Design Your Box
Choose a box, upload your logo and move it into place. It is a quick way to show us what you have in mind, and a designer turns it into a proper print proof for free.
Place Your Logo on a Real Box
Pick a photo on the left, upload your logo, then drag it or use the arrow keys. The size slider makes it bigger or smaller.
How Does Design Your Box Work?
The photos are of boxes we make. When you upload a logo it is laid over the photo so you can judge size and position. It is a guide, not the final artwork: the photo is a perspective shot, while your proof is drawn flat on the real dieline at full scale.
- Choose the box style closest to what you need.
- Upload your logo as a PNG, JPG or SVG.
- Drag it into place and set the size.
- Add the inside size, quantity and your email.
- Send it, and we reply with a price and a free proof.
What Makes a Logo Print Well on Cardboard?
Simple shapes and solid colours print cleanest on corrugated board, especially brown kraft, where fine detail can soften slightly. A logo with a transparent background is easiest to place. If you only have a JPG with a white box around it, send it anyway and we will tidy it for the proof.
- Vector files (PDF, AI, SVG) give the sharpest result
- Thin lines under about 0.5 mm can fill in on kraft
- Dark colours show best on brown board
- White board suits photos and full colour artwork
Is the Picture I Send the Final Design?
No. It shows us your intention. A designer places your artwork on the flat dieline of your actual size, checks the panels, folds and glue flap, and sends that as a proof. Nothing is printed until you approve it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering and Price
Do I need to finish the design before asking for a price?
No. Many buyers send a rough idea first. The price depends on colours and coverage, which we can estimate from a sketch.
Does it cost extra to use Design Your Box?
No. The preview and the proof that follows are both free, whether or not you go ahead.
Printing and Artwork
Which file types can I upload?
PNG, JPG, SVG or WebP files up to 3 MB work in the preview. For printing, a PDF or AI file is best, and you can attach it to any quote form.
Why does my logo look see-through on the box?
The preview blends the logo with the board so it looks printed. White areas in a JPG disappear on brown photos, which is close to how ink sits on kraft.
Can I put my logo on more than one side?
Yes. Tell us which panels in the message box, and the proof will show every printed side.
Can I add text as well as a logo?
Yes. Type the wording in the message box, such as a web address or handling note, and we set it in a matching style on the proof.
How big can my logo be?
On most boxes the print can run close to the edges of each panel. The proof shows the safe area so nothing falls on a fold.
Will the colours match my brand exactly?
We match as closely as the board allows. Brown kraft shifts colours slightly darker, which the proof notes so you can decide.
Can I print a pattern rather than a logo?
Yes. Full colour print can cover whole panels with a pattern or photo. Send the artwork or describe it and we will advise.
What happens to the picture I send?
It is attached to your request so our designer can see what you want. It is not used for anything else.
No question matches that word. Try another, or ask us directly below.
