Swimwear Boxes.

A shallow two-piece box or a printed mailer-style box, both around paperback size, covers most swim ranges. A folded suit weighs a few ounces and lies almost flat, so there's no need for depth. The shallow profile keeps shipping dimensions down and makes a neat stack on a resort counter.

The mailer version closes with a locking front tuck and can go straight into the carrier network or into a poly mailer for weather cover.

Size the box snugly to the folded bundle and wrap the suit in tissue so it holds its fold. Swim fabric is slippery, and in an oversized box it slides into one corner and arrives as a lump. A tissue wrap sealed with a sticker keeps the bundle square, and a thin card insert can lift it to the right height.

We cut the box from your folded measurements, taken with the tissue on.

Our common sizes are 9 × 6 × 2 in for a one-piece or a bikini set and 11 × 8 × 2.5 in for bundles, cover-ups or two suits. Sizes are measured inside, length by width by depth. Send us the folded dimensions of your largest style and we'll check whether one box can cover the whole range.

A single size across a collection keeps packing simple in peak season and means one reorder instead of several.

Full-colour photographic print is the usual choice, because resort colour and pattern are what the box is selling. CMYK handles bright gradients and beach imagery well. A matte laminate with a warm palette gives a quieter premium look, while gloss makes brights look wetter.

A bright flood colour printed inside pays off on winter orders, when the parcel lands in cold weather and the inside is the first thing seen. Foil and spot UV can pick out the logo.

Yes, kraft and recycled-content board both print well enough for a swim line, and the box stays recyclable afterwards. Brands that make suits from recycled fibre often want the pack to match, and a printed panel on the box can tell that fabric story. Kraft gives a natural brown base, so brights print more muted on it.

If the palette depends on clean whites and neons, white SBS paperboard prints truer and still goes in paper recycling.

A mailer-style build can ship on its own, but a two-piece presentation box should go inside a poly mailer or a small corrugated shipper. Two-piece lids can lift in a parcel sorter, and the printed surface scuffs on conveyors. A poly mailer adds almost no weight to a light parcel and keeps rain off the board.

Many swim brands pair the printed box with a branded poly outer so the parcel still looks like theirs on the doorstep.

The minimum run is 500 printed boxes, and you can order up to 100,000. Swim ranges change artwork every season, so plan quantities around one season's sales per design. Keeping the box structure the same and changing only the print makes each new run quicker to set up.

Five hundred of a shallow 9 × 6 × 2 in box takes a small corner of a stockroom when the boxes arrive flat.

Production is 7 to 10 business days from artwork approval, and a rush lane can finish in 5 to 7. Sampling adds 5 to 7 business days before that, and the sample charge is taken off the bulk invoice. Resort and summer drops tend to land in the same weeks for everyone, so we'd book the sample well before the season starts.

Design and dieline help costs nothing, and delivery covers the whole USA.
