Totals include one-time fees. Shipping not included. Some suppliers only sell fixed amounts (like 240 instead of 250), so the winner is decided on price per box.

Our pick for: Tiny test runs

Fantastapack

Lets you order as few as 5 boxes, which is handy for testing a design. It's among the priciest at larger sizes and has only a handful of mostly negative reviews, so order a sample before anything bigger.

What reviewers say: Very few reviews and mostly negative: short-shipped quantities, print problems and slow support, with the odd reviewer praising flexible timelines.

Our pick for: Cheap at 500+, made in USA

Packwire

Prices depend on how much of the box your artwork covers; we compare the full-coverage band (75%+), and light designs cost about 7% less. Mid-pack at 100–250, then among the cheapest at 500–1,000.

What reviewers say: Only 8 Trustpilot reviews (4.3), too few to judge. US-made corrugated mailers with an instant quote and 3D designer.
