Custom Christmas Shipping Boxes

Updated 2026-10-06

Custom Christmas shipping boxes are corrugated cardboard cartons printed with holiday artwork and sized to the orders you send in December. Online brands use them so a seasonal parcel looks festive on the doorstep and protects the products inside, without the extra step of wrapping each order.

Make December parcels look like presents

Holiday orders arrive on porches next to a dozen other brown boxes. A printed Christmas shipping box stands out in that pile, and when the order is a gift it saves the buyer from rewrapping it. Brands selling candles, apparel, home goods and food gifts often switch to a seasonal outer box for November and December, then return to their everyday carton in January. The change is simple, but it makes the order feel planned for the season.

These are regular slotted cartons and fold-style boxes made from corrugated board, so they are built for parcel networks rather than shelf display. We size them around your most common order so there is less void fill and less movement in transit. You can print the outside with a full holiday scene, keep the outside simple and put the festive design on the inside, or print one color on kraft for a quieter look.

Our design team can help you build a Christmas version of your brand artwork that still works with shipping labels and carrier barcodes. You receive a digital proof before production, and a specialist replies with pricing for the sizes and quantities you need, with delivery to your fulfillment address anywhere in the USA and Canada. Many brands keep one design for the whole festive period.

Options for custom christmas shipping boxes

Regular slotted carton

The classic flap-top carton, printed with your holiday artwork, suits heavier orders and is easy for fulfillment teams to tape and label quickly.

Roll-end tuck front

A self-locking fold-style box with a tuck lid opens like a gift, which suits lighter orders where the unboxing matters as much as the delivery.

Inside printing

Keep the outside plain or lightly branded for the trip, then print a Christmas pattern or message inside for a surprise when the lid opens.

Kraft or white liner

Brown kraft gives a natural, wrapped-in-paper look, while a white outer liner makes red, green and metallic-style inks look brighter.

Single or double wall

Single-wall board handles most apparel and gift orders, while double-wall board adds strength for glass, candles, bottles and heavier holiday bundles.

Tear strips and inserts

Add a tear strip for easy opening or a corrugated insert that holds products in place, which helps fragile ornaments and jars travel safely.

FAQ

Custom Christmas Shipping Boxes: questions answered

Still unsure? Ask a packaging specialist.

What is the difference between Christmas mailer boxes and shipping boxes?

Mailer boxes are fold-style boxes with a tuck lid, chosen for a gift-like unboxing. Shipping boxes here usually means regular slotted cartons with flaps, chosen for heavier or bulkier orders. Both are corrugated and both can carry Christmas artwork, so the choice comes down to your product weight and the experience you want.

Can you print Christmas designs on the inside of the box?

Yes. Inside printing is popular for holiday orders because the outside can stay simple for the carrier while the customer sees a festive pattern or a thank-you message when they open it. We can print one side or both.

Are printed Christmas shipping boxes strong enough for the mail?

They are made from corrugated board in the same grades used for everyday shipping cartons. We help you choose single or double wall based on the weight and fragility of your products, and an insert can be added for items that need extra support.

Do Christmas cardboard boxes with lids work for shipping?

A lidded corrugated box can ship well when the lid is secured with tape or a tuck. Fold-style mailers with a locking lid are often the simplest option because they close firmly without extra parts and still open like a gift.

Can I use the boxes after Christmas?

Many brands print a winter or holiday design rather than a dated message so the boxes work through New Year and into January. If you prefer, we can also print a general seasonal design that fits the whole festive period.
