## Package Your Product in a Box That Looks Worth More

### What Are Gloss Boxes

Gloss boxes are custom-printed folding boxes for retail shelves, gifts, subscriptions, mailers and presentation kits. For a subscription or unboxing build, our guide to [custom printed subscription boxes](https://www.4over4.com/guide/custom-subscription-box-printing-guide-design-sizes-and-unboxing) covers the design and the sizes.

### What Size Should Your Gloss Box Be

Pick the size by the product going inside. The default 5" x 7" x 1.7" is a flatter, wider box that suits apparel, flat goods, or a set of cards and prints. The 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625" is squarer and deeper, with room for a candle, a small jar or a bundle of items.

### Gloss Boxes , Configured Your Way

2 option groups, 4 choices, defaults: 14pt Uncoated Cover

The [blank gloss box template](https://www.4over4.com/blank-templates) lays the box out flat at real size, with the fold lines and bleed drawn in, so each panel of your art lands on the right face once the box is folded. There is one for the 5" x 7" box and one for the 5.5" square box.

### How Much Do Gloss Boxes Cost

Gloss boxes start at $711.78 per 250 units, about $2.85 a box, and the per-box price falls at each of the 9 tiers toward 25,000, where a box runs roughly $0.37. A 1,000-unit run is $797.02, under 80 cents a box. Drag the slider below to your production count for the total and the unit cost.

## Wally boxes up your product in gloss

Why a run of printed boxes makes a product look worth more.

### Gloss Boxes Price By Quantity

250 for $711.78 ( $2.85 each) up to 10,000 for $4,044.70 ( 40.4¢ each)

- $711.78 $2.85 per unit, 250 250 units 10,000, Up to 86% less per unit at 10,000

### What Materials Can You Choose

The material sets both the look and the sturdiness of the box. The 18pt cover with a gloss coating on one side is the headline stock: heavier, rigid, and glossy on the outside so print reads sharp and vivid. The 14pt uncoated cover is a lighter option with a natural, matte surface for a more understated, tactile feel.

### How Are Your Gloss Boxes Printed and Proofed

Only the outside prints, so the inside stays clean for your product. Before anything prints you can request a [free online proof](https://www.4over4.com/benefit/free-proofs) to confirm color and layout, or choose straight to production when your file is already locked. The run starts once you approve.

### How Do Gloss Boxes Compare to Our Other Boxes

## Gloss Boxes: Frequently Asked Questions

### What file formats can I upload?

Boxes print from a print-ready PDF, JPG or PNG file. PDF is the safest of the three for packaging artwork because it holds vector type and line work at full sharpness. Whichever you send, build it at the finished box dimensions rather than scaling a smaller file up.

### What is the smallest order and what does it cost?

The smallest run is 250 boxes, and 500 boxes cost the same total, so the second tier halves the price of each box.

### Can I get a box that is not one of the stock sizes?

No. This box comes in its 2 stock sizes only, 5" x 7" x 1.7" and 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625". The other box styles on the custom box printing page come in other shapes and sizes.
