Custom Sports and Outdoor Packaging

What sports and outdoor packaging covers

Sports and outdoor products range from small accessories, such as grips, lures and water bottles, to heavy items such as weights and camping stoves. Packaging needs to match: light cartons and hanger boxes for small items, and strong corrugated boxes for heavy or awkward ones. Long items such as rods, bats or poles suit tubes.

Styles that suit gear

• Corrugated mailer and shipping boxes for heavy or bulky gear.
• Double wall boxes for weights and equipment that need extra strength.
• Hanger boxes for small accessories on retail pegs.
• Window boxes to show balls, gloves or tools.
• Cylinder tube boxes for long or rolled products.
• Handle boxes for kits that customers carry home.

Materials and finishes

Corrugated board is the backbone of outdoor packaging. Single wall E-flute or B-flute suits most products, while double wall adds strength for heavy loads. Kraft gives a rugged, natural look that suits outdoor brands. SBS paperboard works for smaller retail cartons with bold color. Gloss or matte lamination helps print resist scuffs in busy stores.

Design tips

Use bold, high-contrast graphics and action imagery that read from a distance. Put the product name, size and key features on the front, and specifications on the side. Tell us the product weight so we can suggest a board that carries it. Inserts keep multi-piece kits, such as camping sets or training bundles, organized. Plan a clear area for a shipping label if the retail box also travels by courier.

How ordering works

Send the product dimensions and weight, the style and the quantity. We reply with pricing and suggest board and finishes. Our designers can place your artwork on the dieline, and you approve a digital proof before print. Our production partner makes your packaging and ships it anywhere in the USA and Canada. Teams, clubs and event organizers can order branded merchandise boxes the same way.
