Low-MOQ custom packaging for clothing brands

Which custom packaging can a clothing brand order from 100 units?

Five Packuva products start at 100 units per design, so a new brand can brand its whole unboxing without ordering thousands. The one exception is woven labels with a sew-on backing, which start at 500; the same labels with a heat-press (iron-on) backing start at 100.

How much does custom packaging cost per unit at low quantities?

A 25 × 35 cm (10" × 14") custom poly mailer costs $0.649 each at 100 units and $0.409 each at 500. The price per unit falls as the order grows, and a smaller size costs less. The poly mailer cost guide has the full price table for every common size from 100 to 1,000.

• Order what you will use in the next few months. At 100 units the price per piece is higher, but you are not paying to store boxes of packaging while you test your brand.
• Pick the smallest bag your products fit in. The poly mailer size finder shows the size for each garment.
• Keep the logo to one colour on one side. Extra colours and a second printed side raise the price.

What packaging does a new clothing brand actually need first?

Most new clothing brands that sell online need only one custom item to start: a branded poly mailer to ship each order in. Add the others when your products and sales channels call for them.

• Shipping online orders: a custom poly mailer. It is the first thing the customer sees.
• Protecting folded garments inside the mailer: a frosted zipper bag with your logo.
• Your brand on the garment itself: a woven label. Choose the heat-press backing to start at 100; sew-on labels start at 500.
• Selling in shops, pop-ups or markets: hang tags for price and brand, and mailing bags with handle for customers to carry their purchase.

How long does a 100-unit order take from artwork to delivery?

A 100-unit Packuva order takes 10–21 days from proof approval with standard shipping. The steps are the same at any quantity:

1. Proof: you upload your logo and get a digital proof within 12 hours.
2. Production: 2–6 days after proof approval.
3. Shipping: free standard shipping (8–15 days), or express shipping (4–6 days in transit), quoted per order on request. For the whole order, allow 6–12 days from proof approval with express shipping.

Are there setup fees on a small custom packaging order?

No. There are no separate plate or setup fees: the price shown is the total for the printed items. You also get a digital proof within 12 hours before anything is made, and a full refund if you cancel before approving the digital proof.

Is a stock mailer with a logo sticker a better start?

A plain stock mailer with your own sticker suits brands shipping fewer than 100 orders in total, or still changing their logo. Once you ship regularly, a printed mailer removes the step of sticking a label on every bag by hand and puts the brand on the whole bag, not a small label. Price 100 printed mailers in the configurator and compare them with what you pay for plain mailers and stickers today.

When is Packuva not the right supplier for a small brand?

• You need boxes. Packuva makes bags, tags and labels, not mailer boxes or shoe boxes.
• You need fewer than 100 pieces of a design. Start with stock packaging and a sticker until you reach 100.
• You need fewer than 500 sew-on labels. Choose the heat-press backing, which starts at 100, or a supplier with a lower sew-on minimum.
