Description
Overview

Auto Parts Boxes

Heavy, greasy and shelved by part number — the panel matters more than the picture.

Aftermarket parts are found by number in a crowded warehouse rack. Board grade carries the weight; the print carries the identification.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Modular Size Systems
A planned set of sizes covering a whole catalogue with minimal tooling.
Consistent Range Layout
One print structure across every box in the system.
Oversized Part Numbering
Legible across a shelf of near-identical boxes.
Grease-Resistant Liners
For oiled and coated components.
VCI Corrosion Liners
For bare and machined metal held in storage.
Board Grade by Weight
Varies within the system while the layout stays constant.
Trade and Retail Versions
The same system in both formats where you sell both ways.
Application and Fitment Panels
Vehicle listings on the face the buyer checks.
Individually Designed Boxes
At thousands of part numbers it is impractical and expensive. A modular system with consistent layout is what scales.
One Board Grade Across a Catalogue
A sensor and a casting have nothing in common structurally. Grade should follow weight while the visual system stays constant.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Auto Parts Boxes is cut to a dieline built around your product — not pulled off a shelf. Send us the length, width and height of the item (or the item itself) and we return a measured dieline, free, before you commit to anything.

How to measure
01
Measure the product

Length, width and height of the item itself, at its widest points — not the box you happen to use today.

02
Add clearance

Allow 2–4 mm on each axis for a snug fit, and more if you are adding foam, a pillow insert or tissue.

03
Give us the order

We quote as Length × Width × Height. Tell us whether you are working in millimetres or inches and we match it.

What It Costs

Pricing & minimums.

Auto Parts Boxes is priced per specification rather than from a fixed list — the same box in two different finishes can land at very different numbers. Below is what actually moves the price, so you can shape the spec before you request a quote.

What moves the price
Quantity

The single biggest lever. Unit cost falls sharply as volume rises, because setup and tooling spread across more pieces.

Material and thickness

Board weight and stock choice change both the raw material cost and the shipping weight of the finished run.

Finishing

Foil, spot UV, embossing and soft-touch each add a pass on press. One or two lift the box; five compound the cost.

Print coverage

Full-bleed print inside and out costs more than a one-sided design on natural stock.

Inserts and hardware

Foam, moulded pulp, velvet pillows, magnets and ribbon are priced per piece on top of the box itself.

Timeline

Standard production is the base rate. Rush moves you up the production queue and carries a surcharge.

— Frequently Asked Questions —

Questions, answered.

Everything you need to know about Auto Parts Boxes.

With a modular size system rather than individually designed boxes.

The approach that works is to define a limited set of box sizes — typically eight to twelve — that between them accommodate the whole catalogue, then apply one consistent print layout across all of them.

The benefits compound:

  • Less tooling. A dozen dielines instead of hundreds.
  • Simpler ordering and better volume pricing, because you are buying more of fewer things.
  • Predictable warehouse storage, since box sizes are known quantities.
  • Brand recognition — a customer identifies your packaging regardless of which part they bought.

Within the system, vary the board grade by weight — a sensor and a casting have nothing in common structurally — and vary the liner by part type: grease-resistant for oiled components, VCI for bare metal held in storage.

What stays constant is the print layout, and the part number should be the dominant element in it.
