FAQ
Add-ons: questions
Which boxes can have a magnetic closure?
Magnetic closures are built into rigid boxes, including hinged book-style rigid boxes and collapsible rigid boxes that ship flat. Rigid boxes start at 50 units.
Can a box window be cut into a custom shape?
Yes. Because windows are cut on a custom die made for your box, the opening can be a rectangle, circle, arch or a custom silhouette, with no die charge. Just keep enough board around the edges so the panel stays sturdy.
Do you also make custom box inserts that hold products in place?
Yes. We make custom card and corrugated inserts, molded pulp, EVA foam and EPE foam inserts sized around your jars, bottles or kits, plus custom printed tissue paper and thank-you cards.
Is there an extra die charge for custom shapes or windows?
No. CubitPack charges no die or plate fees. Any cost for window film, magnets, ribbons or handles is built straight into the unit price on your quote.
Are ribbons pre-attached, and can I pick the ribbon color?
Drawer-box ribbon pull tabs are built into the tray, and ribbon closures are fitted onto the box. Tell us the ribbon color you want with your quote; your account manager confirms available colors and any kitting requests.
Which packaging options come with carry handles?
Gable boxes have a handle built into the top fold, briefcase-style boxes use a carry handle on the top panel, and custom paper shopping bags come with handles.
Can I request a free digital proof and 3D mockup showing add-ons on my box?
Yes. Every order with add-ons includes free design help, a custom dieline, a 2D digital proof, and a 3D mockup before you pay so you can check placement and finishes.
Are there any die or plate charges when adding add-ons to my custom packaging order?
No. CubitPack charges zero die or printing plate fees on add-ons, and standard US shipping to all 50 states is included in your written quote.
How fast can I get a custom quote comparing unit prices with and without add-ons?
Send your product dimensions and up to three quantity tiers in the quote form, and your dedicated account manager replies in 5–7 minutes, 24/7, with side-by-side pricing.
Can I see add-ons in person inside the CubitPack sample kit or on a physical prototype?
Yes. You can order our physical sample kit (credited to your first order) to feel board and finish swatches, or request a custom pre-production prototype before a full run.
