1. Types of Custom Packaging Accessible
There are many types of custom packaging accessible.

Before using any type of custom packaging, you should consider all the types. After that, select the one which suits your product needs. You would also have to consider the contents present on your boxes and their sizes.

2. Printing of the packaging
When you have selected the type of packaging you want, then you will have to move towards the printing. It is the time when you have to begin with the creation of the packaging. There are different printing technologies which can be used for customized packaging. The main printing methods which you should know for the customization of packaging are explained below:
• Flexographic Printing
Flexographic printing works similarly as a rubber stamp on a very large scale. There is a printing plate with the design of your box acts as a very large ink pad. It can spin on a rotary drum which then picks up the ink, and then it stamps on to the cardboard box.
• Expected Costs
The flexographic printing needs a printing plate which has to be created. It is the customized rubber stamp which is used to stamp your plan or design on to the box. The price really varies a lot. The expected cost will be about $1000 per plate. You will require an exceptional plate for each color. If you use four colors on your box, then you should need four printing plates.
• Least amount
Because of the machinery, most of the companies need around 1000 box minimums for every run.

• Digital Printing
It is the most common printing method which is used for smaller sized orders. This printing method is similar to your typical laser jet printer you can utilize at your house. This machine mix-ups the inks, and then it openly applies the design and shade to the box.
• Expected Costs
It is the printing which is generally too much expensive than the flexographic printing on a very small scale. There are different tools which are allowed for the big runs. However, this printing method is more easy to use, and it is also cheap in price then the flexographic printing.
• Least amount
This printing method needs to be least in amount, and with the caveat, the costs are much more expensive.

• Litho Label Printing
It is a printing method whose short form is litho-graphic. It gives a much cleaner and high-resolution printing that works similar to the wallpaper. This lithographic printing method is printed on the paper sheets. It is processed, cut and then they are attached to the box through a type of pastes and glues. When the entire box is covered up in the litho label, then it is known as the full label.
• Expected Costs
It is the printing which is too much costly. Its expected prices are all around 3000–5000 box marks. The litho-labels are just a bit expensive more than the traditional flexographic printing. They will provide you much spotless and higher resolution items.
• Least amount
This printing is too much flexible than digital and flexographic printing. The costs are higher than flexographic printing.
3. Choosing a Size
