Do you need custom cardboard boxes for your product or business? At TeleCajas, we manufacture custom boxes with the exact dimensions you need. We work with specialized manufacturers to offer you custom boxes in single, double, or triple wall, with or without printing, adapted to any sector: e-commerce, food, industry, cosmetics, or logistics.
What are Custom Cardboard Boxes?
Custom-made cardboard boxes are manufactured according to the customer's exact specifications: length, width, height, fluting type, cardboard quality, closure type, and finish. Unlike standard boxes, they fit the product perfectly, reducing waste, improving protection, and optimizing shipping costs.
Types of Custom Boxes
- Custom die-cut boxes: assembled without staples or tape. Ideal for e-commerce, cosmetics, and gifts. Clean, professional finish.
- Flap boxes (FEFCO 0201): the classic industrial format. Available in any size and channel. The most economical option for large volumes.
- Printed boxes: add your logo, brand, or instructions directly onto the cardboard. Flexography for large print runs or digital printing for smaller orders.
- Boxes with special die-cut: for products with irregular shapes, bottles, food or point-of-sale displays.
Advantages of Custom-Made Boxes
- Perfect fit to the product: less padding, less empty space, more protection.
- Savings in transport: tighter boxes = lower volumetric weight = lower shipping cost.
- Brand image: a personalized box with your logo conveys professionalism and reinforces your branding.
- Sustainability: less filler material and less leftover cardboard = less environmental impact.
- Versatility: any size, any channel, any finish.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom boxes?
It depends on the type of box. For die-cut boxes, the minimum order is usually 200-500 units. For standard flap boxes in custom sizes, the minimum order starts at 100 units. Please contact us to discuss your specific requirements.
How long does it take to manufacture them?
The usual lead time is 2 to 4 weeks from order confirmation. For urgent orders or sizes similar to standard, we can shorten the lead time. We will confirm this with your quote.
Can I add my logo or imprint?
Yes, we offer flexographic printing (for large print runs, starting at 500-1,000 units) and digital printing (for smaller runs). You can print logos, text, barcodes, or complete designs.
Do you send samples before confirming the order?
Yes, for large orders we can produce a sample for your approval. The cost of the sample is usually deducted from the final order. Please ask us about this when requesting a quote.
What do I need to request a quote?
The basics: the interior dimensions (length x width x height), the approximate quantity, and a brief description of the product that will go inside. If you want printing, send us your logo in vector format (AI, PDF, or EPS). With that information, we'll prepare a quote for you within 24-48 hours.

If you're looking for standard cardboard boxes with 24-48 hour delivery, we have them ready in our Seville warehouse. But if your product requires specific dimensions, keep reading.
What are custom-made cardboard boxes?
These boxes are manufactured to the exact dimensions you specify—length, width, and height down to the millimeter. Packing a 120x80 cm painting is not the same as packing an industrial piece measuring 45x22x18 cm. With the correct measurements, you reduce excess material, save on packing material, and your shipments arrive in better condition.
The difference with a standard box is clear: instead of adapting the product to the box, you adapt the box to the product. Less internal movement, less breakage, fewer complaints.
Furthermore, custom boxes can feature your logo, corporate colors, or handling instructions printed directly onto the cardboard. Custom packaging isn't just about aesthetics—it's brand identity in every shipment.
Types of custom boxes we manufacture
Die-cut boxes
Manufactured with a die (cutting mold) specifically designed for your product. They are the most precise and offer the best presentation. Ideal for custom packaging for e-commerce, cosmetics, food, or corporate gifts. The die allows for flaps, windows, self-assembly closures, and shapes that a standard box cannot offer.
Usual minimum order: 200-300 units (depending on size). The cost of the die is recouped from the first order.
Custom flap boxes
The classic four-flap format (FEFCO 0201), but with the dimensions you need. It's the most economical option for custom packaging because it doesn't require die-cutting—simply cut and fold. Perfect for logistics shipments, industrial storage, and palletizing.
If you need standard flap boxes with immediate delivery, check out our flap box catalog .
Boxes with printed logo
Any box—die-cut or flap-type—can be printed. From a one-color logo to full-color four-color printing. Logoed boxes transform every shipment into a point of contact with your customer. An anonymous brown box is forgotten; one with your brand is remembered.
Printing options: flexography (1-3 inks, economical for large print runs), offset (high quality, four-color printing) or digital printing (short runs from 50 units).
Custom kraft boxes
Natural, unbleached kraft cardboard with a finish that conveys sustainability and a personal touch. Custom kraft boxes are a growing trend in e-commerce, especially among organic food, natural cosmetics, and sustainable fashion brands. They can be printed with water-based inks to maintain the eco-conscious message.

Advantages of using custom-made boxes for your business
Reduce shipping costs. A box that's the right size for the product weighs less and takes up less space. For courier shipments, that translates directly into savings. One of our clients in the ceramics industry reduced their shipping costs by 18% simply by adjusting the box dimensions.
Fewer breakages and returns. When the product is snugly fitted, it doesn't move inside the box. Less movement = fewer bumps = fewer complaints. This is especially important for fragile products like electronics, glassware, or food.
Professional image. A well-presented package inspires confidence. And if it also features your logo, each delivery reinforces your brand. 40% of online consumers say that packaging influences their perception of a brand (source: Dotcom Distribution).
Warehouse optimization. Identical boxes stack better. If you handle few product formats, having standardized, custom-sized boxes improves warehouse organization and speeds up picking.
What is the manufacturing process like?
Ordering custom boxes from TeleCajas is easier than it seems. The entire process, from your initial inquiry to receiving the boxes in your warehouse, typically takes between 10 and 15 business days.

Step 2 — We'll send you a quote within 24 hours. No obligation. The price includes manufacturing and shipping to your address in Spain or Portugal. Quotes are valid for 30 days.
Step 3 — Approval and manufacturing. Once you confirm, we start production. If printing is required, we'll send you a digital color proof for your approval before printing.
Step 4 — Delivery to your door. We ship via courier to any location in Spain and Portugal. Large orders are shipped in palletized boxes.

Frequently asked questions about custom cardboard boxes
What is the minimum order for custom boxes?
It depends on the type. For custom flap boxes, the minimum order is usually 50-100 units. For die-cut boxes, it's between 200 and 300 units because the die needs to be manufactured. For digital printing, we can do print runs starting from 50 boxes with a logo.
How long does it take to manufacture them?
The standard lead time is 10-15 business days from order confirmation. If printing is required, please allow an additional 2-3 days for color proofing. For rush orders, please contact us directly.
Can I order custom boxes with a logo for a small number of units?
Yes. With digital printing, we can print your logo starting from 50 units. For print runs larger than 500, flexography is more economical per unit.
What information do you need to prepare the budget?
The interior dimensions of the box (length × width × height in cm), the type of cardboard (or the weight of the product inside, which we recommend), the quantity, and whether you want printing. With that information, we can give you a price within 24 hours.
Do you ship to Portugal?
Yes. We manufacture and ship throughout Spain and Portugal. For Portugal, you can also visit our online store at telecaixa.com .
What is the difference between custom packaging and bespoke packaging?
Custom packaging means manufacturing the box with the exact dimensions you need. Personalized packaging goes a step further: it includes logo printing, corporate colors, or graphic design on the box. At TeleCajas, we offer both services, together or separately.
Are die-cut boxes more expensive than flap boxes?
Yes, because they require manufacturing a die (cutting mold). But the extra cost is quickly recouped: from 300-500 units onwards, the difference per box is minimal. And the result—in terms of presentation and functionality—usually more than makes up for it.
