Custom Stationery and Book Packaging

What stationery and book packaging covers

Paper goods are flat and easy to dent, so their packaging focuses on protecting corners and presenting the product neatly. Common formats include boxes for greeting card sets, sleeves for notebooks and planners, pen and pencil boxes, slipcases for book sets and mailer boxes for online orders and subscription boxes.

Styles that suit paper goods

• Sleeve boxes and slipcases for notebooks, planners and book sets.
• Two-piece boxes for card sets, writing sets and journals.
• Book-style boxes that open like a cover for gift editions.
• Tuck end and window boxes for pens and art supplies.
• Mailer boxes for shipping books and stationery bundles.

Materials and finishes

SBS paperboard works for lighter sleeves and card boxes with sharp color print. Rigid chipboard gives slipcases and gift boxes a solid feel. Kraft suits handmade and eco-minded stationery. Corrugated E-flute mailers protect books in the post. Foil stamping, embossing and debossing suit the paper-loving customer, and textured wrap papers add a tactile finish.

Design tips

Size the box closely so items do not slide and bend at the corners. For book sets, measure every spine together, since thickness varies by edition. A box that echoes the cover design of a notebook or book makes the set feel complete. Leave space for a barcode if you sell through bookstores or retailers. A ribbon pull or thumb notch makes tight-fitting slipcases easier to open.
