How Custom Printed Letterbox Boxes Add Value to Every Order

Turn every letterbox delivery into a brand experience with custom printed packaging.

3 min readUpdated April 2025

The value of custom printing

A plain brown letterbox box does its job, but a custom-printed one does much more. It builds brand recognition from the moment it lands on the doormat, creates anticipation before the box is opened, and reinforces quality perception when the product is revealed.

Brand recognition: customers identify your deliveries instantly among other post
Perceived value increase: branded packaging makes products feel more premium
Social sharing: attractive packaging encourages unboxing photos and videos
Repeat purchase driver: memorable packaging keeps your brand top of mind

Quick answer

Custom printed letterbox boxes cost 15-40p more per unit than plain but generate measurable returns through brand building. Start with single-colour logo printing for the lowest cost entry. Progress to full-colour designs as volume justifies the investment. Digital printing makes short runs (100-500) affordable for small businesses. The ROI comes through higher repeat purchase rates, social sharing, and premium perception.

Print options

One colour (usually your brand colour) on kraft board. Effective and affordable at 1,000+ units.

CMYK digital printing makes custom boxes viable from 100 units. Higher per-unit cost but no plate fees.

A branded interior message or colour is revealed on opening - high impact for minimal extra cost.

Digital printing has made custom letterbox boxes accessible to businesses ordering as few as 50-100 units.

ROI of branded packaging

Studies show branded packaging increases repeat purchase rates by up to 30% and social sharing by 40%. At 25p extra per box, a business shipping 1,000 boxes per month invests £250 but gains measurably higher customer lifetime value, organic social reach, and brand equity.
