Custom Metal Boxes Planned Around Your Project
Start your custom metal box request with the job the package needs to perform in your project. Describe what it will hold, how it will be handled, the intended setting, your artwork status, and the quantity you want quoted.
Bulk pricing
From $0.38 per unit
At a 50 unit minimum. Final price depends on size, material, and finishing.
Key Takeaway
Custom metal box projects need a clear use brief before packaging details can be quoted. State what the box must hold, how it will be handled, the requested construction, artwork status, quantity, and destination. Do not assume a particular specification or build; describe those requirements for the quote. Orders start at 50 units, with 100 or more required for specialty rigid formats. Free design assistance can help organize the concept, 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.
Half Price Packaging can help organize a quote around your requested construction and use. Share the delivery destination and target date early, then use a digital proof to review the proposed artwork before production.
Start With the Intended Use
Start with the item or items the box should hold, how the package will be presented, and how it will be handled in its intended setting. Describe whether the project calls for a keepsake, retail, shipping, display, or another use.
Identify the quantity, artwork status, destination, and target date. A clear use brief lets the packaging conversation focus on the requirements that matter to your project.
Describe the Requested Build
Tell the team what kind of opening, access, closure, or display behavior the box must support, using your own project language. If a specific build or surface direction matters, state the requirement rather than assuming a standard option.
Keep the request tied to the intended use and contents. A quote can then address the requested scope without introducing an unasked-for component or result.
Coordinate Artwork and Approval
Provide the logo files, artwork, copy, panel priorities, and any brand directions your team has approved. Free design assistance can help organize an early concept, and a digital proof can be provided before production.
Use the proof to check spelling, artwork placement, panel order, and supplied instructions. Confirm that the approved artwork matches the requested use before authorizing production, especially when several versions share one project.
Build the Quote Request
Include the box purpose, requested construction, quantity, artwork status, delivery ZIP code, target date, and any required access or display details. If your project has several versions, list each scope separately so the quote can stay precise.
Orders start at 50 units. 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 or call (866) 225-2112 to discuss the brief. Rush service is available on many styles for a premium of about 7 to 25%, depending on the job.
