If you are a screen printer you can print them yourself. The "homemade" look gives it a cool touch. You can buy almost any size box at packaging supply stores. I've printed boxes with Nazdar air dry inks and I know a guy who used straight plastisol. Very cool website by the way. I especially dig the celebrity endorsements.

I've been actually looking for a place to print custom shipping boxes and usually find places with high minimums. If it's possible to print on boxes through screen printing this is a method to take into consideration. If there is a good place to get a custom box that would be great. It seems centralpack is down anyone know of another good place?

Haha Linty Fresh does this, but I don't think the owner wants to give away any secrets!
Most places that provide printed boxes are going to print them flexo. (flexography) Much higher minimums than screen printing. Find a screen printer that does flatstock work (look under signs, graphics, decals, etc.) I printed my own sample boxes with waterbase ink and they came out really nice.
Buying a couple of dozen shipping boxes isn't going to break me at the bank, and it will be great for presentation. I hate the raggedy boxes that the shirts come in. I haven't had the time to mess with it in the past, so now is a good time to experiment. Besides, my employee needs something to do while on the clock.
Wow is it just my computer or has both the clothing company that started the thread and the other link went out of business already.
I get a coming soon on one and a search page on the other

Nice job!
Did you have to rig your platen any special way? How did you do it so the boxes didn't move during printing? What brand waterbased did you use. I assume they all will air dry on paper.
This is a mistaken assumption many companies make. Your budget on marketing should increase during slow times.
If you have to cut back on everything else, maintain or increase your marketing budget.
Yep. I have been doing speculative design work, which I never do when I'm swamped with orders, and one lead looks like I will get to design and print an entire clothing line for a start up company. Sitting on your hands and holding your breath waiting for things to change gets you nowhere. Ya gotta leave the cave and kill something.
