Packwire® Procurement Pro™
Procurement Pro is Packwire's account program for businesses that order packaging on a schedule: a subscription box every month, a seasonal run every quarter, or an annual forecast released in batches. One custom run doesn't need it; the quote above covers that.
It's built for whoever owns packaging spend, whether that's a procurement team, an operations lead or a founder doing it themselves, and whose job gets easier when one supplier holds the spec, the schedule and the pricing.
To start, tick Recurring orders in the form and tell us the cadence or the yearly volume. You'll get a quote structured around it, and an account manager from the first order.
Named account manager
One person handles every order from first spec to your dock: quoting, proofs, scheduling and freight.
Specs on file
Approved dielines, color standards and board grades are saved to your account. Reorders skip re-proofing unless something changes.
Forecast pricing*
Per-unit pricing held across your annual forecast, with releases on your schedule instead of a new quote each time.
Production planned around you
Slots scheduled to your calendar, with split shipments to several locations when you need them.
Invoicing on terms*
Wire, ACH or invoice, with one consolidated bill per release.
Cost reviews
A periodic look at right-sizing, board swaps and print method changes that lower your per-unit cost.
* Program terms. Procurement Pro is offered at Packwire's discretion. Payment terms and consolidated invoicing are subject to a credit evaluation, which includes a business credit report from Dun & Bradstreet or Equifax, trade references and a signed credit application, and may be adjusted or withdrawn based on payment history. Packwire is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by Dun & Bradstreet or Equifax; their names are used only to identify the source of the report. Forecast pricing is held for the agreed period and quantities and may be revised if board, ink or freight costs change materially or the forecast is not met. Production scheduling depends on capacity at the time of release. All orders remain subject to Packwire's Terms and Conditions.
What a custom packaging quote covers
The configurator covers four box types in digital print at the sizes and quantities it lists. A quote opens the rest: any size on those four, more print methods, more board grades, and structures we don't sell online.
Mailer boxes
The e-commerce shipper. Any size by quote, full print inside and out, inserts and dividers cut to the product.
Mailer boxes ›
Shipping boxes
Regular slotted cartons in single or double wall, custom dimensions, HD Flexo at volume for the lowest per-unit cost.
Shipping boxes ›
Folding boxes
SBS and C1S paperboard cartons for retail shelves, subscription kits and secondary packaging, in custom sizes by quote.
Folding boxes ›
Rigid boxes
Set-up boxes for premium goods, kits and gifting, with foil, spot UV and soft-touch finishes and fitted inserts.
Rigid boxes ›Print methods
- Digital print
Single-pass and multi-pass UV inkjet straight onto the board. No plates, no tooling, fast turns. The default for short and mid-size runs and for photo-quality artwork.
- HD Flexo
Direct-print flexography for high-volume runs where throughput and per-unit cost matter most. Shipping cartons and heavy-duty logistics packaging at scale.
- Litho lamination
Offset-printed sheets mounted to corrugated. Photographic quality and a shelf-ready finish for retail and premium runs.
- Cutting
CAD tables and laser for die-less short runs, traditional die cutting once quantity justifies the tooling.
Board, structures and materials
- Corrugated grades
E, B and C flute, plus BC and EB double wall for stacking strength. The packaging board chart has the ECT and burst numbers behind each grade.
- Folding cartons
SBS and C1S/C2S paperboard for retail shelving, subscription kits and secondary packaging that needs a clean, printable surface.
- Specialty board
N and F micro-flute for tighter folds and finer print, and boards sourced to a specific crush-test target when a spec calls for one.
- Liners and finishes
Kraft, white top, mottled white and clay-coated liners, with foil stamping, spot UV, soft-touch lamination and debossing on rigid and folding work.
Beyond the box
If it's part of packing your product, ask for it in the same quote. One supplier, one invoice, one delivery.
Inserts and void fill
Corrugated inserts, dividers and platforms cut to your product, plus crinkle paper, air pillows or foam when the project calls for it.
Retail displays
Counter displays, PDQ trays and floor-standing pallet displays, structurally engineered to hold your product and printed to match.
Bags
Printed poly mailers, paper bags and retail shopping bags in custom sizes, with full-color branding on both sides.
