Printigly has been printing custom packaging in Bangalore since 1984 — from product boxes to paper bags, with minimum 100 units and same-day dispatch before 4 PM for standard orders.
Why Packaging Design Is Your Biggest Marketing Asset
For a D2C brand in India, the packaging is your physical brand presence. It’s the first thing a customer sees when the order arrives. It’s what gets photographed for Instagram. It’s what creates the unboxing memory that drives repeat purchases and word-of-mouth.
Research consistently shows 52% of online customers say they’re more likely to reorder from a brand that delivers in premium packaging. For a D2C brand at ₹500–₹5,000 order value, investing ₹30–₹100 in branded packaging is a straightforward ROI decision.
Types of Custom Packaging Available at Printigly
Custom Product Boxes
Rigid boxes, tuck-end boxes, sleeve boxes, and mailer boxes — all available with full-colour printing, inside printing, and finishing options.
- Tuck-end box (most common): Assembled flat, tucks closed at top and bottom. Works for cosmetics, food, candles, accessories.
- Rigid/gift box: Thick board, separate lid. Premium feel — jewellery, electronics, gifting.
- Mailer box: Self-locking, no tape required. E-commerce standard.
- Sleeve box: Slide-out inner tray with outer sleeve. Sophisticated, used for premium products.
Box printing includes: 4-colour CMYK exterior, optional 1–2 colour interior, matte/gloss/soft-touch lamination.
Custom Paper Bags
Kraft paper bags (brown, eco) and white/coated paper bags with rope or flat handles. Available in S, M, L, and XL sizes. Minimum 100 pieces. Popular for retail, gifting, and D2C clothing brands.
Printing: up to 4 colours on front panel, 2 colours on reverse. Matte lamination option available for premium feel.
Custom Labels for Packaging
Product labels are often the most cost-effective way to start branded packaging. Apply a custom label to a plain box or bag and immediately make it branded.
At Printigly, we print:
- Paper labels (indoor/dry use)
- BOPP/vinyl labels (waterproof, for oils, skincare, food in cold storage)
- Transparent labels (no-label look on glass or clear packaging)
- Die-cut labels (any shape)

Hang Tags
Hang tags add a premium, boutique feel to clothing, accessories, and artisanal products. Available in 300–400 GSM with eyelet and string. Full-colour printing, matte or gloss finish. Minimum 100 pieces from ₹15+ per tag.
Packaging Design Rules for D2C Brands
Rule 1: Design for the Unboxing Moment
Think about what the customer sees when they open the box. The inside of the lid, the tissue paper, the product placement, the thank-you card. Each element is a touchpoint. Even a simple printed “Thank you for your order” card inside adds perceived value significantly above its cost.
Rule 2: Communicate Your Brand Instantly
Within 3 seconds of seeing the package, a customer should know your brand category, quality level, and tone. Use consistent colour, logo placement, and typography across all packaging touchpoints.
Rule 3: Include All Required Information
For D2C food, cosmetics, and supplements in India: product name, ingredients/contents, net weight, manufacturing date and best-before date, manufacturer address, MRP (including taxes), customer care contact, and country of origin. Missing regulatory information can cause customs holds and legal issues.
Rule 4: Material Should Match Product Weight and Fragility
For lightweight items: 300 GSM E-flute corrugated or 400 GSM SBS board. For heavier items (glass, ceramics): double-wall corrugated. For fragile items: add foam inserts or kraft paper fill. Packaging that arrives crushed destroys the unboxing experience and generates returns.
Rule 5: Start with Labels, Scale to Custom Boxes
If you’re early-stage, don’t invest in custom boxes at launch. Start with plain kraft boxes + custom label + printed tissue + thank-you card. This gives a branded experience at ₹25–₹50 per order instead of ₹100–₹200 for full custom boxes. Scale to full custom when you’re past 500 orders/month.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order for custom packaging in Bangalore?
Minimum order is 100 units for labels, hang tags, and paper bags. Custom product boxes have a higher minimum — typically 200–500 units depending on the box type and complexity. This is because box dies (cutting templates) have a fixed cost that needs to be amortised over a larger quantity.
How do I provide the design for custom boxes?
Printigly provides a die-line template (the flat pattern of the box showing fold lines and cut edges) for your specific box dimensions. Design within this template in Adobe Illustrator or Photoshop. Send the print-ready PDF with 3mm bleed, CMYK colour mode, and 300 DPI images. We review before print and send a digital proof.
Can Printigly design my packaging if I don’t have a designer?
We offer basic design assistance — particularly for labels and simple hang tags. For complex box packaging with inside printing and premium finishes, we recommend working with a packaging designer and sending us the final print file. WhatsApp 917204910047 to discuss your project and we’ll point you in the right direction.
