Description
Overview

Marker Boxes

A row of pens that must not roll — the tray is the whole design.

Markers roll, and rolling means chipped caps and a set that no longer looks new. A channelled tray keeps every barrel in its own lane.

What We Make

The full kit of capabilities.

Colour Range Windows
Shows real pigment, which printed charts cannot reproduce.
Nib-Down or Horizontal Trays
Keeps the nib charged so the set writes immediately.
Convertible Desk Holders
Lid folds back or tray props into a standing holder.
Colour Count Display
The headline comparison figure made prominent.
Tip Type Marking
Fine, brush, chisel or dual stated on the front.
Set and Single Formats
From individual markers to large artist sets.
Reinforced Hang Tabs
For peg retail.
Premium Presentation Sets
Rigid construction for professional ranges.
Nib-Up Storage Trays
Ink drains from the nib over time and the marker arrives dry despite a full barrel — a poor first impression on a working product.
Printed Colour Charts Alone
Printed ink cannot match marker pigment, and colour-led buyers know it. A window earns its cost on this product.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Custom Marker 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

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 Custom Marker Boxes.

Yes, more than most people expect.

Markers rely on ink flowing from the barrel to the nib. Stored nib-up for an extended period — which is what happens if a tray holds them that way in a warehouse for months — ink drains back into the barrel and the tip can dry out. The marker still has plenty of ink; it just will not write until it is primed.

That is a poor first impression on a product whose whole job is to work immediately.

Holding markers horizontally or nib-down keeps the nib charged. Horizontal is the usual choice because it also displays the barrels well, and it works for both alcohol and water-based inks.

It costs nothing to get right at the tray design stage and it is genuinely difficult to fix afterwards, so it is worth raising before tooling.
