What's the difference between a standard box and a style box?
A style box uses a distinctive structural format, like hexagonal, pillow, or drawer-style shapes, instead of the standard rectangular tuck-end or auto-lock carton, aimed at genuine shelf differentiation.
Do unconventional shapes cost more to produce?
Generally yes, since a new structural format requires custom die development; we quote that tooling investment transparently so brands can weigh it against a standard format.
What's a pillow box best suited for?
Pillow boxes work well for small gifts, jewelry, and favors, offering a soft, gift-forward shape at a relatively low material and tooling cost compared to other distinctive formats.
Is there a minimum order quantity for style boxes?
No, custom style boxes are available at zero minimum order quantity, though tooling lead time for a new structural format typically runs longer than a standard box.
How do I know if a distinctive shape is right for my product?
Our design team can help evaluate whether an unconventional format genuinely suits your product and brand positioning, since the investment only pays off when the shape and brand are a strong match.
