Custom printed boxes for DTC brands

From one sentence to boxes at your door.

Tell packpat what you sell. It finds a box that fits, designs every side as one piece, checks it on the factory’s own template, then has it printed and shipped. No designer to brief, no template to download, no files going back and forth.

Why packpat

Design tools stop at the picture. Box printers start at the file.

Both do their half well. The walk between them is usually yours: the artwork, the template, the checks, the emails. packpat was built to cover the whole path in one place.

A general picture of each category. Individual products differ, and many are excellent at what they focus on.

How it works

Five steps, and you only decide.

One guided path from a sentence to a delivered box. You can stop, save and come back at any point.

Made to be made

A nice picture is not a box yet.

A design only matters if it survives the factory. packpat treats that as part of designing, not as your homework afterwards.

  • Drawn on the factory’s template

    Your artwork sits on the same cut-and-fold drawing the factory uses, generated for your exact size. What you see folded in 3D is what gets cut.

  • Facts stay facts

    Barcodes, QR codes, ingredients and addresses come from what you enter and are drawn as exact vector artwork. AI never writes a claim, a number or a certification.

  • Problems come with their fix

    Sizes, picture sharpness, barcode validity, readable text and leftover sample content are checked before you can order, each with a plain instruction.

  • A proof before production

    Ask for a proof and nothing is printed until you approve it. After that you follow the order and the parcel from one page.

Five box styles, in your size.

Questions

The things people ask first.

Something else? Write to [email protected].

How does packpat work?

Describe your product and its size. packpat recommends boxes that fit, AI designs every side of the box as one coherent design, and you edit it in 3D: tap an element, paint over a region, or ask for a change in words. Then you see a live price, run the pre-order check and place your order.

Do I need design or packaging experience?

No. Box types are explained in plain language with what each is good and bad at. You start from a finished-looking design rather than a blank canvas, and the pre-order check tells you exactly what to fix before you order.

I already have a logo or finished artwork. Can I use it?

Yes. Upload your logo and images, let AI create the artwork, or mix both. Text, barcodes and QR codes are drawn as exact vector artwork, not as AI-generated pictures.

How many boxes can I order?

Supported styles are priced live for 100 to 1,000 boxes. Corrugated mailers and shipping cartons can also be ordered as 2 to 20 samples first. Rigid gift boxes and special finishes such as foil are not available online yet.

Where do you deliver?

Online ordering covers 38 countries and regions: the European Union and the UK, Switzerland and Norway, the US and Canada, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and Israel. Choose your country at checkout to see the shipping options and the total before you pay. US and Canada use our freight partner’s sea-express rates; the UK, Asia-Pacific and other destinations outside the EU are estimates for now. We currently estimate about 15–20 days by air and 22–28 days by sea, counted from the order and including production.

What does it cost?

Designing is free to try: 2 AI calls without an account and 12 a month with a free one. Boxes are priced live from your size, material, quantity and destination. Optional membership is $49.90 a year and includes a $60 print voucher.

What happens after I order?

Your design is checked for size, print resolution, barcode validity and readable text, and production files are prepared for the factory. You can ask for a proof to approve before production, then follow the order and its delivery from your order page and by email.

What if the boxes arrive wrong?

Our refund and reprint policy covers boxes that arrive damaged or do not match the approved design. It is linked at the bottom of every page.

Who owns the designs I create?

You do. As between you and packpat, you own the designs you create, subject to the Terms of Service, and you can download the print files. You are responsible for having the right to use any logo, image or text you upload.

Can the AI invent claims or ingredients?

No. packpat never lets AI invent facts such as ingredients, certifications, licence numbers or addresses. Those come from you, and sample content is clearly marked until you replace it.

See your box before lunch.

Start with a sentence. A few minutes later you have a finished design to react to, and a real price next to it.
