Material Cost
Normally, the price on both custom and stock corrugated boxes falls as the order quantity increases, and economies of scale is reached. The price differential is usually most pronounced on small orders. In many cases with other corrugated manufactures, the price of custom boxes can be cost prohibitive when purchased in lots of 20 to 100. But this is not the case when purchasing custom boxes with Cardboardboxes4u.com! Custom corrugated pricing is based in large part on our linerboard footage volume not yours. You can count on competitive pricing for custom box runs regardless of order size. Our flexible box making equipment runs custom size box orders in lots of 20 to a 100 or more and are very competitively priced.

Purchased in large volume – full truckload shipments, for instance – the price gap narrows, and the custom size can even be less expensive than the standard alternative. Some corrugated manufacturers and distributors warehouse custom boxes for customers in order to increase the run size and thereby reduce the purchase price. However this strategy only displaces the dilemma of storing corrugated without totally fixing the problem.

Storage Cost
Anyone who has purchased corrugated containers knows that they consume a great deal of floor space. One of the great advantages of standard size shipping boxes is that they can be delivered in small quantities with an extremely short lead time. As mentioned above, warehousing programs can be implemented for custom boxes, but due to logistical factors this option is not always economical. Even so, the purchasing staff should keep in mind that the price of a stock box and a custom box includes a storage cost component, as stock boxes are being stored somewhere, usually in a distribution warehouse in large volume.

Procurement Cost
Stock boxes have a clear advantage in the ease and speed of ordering. Pricing, specifications, and delivery options are normally straightforward, although within the last few years we are seeing a paradigm shift occur where the dynamics and price differential of custom box manufacturing is aligning with stock box inventories because of machine flexibility. From a traditional custom box perspective the purchasing staff must maintain detailed specifications and review price and procurement options on a regular basis. With no other alternatives this has always been a disadvantage for purchasing managers to maintain custom box inventories with any efficacy. Advanced technology is making it much more seamless and simple to have custom size box orders on demand helping to eliminate overages in ordering and obsolescence in corrugated boxes.

Associated Costs
Utilizing a standard size box often means making a compromise on packaging efficiency. A good custom corrugated container design often reduces the size of a shipping box, thus eliminating the challenge of shipping air while adding strength. This can reduce the need for protective packaging, (packaging peanuts, bubble wrap, air pillows and cushions) by improving packaging line productivity and a reduction in product damage.
