Color may come from flood-inked kraft or white board, dyed-through paper, or another supplier-specific material. Base sheet, ink, and finish affect appearance, edge visibility, and cost.
Flood printing applies ink across kraft paper or white liner, so the base can influence the custom color. Some premium corrugated stock is dyed through to reduce visible white edges. Matte, gloss, or other coatings may be available; confirm compatibility with the board, print process, recycling goal, and use. Request samples when color or feel matters.
Corrugated board profile, wall construction, and dimensions affect cushioning, rigidity, print surface, and space. Select them for weight, fragility, product size, box size, handling, and shipping needs.
E-flute and B-flute are common material options, but neither fits every custom corrugated box or corrugated cardboard box. Single wall or double wall may suit different requirements. For a custom size, ask the corrugated box manufacturer to review weight, orientation, void fill, stacking, and shipping method. Sampling may be appropriate.

|---|---|---|
| Self-locking mailer boxes | Subscription, e-commerce, and presentation deliveries | Confirm side-wall construction, closure, and insert needs |
| Regular slotted carton (RSC) | Transit, stacking, packing lines, and shipping labels | Allow for tape, handling, and load requirements |
| Gift box or presentation format | Retail display, launches, favors, and branded events | Balance appearance, opening sequence, and product fit |

Custom printing can include CMYK artwork, logos, text, patterns, and custom branding. A full color exterior builds recognition; inside printing extends the opening sequence. Quote outside-only, inside-only, or two-sided printing separately.
For custom printed corrugated, provide artwork, brand colors, printing surfaces, and the approved dieline. Confirm file format, bleed, color references, proofing, tolerances, and tooling. Printed boxes vary by process and substrate, so approve a proof or sample. Wholesale custom printed projects may have setup requirements.
Color corrugated boxes can often enter paper packaging recycling when clean, empty, and accepted locally. Coatings, adhesives, and local rules can change the route.
Ask whether the finished pack is recyclable at destination and whether recycled materials are available. “Biodegradable” and “eco-friendly” are not automatic properties; request evidence for either claim.
