projects, we normally prioritize recyclable paper-based solutions when they can meet protection needs.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Please send internal dimensions (L × W × H), product and packed weight, quantity, destination postcode, print colours or artwork, preferred structure, material if known and any performance requirements.
