Custom Packaging Boxes Styles
Choosing the right packaging style is more than just about protecting your product. When it comes to packing, one size definitely does not fit all.

Our custom box styles give businesses the flexibility to choose packaging that fits their product, their brand, and their customer, all at once. Whether you're a small business or a large brand, having access to our wide range of packaging box styles means you're never stuck with something that almost works. Our custom printed boxes by style let you combine structure and branding into a single, functional package. The result is packaging that protects, presents, and sells.

Explore Our Wide Range of Box Styles
There’s no shortage of options when it comes to packaging, and that’s a good thing. Across retail, food, cosmetics, e-commerce, and more, different industries need different structures, and having a range of styles to choose from means you can find something that genuinely fits your product. From flexible pouches to rigid display boxes, the styles we offer at Plus Printers AU cover pretty much every use case you can think of. Here’s a look at the main styles we have on offer.
Custom Window Boxes
Window boxes are one of our most popular options because they let customers see the product before they buy it. We supply them widely across food, cosmetics, and retail industries, where that visual appeal is exactly what convinces buyers. The clear window panel adds trust, and our custom print takes care of the branding. We produce these in multiple sizes and materials to suit your specific needs.
Die Cut Boxes
Our die cut boxes are a great pick when you need packaging that fits your product like a glove. They’re quite popular among our electronics, cosmetics, and retail clients because they leave no unnecessary space inside. That snug fit keeps the product from moving around during transit, which means fewer damages and a much cleaner look overall. We can produce them fully printed too.
Gable Boxes
Our gable boxes are pretty hard to miss, that peaked top and built in handle make them stand out right away. We produce them for gifts, baked goods, and promotional items, and what makes them a client favourite is how easy they are to carry, fill, and brand. Whether it’s an event, a retail shelf, or a gifting occasion, our gable boxes just fit right in.
Display Boxes
Our display boxes are made to sit right on a counter or shelf and show your product off in the most accessible way possible. Food brands, cosmetic companies, and retailers love them because they naturally pull attention at the point of sale. A well branded display box from Plus Printers AU pretty much does the selling on its own without any extra effort.
Dispenser Boxes
Our dispenser boxes are a handy option when your customers need to grab one unit at a time without tearing the whole thing open. They work really well for food, pharmaceutical, and retail clients whose products come in multiples. The dispensing feature keeps things neat and organised, which makes the whole buying experience feel smoother for your customers.
Mailer Boxes
Mailer boxes are basically the default choice for e commerce and subscription brands, and it’s easy to see why. We make them sturdy, self locking, and built to survive the whole journey from the warehouse right to someone’s front door. The inside is printable too, so we give you every surface for branding and help make that unboxing moment count.
Mylar Bags
If your product needs real protection from moisture, oxygen, or light, our Mylar bags are a solid option. We supply them widely across food, cannabis, and supplements for exactly that reason. On top of the protection, they are resealable, flexible, and we print across the full surface, so your packaging still looks great on the shelf.
Tuck End Boxes
There’s a reason our tuck end box style keeps showing up everywhere, they are simple to put together, budget friendly to produce, and versatile enough to work for cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, food, and retail all at once. We offer both straight tuck and reverse tuck depending on what your product actually needs.
Sleeve Packaging Box
Sleeve box style is a clever way to add branding without having to redo your whole packaging setup. At Plus Printers AU, we produce sleeves that simply slide over an existing box or tray and instantly give it a more premium feel. They are quite popular among our food, cosmetics, and retail clients, especially when brands want to switch things up for a season or a promotion without a big investment.
Stand Up Pouches
Flexible packaging that actually holds its shape on a shelf, that’s exactly what we deliver with our stand up pouches. We produce custom stand up pouch packaging for food, coffee, pet products, and health supplements because they are lightweight, resealable, and easy to print on. They take up less room than a rigid box and still give your brand plenty of space to make an impression.
Why Choosing the Right Box Style Matters
Grabbing the cheapest box just to get the job done is one of those decisions that catches up with you pretty quickly. At Plus Printers AU, we know that the style of your packaging plays a bigger role than most people think. It affects how safe your product stays during shipping. And how it looks sitting on a shelf, and what a customer actually feels when they open it. Get it right and your packaging starts working for your business. Get it wrong and it becomes something you are always trying to fix.
Product Protection We Offer
The structure of a box is really what decides how well your product makes it from point A to point B. At Plus Printers AU, we engineer our boxes so that a rigid box works great for fragile items, a corrugated mailer handles the rough and tumble of shipping, and the right choice keeps your product safe from the moment it is packed all the way until it is opened.
Branding & Shelf Appeal
For a lot of customers, your packaging is the very first physical thing they see from your brand. The right box style we produce gives your design the room it needs to actually stand out. Whether that is a window cutout showing off the product inside or a premium rigid box that already signals quality before anyone even lifts the lid, the style makes a real difference, and that is something we take seriously at Plus Printers AU.
