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: 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.

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.
