WHAT ARE DIGITALLY PRINTED BOXES?
Digital packaging printing uses digital artwork files to print graphics directly onto packaging material without requiring conventional printing plates.
Your artwork is prepared digitally and sent to the printing equipment, allowing logos, graphics, colours, text and other branding elements to be applied directly to the cardboard before the packaging is finished.
This process is particularly useful when businesses need custom printed packaging in smaller or more flexible quantities.
Boxes 24 can combine digital printing with our local cardboard manufacturing capabilities to produce packaging designed around both your product and your brand.
Depending on your project, digitally printed packaging can include:
- Company logos
- Full-colour artwork
- Brand colours
- Product information
- Instructions
- Promotional messaging
- QR codes
- Social media details
- Handling information
- Inside and outside printing
- Campaign-specific artwork
The result is packaging that does more than transport your product. It becomes part of your brand.
PRINT QUALITY & BRANDING
TURN A CARDBOARD BOX INTO A BRAND EXPERIENCE
Your packaging is often one of the first physical interactions a customer has with your business. Make it count. Digitally printed packaging gives you significantly more creative freedom than a plain shipping carton. Instead of simply adding a label or sticker after production, your branding can become part of the packaging itself.
USE FULL-COLOUR ARTWORK
Create immediately recognisable packaging by applying your logo directly to the box. Incorporate illustrations, photography-style graphics, patterns and other visual elements into your packaging design.
PRINT INSIDE THE BOX
For suitable packaging styles, internal printing can turn opening the package into part of the customer experience. Use the available print area for instructions, product information, thank-you messages or other customer communication.
CREATE CAMPAIGN PACKAGING
Change artwork for launches, promotions, events and seasonal campaigns without permanently changing your core packaging design. Add QR codes, website information and social channels to connect customers with your digital brand after delivery.
PRINT THE QUANTITY YOU NEED
You shouldn’t need to order thousands of boxes simply to access professional branded packaging. Digital printing is particularly effective for short run printed boxes because it avoids many of the setup requirements that make conventional printing less practical at smaller quantities. Digital printing allows your packaging supply to respond more closely to what your business actually needs.
New Product Launches
Create branded packaging for an initial production run, trial new designs or packaging concepts before moving into wholesale quantities.
Startups & Growing Businesses
Introduce professional packaging as your brand grows without investing in excessive inventory.
eCommerce Brands
Turn shipping boxes and mailers into a branded customer experience.
Seasonal Promotions
Create packaging specifically for Christmas, events, campaigns and seasonal product ranges. Produce distinctive packaging for collaborations, special releases and limited products.
Multiple Product Variations
Create packaging for different products or ranges without treating every variation as a major conventional print run.

WHICH PRINTING METHOD IS RIGHT FOR YOUR PACKAGING?
DIGITAL VS OFFSET PRINTING
Digital and offset printing can both produce high-quality custom packaging. The right method depends on what you’re producing, how much you need and what you want the packaging to achieve.
DIGITAL PRINTING
Digital printing is generally best suited to businesses prioritising flexibility and shorter production runs. It can be particularly useful when you need:
- Shorter print runs
- Faster setup
- No conventional printing plates
- Full-colour graphics
- Changing artwork
- Product variations
- Seasonal packaging
- Prototype or test runs
- Regular smaller production quantities
OFFSET PRINTING
Offset printing can become more suitable when projects move into larger production volumes or require particular print finishes, materials or retail packaging specifications. It can be particularly valuable for:
- Medium to larger production runs
- Folding cartons
- High-volume retail packaging
- Detailed print requirements
- Specialist print finishing
- Established packaging lines
NOT SURE WHICH TO CHOOSE?
You don’t need to decide before speaking with us. Tell our team what you’re packaging, your required quantity, artwork and desired finish. We can recommend the manufacturing and printing method that makes the most sense for the project rather than forcing every job through the same production process.

DIGITALLY PRINTED BOXES FAQs

Product FAQs
Digitally printed boxes are cardboard boxes where artwork is printed directly onto the packaging material from a digital file. Unlike conventional printing methods, digital printing does not require traditional printing plates, making it particularly suitable for shorter production runs, changing artwork and custom branded packaging.
Digital packaging printing is a process that transfers digital artwork directly onto packaging material. Logos, colours, graphics, text, QR codes and other branding elements can be printed onto the cardboard before it is cut, creased and converted into the finished box.
Digital printing can be used across a range of cardboard packaging, depending on the size, material and design requirements. This can include eCommerce mailers, shipping cartons, die cut boxes, tuck-in tab boxes, product boxes, subscription boxes, promotional packaging, printed inserts and other custom corrugated packaging.
Yes. Digital printing is particularly well suited to short run packaging because it does not require conventional printing plates. This can make professional branded packaging more practical for smaller production quantities, product launches, seasonal campaigns, limited editions and growing businesses.
Minimum quantities can vary depending on the box style, dimensions, material and printing requirements. Boxes 24 specialises in flexible and short run packaging, so you do not necessarily need to commit to the large quantities commonly associated with traditional printed packaging.

Digital printing offers greater artwork flexibility than many conventional printing methods. This can make it suitable for businesses with different product variations, seasonal designs, promotional campaigns or limited-edition packaging. Speak with our team about the artwork variations and quantities you require.

Digital printing is generally better suited to shorter production runs, faster setup, changing artwork and projects where flexibility is important. Offset printing can become more suitable for medium to larger production volumes, folding cartons, specialist finishes and established packaging lines. The best option depends on your quantity, material, artwork and finished packaging requirements.
It depends on your quantity and packaging requirements. Labels and stickers can be practical for very small quantities, while directly printed packaging integrates the branding into the box itself. This can provide more print area, consistent artwork placement, a cleaner finished appearance and less manual labelling.
