We craft custom-branded packaging that turns heads, builds brands, and drives measurable business results. From custom boxes and mailer packaging to branded inserts and shipping bags, we deliver complete packaging solutions designed specifically for online businesses. Whether you’re launching on Amazon FBA, scaling Shopify stores, or building dropshipping brands, we provide custom packaging that protects products, impresses customers, and builds the brand equity that drives sustainable growth.
The Packtory was founded by three European dreamers who met in Asia, ran their own e-commerce brands, and faced the same pain: sourcing quality packaging in China was a nightmare. So, we fixed it.
We knew custom packaging could transform our businesses – professional boxes driving reviews, premium unboxing experiences justifying higher prices, branded packaging building recognition. But finding reliable custom packaging suppliers in China felt impossible amid language barriers, quality inconsistencies, and logistical complexity.
So we hit the ground in Southern China, visited factories, negotiated deals, and built a trusted network of top-tier printing partners. Since 2018, we’ve delivered over 300,000 custom packagings worldwide — combining Chinese manufacturing power with European service standards.
The biggest concern dropshipping businesses have about custom packaging is logistics complexity. We’ve solved these problems – our system integrates perfectly with typical dropshipping workflows.
Start by defining your custom packaging specifications based on your products, brand positioning, and budget.
During consultation, we recommend optimal specifications matching your products, brand vision, and budget. You choose the look, we lock in competitive pricing – no surprises, no hidden costs.
Once specifications are defined, our process ensures your custom packaging meets both your brand standards and operational requirements.
Your custom packaging manufactures at our vetted partner facilities in Southern China – workshops we personally inspected, tested, and built relationships with over years. Production typically takes 15-20 days with comprehensive quality assurance throughout.
We inspect every production stage, catching issues before they become problems. You receive custom packaging meeting your exact specifications – or we remake it at no charge.
Your custom packaging ships directly to wherever you need it – eliminating logistics complexity and reducing total costs.
This strategic approach is especially valuable for dropshipping businesses, Amazon FBA sellers, and e-commerce brands sourcing products from China.
No endless back-and-forth. No middlemen markup. Just simple, seamless custom packaging service.

Professional custom packaging creates visual memory – customers remember your brand specifically, not just ‘buying something online.’
For e-commerce businesses serious about building sellable brand equity rather than just processing transactions, custom packaging is essential infrastructure.
Custom packaging suppliers are plentiful. But finding one that combines Chinese manufacturing efficiency, European service standards, e-commerce expertise, and transparent pricing is rare. We built The Packtory specifically for e-commerce businesses after experiencing the frustrations ourselves.
Our 1000-unit minimums make professional custom packaging accessible:
1000 units typically represents a 3-6 months supply for small businesses – perfect for measuring real results (reviews, returns, repeat purchases) before reordering.
As you scale, we scale with you: 1,000 units (testing) → 2,000 units (10-15% savings) → 3,000+ units (20-30% savings). Perfect for scaling brands at every stage.
Your products are unique. Your custom packaging should be too.
We don’t force you into standard sizes that waste material and increase shipping costs. Custom boxes are actually custom – engineered specifically for your products and brand requirements. Tailor every detail to fit your products perfectly and present your brand professionally.
Professional custom packaging design shouldn’t require expensive agencies.
Whether you have complete print-ready designs or just a logo, our design team creates custom packaging that professionally represents your brand.
No hidden design fees. No per-revision charges. Free die-line templates and design support included as part of our service, not upsells.
The Packtory founders ran successful e-commerce businesses before starting this company. We personally experienced every frustration we now solve:

We understand you because we’ve been you.
We inspect every step to guarantee top-notch custom packaging:
We built our manufacturing network by personally visiting facilities in Southern China, testing quality, and establishing relationships with workshops meeting our European standards.
You receive custom packaging meeting specifications – or we remake at no charge. Quality is non-negotiable.
Sustainable materials for a cleaner planet – and smart business.

E-commerce margins are tight. Surprise costs destroy profitability.
What you’re quoted is what you pay. If we discover cost savings (more efficient sizing, alternative materials), we share savings rather than padding profits.
Transparent pricing, no surprises at checkout, no hidden costs.
From start to finish, we’re here to guide your custom packaging journey:
We combine Chinese manufacturing efficiency with European service standards – responding promptly, communicating clearly, solving problems proactively.
You’re not just ordering custom packaging – you’re partnering with a team invested in your success.
Custom packaging shapes customer experiences and drives business outcomes:
95% of customers say bad packaging can ruin the entire experience. Generic packaging actively hurts brand perception, reviews, and repeat purchase likelihood.
The difference between great and poor custom packaging isn’t subjective – it’s measurable in reviews, return rates, social shares, and customer lifetime values. Professional custom packaging is infrastructure for successful e-commerce, not optional luxury.
Custom packaging creates free marketing most businesses never achieve:
Each share reaches 200-500 people. For beauty brands and lifestyle products, user-generated unboxing content often performs better than paid advertising – at zero acquisition cost.
Custom packaging transforms every order into marketing asset generating ongoing value beyond the initial transaction.
Customer retention determines e-commerce profitability:
When first-purchase margins are thin, profitability requires repeat purchases. Custom packaging drives retention that determines success.
Businesses investing in professional custom packaging see 40-60% higher repeat purchase rates – directly improving customer lifetime values and overall profitability.
Custom packaging costs vary significantly based on specifications:
Budget-Friendly Custom Packaging:
Standard Custom Packaging:
Premium Custom Packaging:
Rule of Thumb: Custom packaging should represent 3-8% of retail price. For $30 products, budget $0.90-2.40 for packaging.
Volume discounts available: Larger orders (1,000-5,000+ units) save 20-40% versus minimum orders.
We make custom packaging design simple, regardless of your design experience:
Option 1: We Design For You (Free) Share your logo, brand colors, and vision. Our designers create custom packaging designs with unlimited revisions until perfect. Most customers choose this – it’s included free.
Option 2: You Design, We Produce If you have design resources, we provide die-line templates showing exact dimensions and printing specifications. You create designs, we ensure they’re print-ready and manufacture.
