Packaging for Subscription Boxes

Subscription packaging needs to be repeatable. It should fit the changing monthly contents, assemble efficiently and create a recognisable experience without making fulfilment harder than it needs to be.

Packaging for Subscription Boxes packaging example
Use the product, route to customer and quantity to choose the right packaging specification.

Allow for the range of contents

Share the smallest and largest expected packed orders, the heaviest item and any fragile products. This helps determine whether one mailer can cover the range or whether two formats are more sensible.

  • Include the packed height with tissue, inserts or cards.
  • Mention whether the contents change every month.
  • Consider an insert or divider when products could knock together.

Consider packing speed

A well-sized mailer with an intuitive closure can save time across a recurring run. We can review the structure and artwork together before approving a production quantity.

Keep reorders straightforward

Keep the approved dimensions, artwork and specification with your quote records. When a new run is needed, send the previous details and the new quantity for review.
