Branding Just Graduated

Our Favorite Custom Packages from Universities

It might be hard to believe, but high school is in the past and Fall has brought a new wave of students onto university campuses everywhere. Another new semester means another year of change and growth, and excitement for new possibilities is just beginning to blossom. Now is the perfect time to share that school spirit! Whether you’re expressing gratitude, drumming enthusiasm or inspiring the next generation for higher education, BoxUp is here to graduate your university brand to the next level. Here are some of our favorite university boxes so far:

1. Arizona State University: For the Fans

ASU Kicked off football season by sending out swanky season ticket packages to their dedicated fans, alumni and special guests. Football fans are sure to look forward to each new season of games as well as sports swag when these boxes show up in the mail!

2. Ivy Tech: High-Flying Fun

When the Ivy Tech Foundation sent out these custom gabled boxes, special donors found fabulous invitations to the gala event with due fanfare. They not only set the fun tone for what to expect from the gala itself, but reached out with quality that represented the respect and gratitude those donors deserved.

3. Airforce Academy Athletics: Credentials and More

Season-ticket and suite holders received their credentials in style with this sleek and savvy box. Committed fans won’t doubt their specially valued status when such custom packages arrive with little treasures inside. Each order sets the tone for a new wave of university VIPs.

4. Ball State University: Box Party

Alumni cheered to Ball State’s “Chirp chirp!” when this party-in-a-box arrived! Network ambassadors were given the tools to set up a rally with relative ease with the arrival of this box, so past and future students could connect to that school spirit. It’s amazing how one box can bring together generations of university students.

5. USC Sumter: Promoting Possibilities

The University of South Carolina used a box packed with goodies to reach out to potential new students at an annual event. It’s possible the following 20% enrollment increase had nothing to do with the impact the boxes had, but we think not very probable.

6. Indiana State University: For the Kids

ISU’s Sycamore Sam, himself, got involved with this Kid’s Club box! This adorable box gets the next generation of students and sports fans rolling, setting the early stages of success by reaching out to the young crowd.

Bonus: ISU’s Blue Box for New Alumni

If reaching out to former students and encouraging current students were combined, the effort would be this wonderful little Blue Box! Given as a graduation gift, the little package celebrates the time the brand new alumni have spent making memories at Indiana State University, so as they continue to grow in life, they’ll never lose touch with those Sycamore roots. Check out the awesome goodies inside on their Facebook page here!

Aside from these examples, the opportunities that come with a branded box are endless. Use boxes to thank donors or give awards to high-performing faculty and staff. University clubs, sororities and fraternities can create custom packages that cultivate their communities. Welcome new students during orientation with a package that erases any doubt that they chose the wrong institution, and remind students who receive scholarships how precious their academic work truly is. Rally team spirit with boxes for ticket holders, players’ families or talented youth who need inspiration. Connect grant providers with their receivers, artist series’ contributors with the artists, hosts with guests and new with old


Whatever the next year may hold, a university-branded box has the potential to create meaningful connections and make an impact. Higher learning comes from so much more than books and classrooms; it comes from the people who reach out and the communities it creates. Send a package, and you may just plant a seed for a new story. After all, the right box at the right time can make an unforgettable experience.
