Swag box
E-flute corrugated, multi-item fit200 minimum · 10 to 12 business daysA swag box is a branded mailer box built to hold a small assortment of items rather than one product, the format used for welcome kits, event gift bags, and employee or client appreciation sends. We produce them on E-flute corrugated from 200 units, ready in about 10 to 12 business days after proof.
When to choose it, and when not to
Choose a swag box for a welcome kit, conference giveaway, or client gift send where multiple branded items need to arrive together looking intentional, not loose in a plain shipping carton.
Choose a single-product mailer box instead if you're shipping one item rather than an assortment, since the multi-item insert tray here adds cost that isn't needed when there's nothing to keep separated.

Questions people ask
Can you build a custom insert tray for my specific item list?
Yes, send us your item list with rough dimensions (apparel, a mug, stickers, whatever the kit includes) and we'll design a die-cut tray that holds each piece in its own spot.
Is 200 units really the minimum for a fully custom kit box?
Yes, 200 is the minimum for this format. It is aimed at exactly this kind of smaller-batch welcome kit or event run rather than a high-volume retail product.
Can different item assortments ship in the same box design?
The box and tray are designed around one item list. If you have a few different kit variations with different items, each variation may need its own tray design, so tell us the variations and we'll advise on the most efficient approach.
Do you handle kitting and fulfillment, or just the box?
We produce the box and any interior components. Kitting and fulfillment (assembling and shipping the actual filled kits) is typically handled on your end or through a fulfillment partner.
Can I get an insert card or thank-you note included in the box design?
Yes, a printed insert card is a straightforward add-on. Ask us for a combined quote if you want it included with the box order.
What's a realistic lead time if I need these for a specific event date?
10 to 12 business days after proof approval is standard. If you have a hard event date, tell us up front and we'll flag whether it's realistic or whether we need to adjust your order timing.
How is a swag box different from a PR box?
Flexibility versus fit. A swag box holds an assortment that may change, apparel, drinkware, stickers and the like, in a die-cut tray or loose fill under a tuck-flap lid, which is what welcome kits, conference giveaways and client gifts need. A PR box is cut around one fixed product set, with a fitted cavity for each item and full print inside the lid and walls so the opening looks deliberate on camera. Both are E-flute mailers from 200 units in 10 to 12 business days after proof. Pick swag for volume kits with varied contents and the PR box for a short list of seeded products.