The Unboxing Experience
The way a box opens is something most businesses do not think about nearly enough. We design our packaging so it opens smoothly, looks good on the inside, and feels considered, creating a moment customers tend to remember and talk about. That kind of experience does more for loyalty than most marketing campaigns ever will.
Shipping Efficiency
A box style built for transit saves space, cuts down on filler material, and brings your damage rate down. We offer options like self-locking mailer boxes and tuck end cartons that stack neatly and can genuinely make a difference to your shipping costs over time.
The right packaging improves protection, branding, and customer perception, and when all three are working together through what we provide at Plus Printers AU, it shows in how your business is received.
Customization Options for Every Box Style
Every box style we offer comes with a full range of customization options. No two businesses are the same, and the packaging shouldn’t be either. From the material you choose at Plus Printers to the finish on the surface, every detail can be customized to your product and your brand.
Materials We Offer
-
Cardboard
Lightweight and versatile, cardboard is one of the materials we work with most across retail, cosmetics, and food packaging. It prints well and suits products that don’t require heavy-duty protection.
-
Corrugated
For shipping and heavier products, corrugated is the stronger option we recommend. Our double-walled corrugated is particularly useful for electronics, auto parts, and anything fragile.
-
Kraft
Natural looking and eco-friendly, kraft is a material we supply to food brands, boutique retailers, and businesses that want to signal sustainability without sacrificing quality.
-
Rigid
We use rigid materials for premium products where the packaging itself communicates value. Rigid boxes don’t fold flat, which makes them feel substantial and luxurious in the hand.
Printing & Finishes
-
CMYK / Full Colour Printing
We offer full spectrum colour printing for photo-quality results on packaging. It’s the best option for brands that need vibrant, detailed artwork across the full surface.
-
Spot UV
We apply spot UV coating to specific areas of the design to create contrast between matte and glossy sections. It works particularly well on logos and product names.
-
Foil Stamping
Metallic or coloured foil applied to selected design elements is something we do to give packaging a premium feel that’s hard to achieve with print alone.
-
Embossing & Debossing
We offer both embossing and debossing to create raised or recessed text and imagery, adding a tactile element that makes packaging feel considered and high end.
Add-Ons
-
Inserts
We produce custom fitted inserts that hold products in position, prevent movement, and add a layer of presentation when the box is opened.
-
Windows
We offer cut-out panels with or without a film overlay, letting the product be seen before the box is opened, great for food, cosmetics, and retail.
-
Handles
We add handles to gift boxes, retail bags, and gable boxes for carrying convenience, elevating the overall customer experience.
No matter which style you’re working with, we offer full customisation across materials and finishes at Plus Printers AU, so the final product reflects your brand exactly as intended.
Custom Packaging Styles in Different Industries We Serve
Custom packaging isn’t a one industry thing. Businesses across a wide range of sectors rely on the right box style to get their products to customers in good shape and great presentation. The needs of a food brand are completely different from those of an e-commerce retailer or a cosmetics company, and customized packaging solutions exist for each of them.
- Retail Packaging Industry: Shelf ready packaging designed for visibility and brand consistency in physical stores
- Food & Beverage Industry: Food safe, grease resistant, and moisture proof options for restaurants, cafes, delivery brands, and producers
- Cosmetic Industry: Premium finishing and precise structural options for skincare, makeup, and wellness products
- E commerce Industry: Durable mailer boxes and shipping cartons built for transit and branded for unboxing
- Gift & Promotional Industry: Rigid boxes, gable boxes, and premium finish packaging for corporate gifting and special occasions
customized packaging solutions are available for each of these industries, because generic packaging rarely serves any of them well.
How to Choose the Best Box Style
Choosing a box style isn’t just about picking what looks good. It comes down to what your product needs, how it’s being shipped, and what you want your brand to communicate. The right answer depends on a few specific factors, and working through them one by one makes the decision a lot clearer.
Based on Product Type
Start with the product itself. Is it flat, cylindrical, fragile, or oddly shaped? A product that needs to be seen benefits from a window box. A product that needs to be held securely needs a die cut insert. Match the structure to what you’re actually putting inside it.
Based on Weight & Fragility
Heavier or more fragile products need more structural support. Corrugated boxes offer the wall strength needed for shipping heavy items. Rigid boxes protect delicate or high value products. Lighter, less fragile items can work well in cardboard tuck end cartons or flexible pouches.
Based on Branding Goals
If premium perception is important to your brand, rigid boxes and high end finishes like foil stamping or embossing deliver that. If eco friendly values are central, kraft materials and soy based inks tell that story. Your packaging should reflect what your brand stands for, not just what the product is.
Based on Shipping Needs
Products that are shipped frequently need packaging that holds up in transit and packs efficiently. Mailer boxes and corrugated cartons are built for this. If you’re selling in store, shelf ready display boxes or tuck end cartons are better suited to the retail environment.
