Frequently asked

What size box for a monthly subscription?

Most dry-goods subscription kits fit 9x6x3, 10x8x4, or 12x9x4 mailer-box footprints.

Should I use printed or plain boxes?

Plain ECT-32 is fine to start; custom-print once you hit consistent monthly volume.

What fill gives the best unboxing?

Colored crinkle paper plus tissue-wrapped items scores best on unboxing experience.

How thick should the box be?

ECT-32 is the standard; only upgrade to ECT-44 if you're shipping heavy multi-item kits.
