Influencer Boxes.

An influencer box is built for the camera, so the interior and the order things appear in matter more than shipping efficiency. A creator films the whole opening, and every layer becomes a shot. Builds are often oversized so they read well on a phone screen, and printed interiors carry the design after the first reveal.

Rigid board wrapped in printed paper is the usual construction, with a telescoping lid and custom inserts.

We script the opening in layers, so each lift shows one thing at a time and the hero product comes last. A printed card on top, tissue, then a lift-out tray with a ribbon pull gives the creator several seconds of footage at each stage. Loose items piled together film badly.

Tell us what goes in and the order you want it seen, and we'll build the inserts around that sequence.

Yes, and most PR programmes do it, usually with the name foiled on the lid or printed on a card inside. Creators tend to say their name aloud when they see it, which puts your brand in the clip at the same moment. Short-run digital print handles a different name on every box.

Named notes and props can be kitted into each box if you send us the list.

Soft-touch matte with hot foil is the safest choice, because it doesn't throw glare back at a ring light. Gloss lamination looks sharp in the hand but can flare on video. Linen and embossed papers add texture that shows up in close-ups.

We print CMYK and Pantone, with spot UV for contrast on a matte ground. Full-bleed interior print takes a good share of the budget, since the inside is what fills the frame for most of the video.

Common sizes are 12 x 9 x 4 inches and 14 x 11 x 5 inches, which is usually larger than the products strictly need. Scale is part of the effect, and a box that fills the frame reads better on a phone. We size the interior tray to the products first, then set the outer dimensions for presence.

Keep in mind that the outer shipper adds its own size and weight to the postage.

A run of influencer boxes starts at 500 units. Seeding lists are often shorter than that, so brands tend to keep the lid design general and personalise with cards, which lets one run cover several send-outs. Bigger launches go well past the minimum on the same build.

We do the dieline and help with the artwork free, and boxes ship anywhere in the USA.

The standard window is 7 to 10 business days after proof approval, and rush brings it to 5 to 7. Launch dates don't move, so we'd book the slot as soon as the product list is settled. A sample takes 5 to 7 business days, and filming a test unboxing with it before approving the run is time well spent.

When the production order goes in, the sample fee is credited against it.

Every influencer box should travel inside a protective outer shipper, because a scuffed corner shows up on camera. Rigid wrapped board dents at the corners if it goes through a carrier network bare. A fitted corrugated outer with a little clearance keeps the presentation box clean.

The shipper can carry a simple one-colour print so the parcel still looks like it came from you.
