Stationery

Stationery boxes are custom-printed folding cartons built to hold notecards, pens, journals, and desk sets, made for stationers and gift brands that want their paper goods to arrive looking polished. Printed on SBS or kraft paperboard, every box is made to your artwork.

A clean tuck-end carton keeps cards and writing sets squared and protected on the shelf, so a boxed notecard set reads as a finished gift instead of loose product. Reverse-tuck closure makes packing fast at fulfillment, and printing the inside panel adds a thank-you note or pattern the buyer sees when they open it. Stationery subscription brands use these to ship a cohesive monthly set.

Stationery Sets Ordered as One Job

A set works when the pieces agree. Letterhead weight around one hundred grams runs through office printers, while a compliment slip and business card benefit from something heavier. Uncoated stock takes ink from a pen, which coated stock resists. Envelope size has to be confirmed against the folded sheet before anything is quoted.
