Frequently asked

How many box sizes should I stock?

3-5 sizes cover most DTC orders. Fewer SKUs means simpler picking, lower case-pack costs, and less warehouse space.

What's the workhorse ecommerce box size?

8x6x4 and 10x8x4 — they handle most single-item and small multi-item orders. Add 12x9x6 for larger orders.

Is custom sizing worth it?

Rarely for SMB. Stock sizes cover 80%+ of orders. Custom boxes pay off above ~5,000 units/month on a single size.
