MenuWhere can I get custom boxes at a reasonable price?
I've been searching to get custom boxes with my logo and I I've gotten quotes of 1000$ + for 10 boxes (as I need them for a Kickstarter campaign) and intend to buy industrial quantities later. Does anyone know where to contact for small quantity custom boxes?
Answers
Depending on the specs of your boxes, there are many different great options out there for custom printed boxes, at reasonable prices.
From my experience working with online retailers, here's some of the best that I've come across:
https://packlane.com/
https://pakible.com/
https://www.boxup.com/
https://packhelp.com/
https://www.companybox.com/
http://brandincolor.com/
Some specialty suppliers:
https://www.ecoenclose.com/ - eco-friendly
http://www.instabox.com/ - Canada

https://www.packqueen.com.au/ - Australia
Hope that helps and gives you some options to consider!
Custom packaging is an important part in building a great brand, so it's smart to be looking into this.
If you need any advice around creating an eCommerce brand and driving online retail sales, schedule a call with me and we can dig into it!
Depends where you are from. Check your nearest industrial areas where you can propose to them that you are seeing that you will be buying an X amount of boxes per year and see if they are willing to do a sample just for you to check.
Bana Boxes does good work.
They can print multi-color or black anything on boxes.
I tend to print on all 4 sides of box, in black, so only one plate is required + printing all 4 sides only increases box cost by 1 penny, usually.
As I recall, last time we did a plate change the cost was $400 USD/plate... so Black will by $400 + color will by $1600 ($400 for each of 4 plates required to print color).
After plate cost, a 12inch box will run around $0.60 when purchased by the palette, which will be between 1000-1200 boxes, depending on box size.
So Bana would be roughly $600 USD/1000 boxes.
A bit less than $1000/10 boxes.
817-919-3589 is their phone number.
You can PM me to visit about boxes. We ship product all over the world + have had to become box experts.
You'd think boxes are simple. What you ship + how boxes will be stored... well... there a many factors.
If this is your first rodeo (with boxes), feel free to be in touch.
Hi, you can get the most reasonable price from China. the total fee you should pay will include the fee for a diecut (if it will be a new layout) and material cost.
if your manufacturing base is also in China, you can directly send the boxes to your factory, otherwise you can ship them to any country out of China.
in both cases, the total cost shouldn't be that high.
Are you looking to have the box itself to be designed/customized or are you looking for the design ON the box to me customized? If you’re looking for the box itself to be designed I can most certainly help you out with that for a reasonable price. As far as manufacturing them, once we have the final design, we can find a manufacturing company for reasonable prices. If this sounds like something you might be interested in please let me know!
One can find many companies when looking for custom packaging boxes.
But picking the right service provider is complicated.
Things to consider:
>> Print & Paper Quality
>> Mini Order
>> On Time Delivery
>> Hidden/Delivery Charges
>> Service Support
>> Production Status etc
Most of the customers didn't find the difference between the actual printing company and a print broker. It's always good to have proper research on TrustPilot reviews, Website, and Google reviews.
These are the actual printing websites I had used before, and I am satisfied with the print quality & service both in US & Canada.

What is the best way to distribute a new cosmetic product to distributors and hair salons?
I am the founder of a cosmetic company that bootstrapped from nothing to a 7 figure business. It sounds like you are really at the beginning stages of business and there are a lot of opportunities for you. You've got a lot of work ahead of you and you need to build some infrastructure. Your brand is going to be one of the most important things to establish and you won't be able to sell to distributors, salons, or consumers without a clear message of what your company is about. When it comes to distribution of your product, you can either work with a distributor, sell directly to resellers, or sell directly to consumers. They all have their advantages and disadvantages. You'll have the most margin with direct to consumers - but you need skills on ecommerce. When you sell through a distributor you lose tons of control, but you can expand your reach quicker. You also have the slimmest margins; but you don't need to invest as much into sales. Selling direct to salons is a time consuming process; but you have more control of how your product is displayed, and the perception the consumer has of your products. So much of cosmetics is where your product is currently sold. If it's sold in mass market retail, no salon will want to carry it. But the direct answer of your question is you simply need to sell your product to anyone who's willing to buy it. Pick up the phone, hustle, and win over those customers.Eric BandholzEB

For an Internet software startup in 2013, what is more important for success: distribution or product? (all other things being equal)
Engagement matters most. Engagement is actually a function of great product and great distribution. Engagement is thought-of mostly as a product issue but in many cases, it also expresses itself as a distribution problem particularly where there is no possibility for a "single player" experience (marketplaces, feedback loops, anything attempting to be inherently social) If you have sustained engagement (a product experience loved by users) you will be successful, limited only by the potential number of people in the world that need the experience you provide and growing at a rate closely correlated to your distribution channels. Inefficient distribution is easier to optimize for then insufficient product. So to this extent, product matters more. But available distribution channels (or more accurately, the unavailable distribution tactics) also can define a company's fundraising options, and more definitively, the overall cultural and corporate DNA of the organization that forms around product & distribution. This is the best, most generalized answer I can provide to your question. Happy to talk to you and provide you a more contextually relevant answer to your own circumstances.Tom WilliamsTW

What are the pros and cons of building an app versus a responsive website as an MVP?
This is a great question and an important one as well. I would start by identifying: Who is your target market? How will they use your product? On the go? On their laptop or on their mobile device? What kind of technology does your product need? Can it be built as a simple website or does in need to be an app (i.e. you need push notifications, integration with other mobile apps, etc). On the other hand, how much time and budget do you have? Typically a responsive website is faster and cheaper to build than an app and will get you out the door faster.Andrés MaxAM

Evaluating Co-Founders, How did you do it?
You have to be careful on selecting your co-founder. I know it's an already cliché to mention it, but selecting one is like selecting a spouse to marry. You need to know the person first, and even some investors and accelerators dismiss automatically startups because the founders didn't meet before working together in the startup. If you're doing a tech startup, the co-founder should have a technical background if you don't have it. That will save you a lot of money when you're bootstrapping as well as making sure you deploy a great product as soon as possible. Once you want to work with someone, my best advice is to hire them to do a project or a task inside the startup. More than words, you need to see them in action and that way you can evaluate your chemistry as a team. When you already worked the details and decided to create a startup together, you need to be smart about the plans. You need to sign a partnership agreement and put the equity in a vesting option. In Silicon Valley, the standard vesting period is 4 years with a one year cliff. After one year, the founders fully own of the 25% of their shares. That means if they leave the company before the first year, they will not have equity in the company. Having all that in mind, I think it will help you select the best co-founder possible and also be a better bet to investors if you ever decide to raise money. I hope it helps!Rui DelgadoRD

How do you get a product prototype developed in China sitting in the US?
It varies and it's very very specific to what you want to develop. The concrete design of your circuit matters. Also prototype building costs are usually a factor 10-100 higher than series. If you already have your prototype then you can shop around various manufacturing companies. To do that, you need Gerber files (your PCB design) and a bill of materials. You also need to think about casing: designing it and creating the mold is expensive. If you don't have your prototype yet, I recommend having it engineered in eastern Europe. Custom engineering is cheap there and high quality. IP protection is a problem. One thing to do is to distribute the work to different manufacturers. For the design phase you are safer if you design your prototype in Europe or the US where international patent laws apply. I could give you more specific advise in a phone call, getting to know a bit better what you are trying to build.Gerald FriedlandGF
