What Box Up Packaging does

Box Up Packaging is a private custom packaging manufacturer and e-commerce supplier headquartered in Centreville, Virginia. The company designs, prints, and ships custom printed boxes across seven primary vertical categories — Retail Boxes, Rigid Boxes, CBD Boxes, Cosmetic Boxes, Eco-Friendly, Food Boxes, and Specialty (holographic, pillow, hexagon, hang tab, window, etc.) — alongside related products such as Custom Mylar Bags, Labels & Stickers, and business essentials. Production uses offset printing machines, screen printing for samples, and finishing techniques including CMYK, PMS, digital printing, foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and UV coating, supported by an in-house 3D Design Studio for visualization and mock-ups. The company also offers Contract Packaging Services with warehousing, logistics support, and a proprietary Inventory Management System (IMS).

The business runs a sales-led, direct-to-consumer model through boxuppackaging.com, with a quote-based pricing engine, free design support, free samples, free shipping in primary geographies, and no minimum order quantity (orders can be placed in batches as small as five units). Go-to-market combines a 24/7 inside-sales team with a content/SEO-driven e-commerce storefront carrying 83+ listed products, most priced under $50. Marketing emphasizes no die or plate charges, 8-12 day turnaround, and price matching as purchase-decision differentiators.

The customer base is highly distributed across small and mid-sized brands in retail, cosmetics, CBD, food & beverage, luxury, and pharmaceuticals; 3,000+ total clients have been served with 1,247 served in 2023 alone. The team numbers 130+ and the company ships more than 500 tons (500,000 kg) of custom packaging annually to customers in the USA, UK, Canada, and Australia. No external venture, private equity, or institutional ownership has been disclosed; growth appears to be self-funded. Founded in 2013 in Virginia.
