Boxing a candle, a serum, a snack or a gift set? Your logo, colors and product story go across the printed face. Cube, magnet and pillow boxes are on [custom box printing](https://www.4over4.com/custom-box-printing).

The tiers below show each total. ### Print more, pay less per print 9 quantity tiers, 250 to 25,000 prints - Quantity: 250 prints - Per print: $2.85 - Box total: $711.78 - You save: 0% - 500 prints, 50% off, $1.42 per print - 1,000 prints, 72% off, 79.7¢ per print - 5,000 prints, 84% off, 44.6¢ per print - 10,000 prints, 86% off, 40.4¢ per print - 25,000 prints, 87% off, 36.6¢ per print $2.85 per print at 250, 36.6¢ at 25,000 ### What Size Should a Retail Box Be The 5" x 7" x 1.7" box is the shallow one, for flatter items like a folded garment, a booklet or a set of accessories. The 5.5" x 5.5" x 2.625" is a deeper near-square for bottles, jars, candles or bundled goods. Smaller or rounder item?

If neither fits, look at the other shapes in the custom box range before you order. ### Is the inside of the box printed? No. Ink is 4/0, so the outside prints full color and the inside stays plain board.
