Custom Blind Boxes for Surprise Products
Custom blind boxes need an assortment and opening plan before the package can be scoped. Identify the surprise product, item range, approximate fit, box format, artwork status, order quantity, and delivery goal so each part of the quote has a clear purpose.
Bulk pricing

At a 50 unit minimum. Final price depends on size, material, and finishing.
Key Takeaway
Custom blind boxes should make assortment planning and the surprise opening feel intentional while giving each product a practical fit. Define the item range, box format, artwork, quantity, closure, and delivery plan before requesting a quote. Orders start at 50 units, with 100 or more units required for specialty rigid formats. Free design assistance can help organize the package system, and a digital proof gives you a layout to review before production. Production runs from about 7 business days, depending on the product, quantity, and finishing, plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. Confirm finishing and free US shipping for each run.
Half Price Packaging can help organize a connected package system for one or more versions. Orders start at 50 units, while specialty rigid formats require 100 or more units; free design assistance and a digital proof can support the artwork process.
Map the Assortment
List the products or variants that the blind box program will hold and identify the largest fit that must be accommodated. If multiple versions share a design system, separate their quantities and package requirements in the brief.
Describe the presentation you want when the box is opened, including any insert, orientation, or sequence your team has planned. This helps connect the exterior artwork with the practical way each item will be packed.
Shape the Surprise Experience
A blind box can be planned around a recognizable visual system, a reveal moment, or a collection of related designs. Share the audience, brand direction, copy, and finish preferences so the package supports the experience you want to create.
Do not rely on a generic assortment description when fit or presentation varies. Provide the actual product measurements, configurations, and quantities so the quote can address each package version with useful detail.
Prepare Artwork and Proofing
Free design assistance can help organize the package family, while a digital proof gives you a layout to inspect before production. Check the artwork, panel order, product copy, opening orientation, and version labels against your approved brief.
Keep the final proof aligned with the assortment plan and quantity. If the product mix or package format changes, raise the update before approval so the production request and delivery timing can be revisited.
Set Quantity and Delivery
Send the box style, packed dimensions, quantity by version, artwork status, finish preference, delivery ZIP code, and target arrival date with your request. Mention whether versions ship together or follow separate schedules.
Orders start at 50 units, with 100 or more units required for specialty rigid formats. Production runs from about 7 business days, depending on the product, quantity, and finishing, plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. Ask about free US shipping. Rush service is available on many styles for a premium of about 7 to 25%, depending on the job. Call (866) 225-2112 to discuss the project.
Frequently asked questions
What should a blind box packaging brief include?
Include the product range, largest packed dimensions, box format, quantity by version, artwork status, finish preference, delivery ZIP code, and target date. Add any insert or opening requirements your team has planned.
Can one project include several blind box versions?
Yes. List each version, quantity, product fit, artwork direction, and delivery need separately. That gives the quote enough detail to coordinate a shared package system without treating every configuration as identical.
Who determines the assortment plan?
Your team supplies the assortment plan and customer-facing copy. The packaging brief can address fit, artwork, versions, and quantities without setting a statistical outcome for the products inside.
Can I approve a proof before production?
Yes. Free design assistance can help organize the package family, and a digital proof can be provided for review. Check each version's artwork, copy, labels, and opening orientation before approving production.
What is the production and delivery timing?
Production runs from about 7 business days, depending on the product, quantity, and finishing, plus 2 to 5 business days for delivery. Include your destination and target date with the quote request.
