What are the custom printed boxes and Why Do They Matter?
Custom printed boxes are packaging boxes made to your size that carry your logo, colours and product details.
Picture a Lahore bakery owner or an online clothing brand opening a first batch of plain brown boxes. The product is good, but the box says nothing about the brand. Many first time buyers lose time because they pick a design before they know the right size or material. AQ Printing House in Lahore offers custom packaging products and packaging solutions for bakeries, cosmetic brands, online stores and corporate buyers.
After reading this guide, you will know which box type suits your product, how to choose the right material, size and finish, and how to order step by step without delays or reprints.

What mistakes should you avoid when ordering custom printed boxes?

- Send artwork at 300 dpi on the printer’s dieline.
- Approve a sample or proof before bulk production.
- Ask for rates at two quantities before you decide.
Does order quantity change the price of custom printed boxes?
Yes, order quantity changes the price per box. Setup costs for dies, plates and machines stay the same for a small or large run, so more boxes spread that cost. AQ Printing House in Lahore offers bulk discounts and quotes each job by size, material, colors, finish and quantity.
Why should you print your logo on your boxes?
Custom boxes with a logo help customers remember your brand and buy again. Every parcel that reaches a customer’s door shows your name, so the box works as free advertising. A plain box says nothing about you, while a printed box tells every buyer who made the product.
