Overview

Seed Boxes

Living contents — moisture and light are what the packaging is fighting.

Seed viability drops in damp, warm conditions. Barrier liners and opaque board protect germination rates through a retail season that can run months.

Sizing & dieline.

Every Custom Seed 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 Seed Boxes.

It depends on the value of the seed and how long it sits — and it is worth deciding deliberately rather than defaulting either way.

Seeds are a living product. Germination rate declines over time naturally, and moisture and heat accelerate that decline substantially. Damp seed begins metabolic activity it cannot complete; warmth speeds the ageing process. A plain paper packet sitting in a warm, humid garden centre is losing germination percentage the whole time.

A barrier is worth it when:

  • The seed is high value per packet.
  • It has a long shelf life or slow turnover.
  • You sell into humid or warm retail environments.

A plain packet is perfectly reasonable when seed is inexpensive and turns over quickly within a season.

Tell us the variety values and your typical shelf time and we will give you a straight answer, including when a barrier would be money you do not need to spend.