Tubes
Rigid paper tubes for posters, cosmetics and gifting, with custom diameters, printed wraps and end caps.
How to request a custom box quote
Send the request
Use the form above, email hello@packwire.com, or call 1-800-881-6093. Attach anything that helps: a dieline, artwork or a reference photo.
We quote it
As soon as we can, with the quote or the questions we need answered first. The quote lists every spec: style, dimensions, board, print, finish, quantity, lead time and shipping.
Confirm the order
Tell us the quote works and we confirm the order back to you in writing, with the final specs for the run.
Proof, production, delivery
Approve your proof and production starts; from that point the order can't be cancelled. Standard production is typically 10–20 calendar days, then the boxes ship to you or to several locations.
Ready to price your next run?
Send the spec you have, even if it's partial. We'll come back with per-unit pricing at your quantities, a production window and a shipping estimate.
Quote questions
What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
Our minimum order is 10 units for mailer boxes and corrugated shipping boxes. For rigid and folding boxes, it's 500 units.
Want to see and feel one first? Order a single printed mailer sample right from our 3D configurator. Just set the quantity to 1. It's $35 plus $6.25 shipping to the continental US, Alaska or Canada ($41.25 delivered).
Need fewer rigid or folding boxes than the minimum? Short runs are possible case by case. Setting up a run takes about the same machine time and hands-on work for 50 boxes as for 500. On a short run that cost is shared by far fewer boxes, so the price of each one climbs steeply. If a higher price per box still works for your project, tell us what you need. We'll tell you honestly what a short run would cost.
How long is your production time?
Production time is usually 10-20 calendar days, depending on quantity and box style. Rigid boxes take longer, about 30 days. Each one goes through more production steps, with an operator at every step.
Transit adds roughly one day to a week, depending on where you are and how big the order is. All in, plan on about 2-4 weeks door to door for mailer, shipping and folding boxes, and about 5-6 weeks for rigid boxes. Enter your ZIP code on any box page or at checkout to see an estimated delivery date. Planning a launch? Confirm exact dates with us first.
Production starts once you approve your online proof, so that's when the clock starts.
Need it sooner? Just ask. When our schedule allows, we often expedite at no extra charge, and rush options are there for tighter deadlines. Contact us with your timeline and we'll do our best to make it work.
Can you produce more than 2,000 units?
Yes. We regularly produce runs well above 2,000 units.
Our 3D configurator stops at 2,000 units (3,000 for folding boxes). That's a limit of the online tool, and our team quotes anything above it.
Bigger runs usually get a better price per box. We may also print them with HD Flexo or Litho Lamination for even higher quality at scale. Contact us with your quantity, box style and size, and we'll send you a quote.
What factors affect my box pricing?
Your price depends on size, box style, material and quantity. For mailer and shipping boxes, ink coverage counts too. The more you order, the less you pay per box.
Our 3D configurator measures how much of the box your artwork covers and reprices live in four bands: 0–25%, 25–50%, 50–75% and 75%+. A small logo lands in the lowest band, artwork covering the whole box in the highest. Folding and rigid boxes ignore coverage.
A mailer printed inside only counts as one-sided. Artwork on both the outside and the inside makes it two-sided, priced as full outside coverage plus 60%. We can print inside other box styles on request. Contact us for a quote.
Do you offer discounts for bulk orders or wholesale pricing?
Yes. Volume pricing is built into every quote. The more you order, the less you pay per box, and you can watch the price update live in our 3D configurator. For larger orders, contact us with your quantity and specs and we'll quote your volume pricing.
We also offer a military and first responder discount on top of your volume pricing. One promotion or discount applies per order.
Will you price match if I find a lower quote elsewhere?
Yes. Packwire will do its best to match a lower quote from another provider. It depends on the box type, quantity and printing process, so send us the quote and we'll take a look.
Do you charge any setup fees?
No. Products on our website have no setup fees. Setup fees only apply to specialized custom products or complex projects that aren't listed online. Contact us for the specifics on yours.
Can you split orders?
Yes, we can split an order across several addresses. Whether it's a warehouse and a retail location or several facilities, we'll coordinate it. Additional shipping fees may apply depending on the number of destinations. Get in touch with your shipping details and we'll send you an exact quote.
