Title: Why Custom Packaging Matters for Your Subscription Box Business
For subscription box businesses, packaging is the first impression subscribers receive—and it’s crucial. Courtney Hubbard, COO of BoxUp, recently joined Liam Brennan, a successful subscription box entrepreneur, to discuss the importance of custom packaging and how it can make your brand unforgettable.
- Stand Out with Custom Packaging: Custom boxes are essential for branding. Courtney shares that distinctive packaging makes subscription boxes more recognizable, memorable, and exciting for customers. A creative, well-designed box can spark joy upon delivery, increasing the chances of customers sharing their unboxing experience on social media.
- Cost-Effective Options for Every Stage of Business: Courtney emphasizes that even startups with limited budgets can find suitable solutions. BoxUp offers various packaging tiers—from basic branded tape to fully custom boxes. Small businesses can start with simpler designs and evolve as they grow.
- Flexible Order Quantities and Fast Turnaround: Subscription box companies often need agility with box orders, especially as they scale. BoxUp’s flexibility, from orders as low as 12 units to high-volume production, and lead times as short as four days, supports rapid scaling and evolving needs.

This allows subscription box owners to design custom packaging that aligns with their brand without requiring extensive graphic design expertise.
