Showcase Your Business' Curated Items in Premium Custom Subscription Boxes


Today’s online consumer seeks experiences through the items they order. Curated items make up the majority or 55% of e-commerce subscriptions, according to McKinsey and Company’s 2018 study. When it comes to food, skincare, and apparel, consumers trust custom subscription boxes to provide a variety of items put together for their specific needs. Your customers don’t just want better skin—they want a full skincare routine based on their skin type or a set of ingredients with their health goals in mind.

Your subscription box packaging serves as the first tactile experience of these curated items. After all that online interaction, customers look forward to opening the box and unveiling the items they’ve been waiting for. It’s the first physical opportunity for your brand to make a lasting impression, so every detail needs to count. PrintPlace gives you complete control of your design, from choosing the size, material, and quantity to seeing the box in 3D on your browser.


How to Customize Your Subscription Boxes


Input dimensions based on the items delivered in your curated sets.


You can combine the length, width, and depth that will fit the variety of products and the design of your curated subscription box. The range for each dimension is as follows:

  • Length starts at 3” and goes up to 25”
  • Width is a minimum of 2” up to a maximum of 25”
  • Depth goes from 1” to as deep as 15”

If you’re not sure about the subscription box measurement, the preview will show the approximate appearance after the specs are indicated.

Print in a corrugated cardboard material that represents your brand and sets the correct impression.


All subscription boxes are made of thick and sturdy corrugated cardboard. This three-layer material can withstand the external impact and multiple handling the items go through while in transit. Choose a color that will match the minimalism or lavishness of your branding:

  • Standard white offers a smooth, clean, and fresh look for the simplest designs. It provides that high-end finish without the luxury price.
  • Premium white is a smart investment for luxury brands that need to present their best selves forward.
  • Premium white with glossy ink emphasizes specific elements. Apply a shiny gloss to your logo, company name, or customer message so customers immediately see your branded visuals.
  • Kraft (brown) is mostly made of recyclable materials, making it the most sustainable and eco-friendly option. Its natural color doesn't require printing or processing, with a simple yet elegant look that suits rustic and organic brands.

Use the online design tool or request a flat dieline file to edit your print-ready file.
