Professional Custom Packaging Solutions for E-Commerce, Amazon FBA & Dropshipping Businesses
We craft custom-branded packaging that turns heads, builds brands, and drives measurable business results. From custom boxes and mailer packaging to branded inserts and shipping bags, we deliver complete packaging solutions designed specifically for online businesses. Whether you’re launching on Amazon FBA, scaling Shopify stores, or building dropshipping brands, we provide custom packaging that protects products, impresses customers, and builds the brand equity that drives sustainable growth.
The Packtory was founded by three European dreamers who met in Asia, ran their own e-commerce brands, and faced the same pain: sourcing quality packaging in China was a nightmare. So, we fixed it.
We knew custom packaging could transform our businesses – professional boxes driving reviews, premium unboxing experiences justifying higher prices, branded packaging building recognition. But finding reliable custom packaging suppliers in China felt impossible amid language barriers, quality inconsistencies, and logistical complexity.
So we hit the ground in Southern China, visited factories, negotiated deals, and built a trusted network of top-tier printing partners. Since 2018, we’ve delivered over 300,000 custom packagings worldwide — combining Chinese manufacturing power with European service standards.
The biggest concern dropshipping businesses have about custom packaging is logistics complexity. We’ve solved these problems – our system integrates perfectly with typical dropshipping workflows.
Why China Delivery Matters: Most e-commerce products manufacture in China. By delivering custom packaging to your Chinese suppliers, you eliminate expensive international freight for empty boxes – products and packaging ship together to customers, dramatically reducing total logistics costs.
Custom packaging suppliers are plentiful. But finding one that combines Chinese manufacturing efficiency, European service standards, e-commerce expertise, and transparent pricing is rare. We built The Packtory specifically for e-commerce businesses after experiencing the frustrations ourselves.
Our 1000-unit minimums make professional custom packaging accessible. Test custom packaging impact before large investments, try multiple designs (A/B test different approaches), launch new products without huge inventory risks, and validate markets before scaling.
As you scale: 1,000 units (testing) → 2,000 units (10-15% savings) → 3,000+ units (20-30% savings)
Your products are unique. Your custom packaging should be too. Any dimensions (custom boxes fitted precisely to products), any style (mailer boxes, rigid boxes, bags, pouches, custom structures), any materials (kraft, white cardboard, specialty papers, eco-friendly options), any printing and finishes.
We don't force you into standard sizes - custom boxes are actually custom.
Professional custom packaging design shouldn't require expensive agencies. Custom die-line templates, 3D mockup visualizations, unlimited design revisions, print-ready artwork preparation - all included free with every order.
No hidden design fees. No per-revision charges.
The Packtory founders ran successful e-commerce businesses before starting this company. We personally experienced finding quality suppliers in China, coordinating logistics, managing MOQs, dealing with language barriers, and understanding e-commerce economics.
We built the custom packaging service we wished existed.
We inspect every step: pre-production samples, material inspections, in-line printing checks, structural testing, final inspection before shipping. We built our manufacturing network by personally visiting facilities in Southern China.
You receive custom packaging meeting specifications - or we remake at no charge.
Sustainable materials for a cleaner planet. Recycled content materials (80-100% post-consumer recycled), soy-based inks, FSC-certified papers, biodegradable and compostable options, plastic-free alternatives.
73% of consumers willing to pay more for sustainable packaging.
E-commerce margins are tight. Surprise costs destroy profitability. Complete quote covering all production costs upfront, design support included, shipping to China included, no surprise minimums or unexpected add-ons.
What you're quoted is what you pay.
From start to finish, we're here to guide your custom packaging journey. Initial consultation, design phase, production, delivery coordination, reorder management - complete support throughout.
European service standards with Chinese manufacturing efficiency.
97% of customers say great packaging makes the shopping experience unforgettable. For e-commerce where physical touchpoints are limited, custom packaging becomes THE defining experience.
95% of customers say bad packaging can ruin the entire experience. Generic packaging actively hurts brand perception, reviews, and repeat purchase likelihood.
49% of buyers share purchases on social media naturally. 83% specifically share quality packaging on Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook when packaging is memorable.
Each share reaches 200-500 people. User-generated unboxing content often performs better than paid advertising – at zero acquisition cost.
52% of consumers are more likely to repurchase from brands with memorable packaging. Customer acquisition costs average $25-45.
When first-purchase margins are thin, profitability requires repeat purchases. Custom packaging drives retention that determines success.
Custom packaging costs vary significantly based on specifications:
**Budget-Friendly Custom Packaging:**
• Kraft mailer boxes (black printing): $0.40-0.70/unit

**Premium Custom Packaging:**

• Fully custom projects: $3.00-10.00+/unit

Custom packaging refers to packaging designed and manufactured specifically for your brand and products, rather than using generic, off-the-shelf packaging.
**Custom packaging includes:**
• Custom sizes fitted precisely to your products
• Your branding (logo, colors, graphics, messaging)
• Materials and styles chosen for your needs
• Printing and finishes reflecting brand positioning
Unlike generic packaging (plain boxes, standard poly mailers), custom packaging creates branded experiences that:

• Justify premium pricing
• Protect products optimally
• Create shareable unboxing moments
• Differentiate from competitors
For e-commerce businesses, custom packaging transforms anonymous deliveries into brand-building opportunities.

**Custom Boxes:**
• Mailer boxes (shipping and brand packaging combined)
• Rigid boxes (premium, non-collapsible luxury packaging)
• Folding cartons (retail-ready product boxes)
**Custom Bags & Mailers:**
• Poly mailers (waterproof shipping bags)
• Paper bags (retail shopping bags)
• Bubble mailers (padded protection)
**Custom Inserts & Accessories:**
• Insert cards (thank you cards, discount codes)
