Shipping Materials & Boxes
Custom Shipping Materials & Packaging Solutions
The box your product arrives in is the first thing your customer touches, and the wrong one costs you money in damage, returns, and oversized shipping fees. PSI has been sourcing and supplying shipping materials for brands since 1986. From everyday boxes and mailers to fully custom, branded packaging, we get you the right materials at the right price and pack your orders in them, so every shipment protects your product and represents your brand.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
We handle the packaging side of fulfillment end to end, from choosing the right materials to sourcing them at a good price and using them to pack your orders. Whether you want plain and practical or fully branded, we have you covered.
Custom Branded Packaging
Make your brand stand out with custom shipping boxes, printed mailers, branded tape, inserts, stickers, and retail-ready product packaging. The options are almost limitless, and a consistent, on-brand unboxing keeps customers coming back.
Everyday Shipping Materials
Not every order needs a custom box. We stock and supply the standard materials your fulfillment runs on, including corrugated shipping boxes, poly mailers, tape, void fill, and dunnage, so your orders are always packed and protected.
Packaging Design and Sourcing
We have decades of experience helping brands choose and design the right packaging, and a national network of manufacturers that gets you the best pricing and options. Our team is available for recommendations at any step.

Packaging Optimization That Cuts Shipping Costs
Carriers bill by dimensional weight, so every extra inch of empty space in a box costs you money on every order. Because we see your products and your shipping profile every day, we help right-size your packaging to fit what you actually ship. Better-fitting packaging means lower dimensional-weight charges, less product damage, and fewer costly returns. It is one of the simplest ways we help brands ship smarter.
Built Into Your Fulfillment
When PSI handles both your packaging and your fulfillment, your materials become just another item in our warehouse. Your branded boxes, mailers, and inserts are stocked and pulled automatically when we pack your orders, with no separate vendors to coordinate and no handoffs between a packaging supplier and your 3PL. One partner, one relationship, one team making sure every order goes out right.

Custom Packaging Services FAQs
What custom packaging and shipping materials do you offer?
Custom and standard shipping boxes, mailer boxes, poly mailers, branded and plain tape, custom inserts and printed packing slips, stickers and labels, tissue, void fill and dunnage, and retail-ready product packaging.
Do you sell packaging on its own, or is it part of fulfillment?
We provide and source the packaging and shipping materials for the orders we fulfill, from standard boxes and mailers to fully custom, branded packaging. It works best as part of a fulfillment relationship, so your materials are stocked at our warehouse and used automatically when we pack your orders.
Can you design custom branded boxes and inserts?
Yes. Our team helps you design and choose custom shipping boxes, printed mailers, branded tape, inserts, and retail-ready packaging, and we source it through our national manufacturer network for the best pricing.
How does custom packaging affect my shipping costs?
Carriers charge by dimensional weight, so packaging that is too large quietly inflates every shipment. We help right-size your packaging to fit what you ship, which lowers dimensionalweight charges and reduces product damage and returns.
Do you offer standard packaging too, or only custom?
Both. Many orders ship fine in standard boxes and mailers, which we stock and supply, and you can add custom, branded packaging wherever it makes the most impact.
How is packaging priced?
Pricing depends on the materials you choose and the quantities involved, with clear, transparent pricing and no nickel-and-diming. A free fulfillment cost analysis will show you exactly what your packaging would cost.
