Key Features
Custom Apparel Boxes | Fashion Packaging for Garments, Accessories, and Gift Programs
Apparel boxes serve the fashion industry's packaging requirements across the full range of garment and accessory categories -- from the lightweight folding carton sleeve for a pair of socks to the premium rigid two-piece box for a cashmere sweater gifted to a valued client. The apparel category's packaging requirements reflect its product diversity: weight ranges from a few ounces to several kilograms, price points from 15 dollars to 1500 dollars and above.
Standard Apparel Gift Box
The standard apparel gift box -- a shallow two-piece lid-and-base chipboard box in white or kraft -- is the department store retail standard for folded shirt, knitwear, and accessory gifting. The box's dimensions are coordinated with standard garment folding dimensions to minimize void space, and the interior is lined with tissue paper in brand colors for the wrapped-garment presentation experience.
Luxury Fashion Packaging
Premium fashion brands whose garments command 200 dollars and above price points require packaging that communicates the same quality investment as their products. Rigid two-piece boxes with specialty paper wrap, foil-stamped logo, and tissue paper in signature brand colors create the premium gifting experience that luxury fashion consumers expect.
Apparel Box Dimensions and Garment Folding Standards
Apparel box efficiency begins with the relationship between box interior dimensions and standard garment folding dimensions. A folded men's dress shirt measures approximately 12 by 8.5 inches in standard retail fold -- an apparel box sized to 14 by 10 inches interior provides 1-inch clearance on each dimension for tissue wrapping. Oversized boxes create wasteful void space, require more fill material, add dimensional weight in e-commerce shipping, and communicate poor packaging planning to discerning fashion buyers and consumers.
Tissue Paper as Garment Brand Communication
Custom-printed tissue paper inside an apparel box is one of fashion's most effective per-dollar brand investments. A few sheets of tissue printed with the brand's pattern, logo, or signature visual communicate brand identity in the moment the box is opened, wrapping the garment in a brand identity experience rather than simply protecting it in generic material. Fashion brands that invest in custom tissue paper consistently report higher repeat purchase rates from gifted apparel.
Apparel Packaging for E-Commerce DTC Fashion Brands
DTC fashion brands shipping directly to consumers face the challenge of creating a retail-quality unboxing experience through parcel delivery rather than boutique gifting. The mailer box solution -- a corrugated box with interior printed in brand colors, tissue-wrapped garment, branded card, and custom packing tape -- creates a premium delivery moment that differentiates DTC fashion brands from the generic poly mailer experience of commodity apparel e-commerce.

Apparel Boxes in Maine — FAQs
What standard apparel box sizes are available?
Standard apparel box sizes by garment category: accessories at 10 by 7 by 2 inches for scarves and small accessories, shirts at 14 by 10 by 2.5 inches for folded dress and casual shirts, knitwear at 16 by 12 by 4 inches for folded sweaters, large garments at 18 by 14 by 5 inches for folded jackets, and extra-large at 22 by 16 by 6 inches for bulky outerwear. Custom sizes for non-standard garments are available.
What is the standard interior finishing for apparel boxes?
Standard apparel box interior finishing: tissue paper in brand colors, tissue paper folded and wrapped around the garment by the fulfillment team, and optional ribbon tie securing the tissue-wrapped garment for presentation. Premium configurations add a printed card with brand messaging, satin ribbon with logo charm, and custom shredded paper fill in brand colors.
Can apparel boxes double as shipping mailers?
Standard chipboard apparel gift boxes are not designed for direct parcel shipping -- they require an outer corrugated shipping box. Corrugated apparel mailer boxes manufactured from E-flute corrugated with interior printing function as both the presentation box and the shipping mailer, eliminating the need for an outer shipping box.
Can I get custom tissue paper that matches my brand colors?
Yes. Custom-printed tissue paper in exact Pantone brand colors, with or without printed logo or brand pattern, is available as a coordinated accessory for all apparel box orders. Tissue paper is printed using water-based inks on lightweight tissue stock in 1 to 2 color printing.
What is the minimum order for custom apparel boxes?
Our minimum order is 100 units for custom apparel boxes in all configurations -- standard chipboard, premium rigid, and corrugated mailer. Custom tissue paper minimum coordinates with the apparel box order at 100 units per design.
