Product Details
A PR box is the package a brand sends to creators, journalists and partners before or during a product launch. It is not a normal shipment: the person opening it may film the moment, post photos and decide whether to talk about your product. Packwhole designs and prints custom PR boxes that make that first reveal feel planned, from the outside artwork to the insert that holds each item in place.
This page covers what goes into a good PR package, the box styles that work best, print and finishing choices, and how to order a short run for your next launch.
PR packaging is branded packaging made for promotional seeding rather than everyday sales. It usually contains the new product, a card or letter explaining it, and sometimes a few extras that tell the brand story. Because the audience is small but influential, PR packaging tends to use richer printing and more structure than standard shipping cartons.
For planning tips, read our guide on how to create PR packages.
The structure you choose sets the tone of the unboxing.
| Style | Feel | Good Fit For |
|---|---|---|
| Printed mailer box | Clean and modern, ships on its own | Beauty, apparel, snacks |
| Rigid two-piece box | Heavy and premium, lid lifts off | Fragrance, jewelry, tech |
| Magnetic closure box | Book-style lid that snaps shut | Luxury launches and gift sets |
| Drawer or slide box | Tray slides out of a sleeve | Small collections and samples |
| Box with custom insert | Items sit in die-cut cavities | Multi-product kits |
Most PR mailings use a custom mailer box because it doubles as the shipper. For a heavier, keepsake feel, a custom rigid box inside an outer carton is a popular choice.
A strong PR box is designed in layers, each revealing a little more.
Design for the camera. Matte surfaces reduce glare, and high-contrast inside printing reads well on phone screens.
An insert keeps the kit looking intentional after it travels through a delivery network. Paperboard inserts can be printed to match the box, while foam suits fragile glass items. We cut cavities to the measurements of your actual products so nothing rattles. Learn more about custom box inserts for shipping.
The right PR boxes depend on what you are launching.
Many PR campaigns need fewer boxes than a retail order. Low minimums let you produce a small seeding run, gather feedback and order again for the next wave. If the same design will later be sold to customers, plan one artwork that works for both PR boxes and retail packaging to save on design time.
– Structure: rigid and magnetic boxes cost more than folding mailers. – Print and finishes: inside printing, foil and spot UV add steps. – Inserts: custom die-cut trays add material and setup. – Quantity: unit price falls as the run grows.
