Bulk pricing
From $0.38 per unit
At a 50 unit minimum. Final price depends on size, material, and finishing.
Key Takeaway
Custom aluminum boxes should be quoted from a buyer-defined project brief covering the contents, fit, artwork, quantity, destination, and any material or performance criteria that must be considered. State which requirements are mandatory and which remain open before the quote is prepared. Orders start at 50 units; specialty rigid formats require 100 or more units. Free design assistance can organize supplied artwork, and a digital proof before production helps confirm the layout. Production runs from about 7 business days, depending on the product, quantity, and finishing, plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. Free US shipping is available.
Separate mandatory requirements from preferences and identify unresolved decisions before requesting the quote. Free design assistance and a digital proof before production can help coordinate the package without assigning unrequested qualities.
Start With the Project Contents
Name the product, parts, or grouped items the box will hold and explain how the package will be used. Include the pieces that travel together and any version differences.
A precise contents list keeps the conversation tied to the actual project. Do not rely on a generic box description when the buyer has a defined use.
Write Down Fit Requirements
Provide fit guidance, opening preference, and any arrangement the buyer wants considered. If the fit changes by version, list each version beside its contents and quantity.
Keep confirmed details separate from open questions so the quote can address the right decisions. This is especially useful when artwork and project criteria vary together.
Separate Mandatory Criteria
State the material requirements, performance criteria, and other project conditions supplied by the buyer. Use exact wording where a specific criterion matters to the order.
If a requirement is still undecided, identify it instead of filling the gap with an assumption. The quote can then reflect what is known and what needs a decision.
Coordinate Artwork and Proof
Send buyer-supplied logos, labels, copy, and panel priorities for each version. Free design assistance can help arrange the supplied files around the defined project direction.
A digital proof before production gives you a point to confirm artwork, wording, and version details. Keep changes grouped by requirement set so the final layout remains easy to follow.
Set Quantity and Delivery
Orders start at 50 units; specialty rigid formats require 100 or more units. Add quantities, destination, and requested arrival window to the brief.
Production runs from about 7 business days, depending on the product, quantity, and finishing, plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. Free US shipping is available. Call (866) 225-2112 if you want to discuss the project by phone. Rush service is available on many styles for a premium of about 7 to 25%, depending on the job.
