Questions About Our Guides
Straight answers from the people who cut and print the boxes. Open any question to read the reply.
Which guide should I read first?
Start with choosing a kraft box for what you ship, then measuring. Board and print come after the style is settled.
Are the guides written for beginners?
Yes. They assume no packaging knowledge and explain each term the first time it appears.
Do I need to read the guides before ordering?
No. Our team guides you through every choice on the quote and the proof. The guides help if you like to plan ahead.
Can you send me a dieline for my box?
Yes. Once your size is settled we can send the box layout as a PDF for your designer.
Where can I see real printed examples?
The printing guide and each product page show photos of printed kraft boxes.
Do the guides cover food packaging?
The style guide covers bakery, gable and sweet boxes. Ask us about any specific requirements for your product.
Will you add more guides?
Yes, based on the questions customers send us most.
Can I share a guide with my designer?
Of course. Each guide has its own page you can link to.
Are measurements in the guides in millimetres?
Yes. We work in millimetres throughout, length by width by height.
Who writes the guides?
