Built from Australian post-consumer recycled board and corrugated 35–85% thicker than the average mailer box, every Hero box is fully recyclable, ships flat-packed, and is made by the Hero team locally, meaning faster turnaround, more flexibility, and a lower carbon footprint. Perfect for shipping your products to customers (and keeping them safe), PR boxes and Influencer gifting boxes. Must Read Before Ordering Custom Boxes Sizing tolerance: All boxes may have up to a 5mm sizing discrepancy. If exact dimensions are critical, email [email protected] as soon as you order. Read the artwork guidelines before you upload your design Logos must be vector (.ai, .eps, .svg, vector .pdf). Pixel-based logos will print blurry. Match board to design: dark colours and brown/black artwork should be printed on Kraft Brown; bright/light/full-colour designs should be printed on Kraft White or White/Brown Mix. Custom sizes have machine limits- if in doubt, contact us before ordering. Add 2–3 days for proof approval on top of the printing lead time. Peak periods add another 3–4 days. Our team prints what you send so double and triple check your artwork before approving the proof. We can't refund custom orders that have already been printed.
