Our pick for: Single boxes

Packola

A sister storefront of UPrinting (same address, configurator and materials), so its prices track UPrinting's closely rather than being an independent quote. Sells single boxes, at about $37 each.

What reviewers say: Rated 4.0 from 857 Trustpilot reviews. Recent reviews praise print results and customer care; one mentions boxes damaged in transit.
