Apparel Boxes in Frankfort, KY
Frankfort is Kentucky's state capital and one of America's most picturesque small capitals — a city set in a dramatic limestone gorge carved by the Kentucky River, home to the historic State Capitol, Buffalo Trace Distillery (one of the oldest continuously operating distilleries in America), and a government and professional economy that creates consistent packaging demand. The bourbon heritage, state government, and Kentucky State University all contribute to Frankfort's unique commercial character. My Custom Boxes serves Frankfort's government-centered and bourbon-proud business community.

Why Choose Our Apparel Boxes
Custom Apparel Boxes | Fashion Packaging for Clothing, Shoes & Accessories
Apparel packaging has undergone a transformation in the e-commerce era — from the disposable poly mailer that dominated early online fashion retail to the premium branded tissue-paper-lined box that has become the standard for fashion brands that understand packaging as part of the product experience. Our apparel packaging solutions serve the full spectrum of fashion brands, from direct-to-consumer clothing startups shipping their first 100 orders to established fashion houses requiring retail-grade packaging for wholesale accounts.
Apparel Packaging Formats
- Folded Garment Boxes: Large shallow two-piece boxes for folded shirts, sweaters, and knitwear — the classic department store gift box
- Hanging Garment Boxes: Tall boxes with internal hanger suspension for dresses, blazers, and structured garments
- Shoe Boxes: Rigid two-piece boxes for footwear with tissue-wrapped interior presentation
- Apparel Mailer Boxes: E-flute corrugated mailer boxes for DTC apparel shipping — replacing poly mailers with branded unboxing experiences
- Accessory Boxes: Small rigid or folding carton boxes for belts, scarves, hats, and fashion accessories
- Apparel Gift Sets: Multi-compartment boxes for curated fashion gift collections
Tissue Paper and Presentation
Custom-printed tissue paper is arguably the highest-impact-per-dollar packaging investment for apparel brands — the moment a customer opens an apparel box to find their garment beautifully wrapped in branded tissue creates a luxury department store experience that dramatically elevates perceived brand quality. We produce custom-printed tissue paper in any color with brand patterns, logos, and typography printed in one or two colors, available in sheets and continuous roll formats.
Why Apparel Brands Are Abandoning Poly Mailers
Poly mailers were the default for DTC apparel shipping for years — cheap, lightweight, and waterproof. But poly mailers deliver a commodity unboxing experience: the customer tears open a plastic bag to find their garment. This transactional moment creates no emotional connection, no social sharing impulse, and no brand recall beyond the product itself. Custom apparel mailer boxes — branded exterior, tissue paper interior, handwritten thank-you card — create an opening experience that customers photograph, share, and remember. For apparel brands competing on identity rather than price, this distinction translates directly to repeat purchase rates.
Shoe Box Packaging for Footwear Brands
Shoe boxes serve both retail and DTC channels with different requirements. Retail shoe boxes must fit standard footwear store shelving, display the brand and style information on the end panel for stacked storage identification, and withstand multi-month retail handling without structural failure. DTC shoe boxes must survive parcel shipping within an outer corrugated shipper while delivering a premium unboxing experience to the end customer. We engineer shoe boxes to serve both channels — the same box used in retail is designed with structural strength to ship DTC with standard protective wrapping.

Apparel Boxes in Frankfort — FAQs
What size apparel boxes are available?
We manufacture apparel boxes in standard retail sizes including small (10×7×2 inches for accessories), medium (14×10×4 inches for shirts and small garments), large (18×12×5 inches for sweaters and folded dresses), and extra-large (24×16×6 inches for bulky knitwear and outerwear). Custom dimensions are available for non-standard garments.
Can I get custom-printed tissue paper?
Yes. Custom-printed tissue paper in brand colors with logos, patterns, or typography is one of our most popular apparel packaging add-ons. Tissue is printed in one or two colors on standard tissue weight (10gsm) or heavy tissue (17gsm) in sheet or continuous roll format. Minimum order for printed tissue is 500 sheets.
What is the difference between a folded garment box and a hanging garment box?
Folded garment boxes are shallow two-piece boxes (typically 3–5 inches deep) for garments that are folded flat — shirts, knitwear, trousers, and most casualwear. Hanging garment boxes are tall boxes (typically 24–36 inches) with an internal hanger bar that suspends structured garments — dresses, blazers, suits — in their hanging form to prevent creasing.
Can apparel mailer boxes replace poly mailers for e-commerce shipping?
Yes. E-flute corrugated apparel mailer boxes provide equivalent shipping protection to poly mailers for most clothing categories while delivering a dramatically superior unboxing experience. They are not waterproof like poly mailers, but are suitable for standard parcel carrier conditions. For wet-weather protection, we recommend inner poly bag lining within the apparel mailer box.
