Custom Cover Packaging Options — From Polybag to Gift Box
Packaging is the first thing your customer touches — and the last thing many importers think about. For covers, packaging also protects the product in transit and affects freight cost. Here are the custom cover packaging options and how to choose.
Why Custom Packaging Matters
- Branding: a logo and consistent design build recognition
- Protection: covers arrive clean, dry, and undamaged
- Retail readiness: shelf-ready packs sell faster
- Freight: packaging determines carton dimensions and shipping cost

The Detail Options
Polybags
- Thickness: 0.04-0.08mm standard; thicker for heavy covers
- Print: 1-2 color logos are economical; full-color is available
- Add a desiccant sachet for humid routes or long storage
- Material: paper card, kraft, or recycled card
- Content: brand, size, material, care instructions, barcode
- Insert cards can double as size charts — reduce returns
Boxes
- Color box: printed on all sides, good for retail shelves
- Gift box: rigid construction, premium feel for high-end brands
- Ensure the box adds minimal void so covers do not shift in transit
Carton (Export) Specs
- Standard export carton: 5-layer corrugated for heavy covers
- Size should suit pallet loading (optimize for 40HQ container)
- Include shipping marks: brand, carton number, country of origin
Cost and MOQ Considerations
- Packaging costs roughly 2-8% of product cost depending on option
- Printed bags and boxes carry MOQs (usually 1,000-3,000 pcs)
- Ask for a packaging sample or digital proof before mass production
- Simple one-color printing keeps MOQs low for new brands
Freight Impact
Tight vacuum or flat packing reduces carton volume and can cut freight by 20-40% for lightweight covers. Balance freight savings against the premium feel of boxed packaging — many brands ship polybag to distributors and boxed to retail.
