Subscription and gift packaging your customers look forward to

Every delivery is a chance to remind customers why they subscribed. A custom subscription box protects products in the mail, makes the first look inside feel special and turns a monthly order into something people share. For gifting, the box is part of the present.

In The Bag has designed custom packaging for more than 30 years. Our Toronto team helps self-care, wellness and lifestyle brands choose the right box style, size and finish for subscriptions, holiday sets and corporate gifts, then manages production for you. We make custom printed boxes for small launches and growing programs alike.

Want every delivery to feel like a gift? Add branded tissue paper, labels, ribbon and stickers so your boxes and shipments all match.

Custom Subscription Box and Gift Box Styles

Choose a box for each part of your program, from monthly mailers to holiday gift sets.

Printed corrugated mailer box for a monthly subscription

Printed mailer boxes

Corrugated mailer boxes with tuck-in flaps that ship on their own, with no outer carton needed. Print inside and out to create a branded reveal, and choose white or kraft board to match your look. The go-to style for monthly subscription boxes.

Best for: monthly subscriptions and e-commerce

Rigid gift box with lift-off lid for a self-care gift set

Rigid gift boxes

Two-piece and magnetic rigid boxes made from thick chipboard wrapped in printed or specialty paper. They feel premium and often get reused, which keeps your brand in the home long after the gift is opened.

Best for: holiday sets, premium gifts and corporate gifting

Self-care wellness kit box with bath salts, candle and skincare

Self-care and wellness kits

Boxes built around a curated set of products, such as bath salts, candles, skincare and tea. A custom insert gives each item its place, and a printed lid or sleeve tells the story of the kit.

Best for: curated kits and seasonal collections

Custom paperboard insert holding bottles in a subscription box

Custom inserts and dividers

Die-cut paperboard and corrugated inserts keep bottles, jars and fragile items from moving in the mail. A planned layout also makes the box look full and organized when it opens.

Best for: fragile items and multi-product boxes

Branded corporate gift box with foil stamped logo

Corporate gift boxes

Branded boxes for client gifts, employee welcome kits and event giveaways. Add your logo with foil stamping or embossing and include a printed card for a polished, professional gift.

Best for: client gifts, onboarding kits and events

Custom tissue paper, belly band and stickers in a gift box

Tissue, sleeves and finishing touches

Custom tissue paper, belly bands, ribbon and stickers add a finished look to any box. They are an easy way to change the theme each month or season without changing the box itself.

Best for: seasonal themes and repeat orders

Subscription boxes sized to what goes inside

The right size lowers shipping costs and stops products from moving. Send us your product list and we will build the box and insert around it.

1. Share what goes inside

List the products in a typical box with their sizes, including bottles, jars and printed cards.

2. Choose an insert or tissue

Use a fitted insert for fragile items, or branded tissue for boxes whose contents change each month.

3. Approve your dieline and proof

We create a dieline, a flat template of your box, for your artwork. You approve a proof before anything goes to print.

    Custom Subscription Box and Gift Box FAQs

    What is the best box for a subscription service?

    Most subscription brands use printed corrugated mailer boxes. They ship without an outer carton, protect products in the mail and print inside and out. Rigid boxes suit premium or quarterly boxes.

    How do I choose the right subscription box size?

    Lay out the products in a typical shipment and measure the length, width and height they need, including any insert. A snug box costs less to ship and keeps products from moving.

    Can my box design change each season?

    Yes. Many brands keep one box and change the tissue, stickers or sleeves each season. We can also print limited-edition boxes for holidays.

    Do you make custom inserts for subscription boxes?

    Yes. We make paperboard and corrugated inserts sized to your products, so bottles and jars stay in place in the mail.

    What is the minimum order for custom subscription boxes?

    It depends on the box style and finish. Tell us your quantity in the quote form and we will suggest options that fit, including smaller runs.

    Can you help design my subscription or gift box?

    Yes. Our packaging consultants help with box structure, sizing and dielines. You approve a proof before anything is printed.

    Are your subscription and gift boxes sustainable?

    We offer FSC®-certified paperboard, kraft and recyclable paper options, and In The Bag is a carbon-neutral packaging company.

    Can you make corporate gift boxes with our logo?

    Yes. We can add your logo with printing, foil stamping or embossing, and include printed cards for client and employee gifts.
