Service
Handled in-house by the same team that produces your garments, so artwork, fabric and finishing stay consistent from sample to bulk.
Your packaging is the first physical touchpoint a customer has with your brand, and often the moment they decide to share it online. MAKEWELL APPAREL designs and produces custom apparel packaging that protects your products in transit and turns every delivery into a branded experience.
Because we also manufacture your garments, packaging is coordinated with production: your tees, hoodies, and activewear are folded, tagged, and packed in your branded materials before they leave us, ready to sell or ship straight to customers. Combine it with private label tags for a fully finished product.
In a crowded market, packaging can be what makes a customer remember you, reorder, and recommend you. Thoughtful branded packaging delivers:
Choose individual options or combine them into a complete packaging program built around your brand:
Private label packaging puts your brand on every layer of the order: printed poly mailers, garment bags, boxes, tissue, stickers, and hang tags in your colors and logo. It gives even a first collection the polished presentation of an established label and keeps your brand visible from the doorstep to the closet.
Choose from rigid boxes for premium pieces, folding cartons for retail, corrugated mailer boxes for e-commerce, and printed poly or paper mailers for lightweight shipments. Each can be printed with your logo and brand colors inside and out, sized to fit your garments snugly and reduce shipping costs.
Many packaging suppliers require thousands of units before they will print your logo. We offer low MOQ packaging aligned with your apparel order, so a startup producing 50 to 300 pieces can still ship in fully branded materials without storing years of extra boxes.
Customers increasingly judge brands by their waste. Our sustainable packaging options include:
These choices cut waste and show customers that your brand cares about more than the sale.
Small details create memorable unboxings: branded tissue paper, logo stickers, thank-you cards, care guides, discount codes for the next order, and custom hang tags. Each insert is another chance to tell your story and encourage repeat purchases and social sharing.
We start by understanding your brand, products, sales channels, and budget, then recommend packaging formats, materials, and finishes that fit how you sell, whether through your online store, retail partners, or events.
You review digital mockups or physical samples showing size, print, color, and finish before anything is produced, so the final packaging matches your expectations.
Once approved, we produce your packaging and check print quality, color consistency, dimensions, and strength before it is used for your garments.
Your finished apparel is packed in your branded materials and shipped to your warehouse, fulfillment center, or retail partner, ready for sale. Request a quote to begin.
With apparel and packaging produced by one team, you save time, avoid supplier mismatches, and get a consistent brand experience on every order.
READY WHEN YOU ARE
Tell us about your product and quantity. Our team will recommend the best approach and send an itemized quote within 24 hours.
We offer printed poly mailers, paper mailers, corrugated mailer boxes, rigid gift boxes, folding retail cartons, garment and zip bags, branded tissue paper, stickers, hang tags, thank-you cards, and other inserts. Everything can be customized with your logo, colors, and messaging, and coordinated with your apparel production so products arrive packed and ready to sell.
Our packaging minimums are aligned with your apparel order, so brands producing small runs can still use fully branded packaging. Exact minimums depend on the packaging type and print method; printed mailers and stickers can be produced in smaller quantities than rigid boxes. We confirm minimums and pricing in your quote.
Yes. Options include recycled cardboard and paper mailers, compostable and biodegradable poly mailers, soy and water-based inks, and right-sized packaging that reduces material and shipping waste. Sustainable packaging is a simple way to show customers your brand takes responsibility seriously.
Yes. Because we manufacture your apparel, we can fold, tag, bag, and box each piece in your branded materials before shipping. This saves you time and fulfillment costs, and means your products are ready for retail shelves or direct-to-customer shipping as soon as they arrive.
Cost depends on packaging type, size, material, print colors, finishes, and quantity. Printed poly mailers and stickers are the most affordable ways to brand an order, while rigid boxes and special finishes cost more. Share your products and quantities, and we will send an itemized quote within 24 hours.
Yes. We provide digital mockups for every design and physical samples for many packaging types, so you can check size, print, color, and finish before production. Approving a sample first protects you from costly surprises on the full run.
Packaging is scheduled alongside your apparel order so it is ready when your garments are finished. Simple printed mailers and stickers are quick to produce, while custom boxes with special finishes take longer. We confirm timing in your quote and plan production around your launch date.
Yes. We produce custom hang tags, woven and printed neck labels, care labels, and size labels as part of our private label service. Tags and labels work together with your packaging to create a consistent, professional brand experience.
Most e-commerce brands use printed poly mailers or recycled paper mailers for t-shirts and lightweight items, and corrugated mailer boxes for heavier pieces, gift sets, and premium products. Adding tissue, a sticker seal, and a thank-you card creates a memorable unboxing without adding much weight or cost.
Yes. Printed inserts such as thank-you cards, care guides, size guides, and discount cards are a powerful way to encourage repeat purchases and reviews. We can design and print them with your branding and pack one into every order.
Custom apparel packaging is one of the most cost-effective ways to look established from your first order. A branded mailer and simple insert cost little per unit, yet they raise perceived value, make your products more giftable, and encourage customers to post unboxing photos. For brands selling online, packaging is often the only physical brand experience a customer has, so it deserves the same care as the product inside.
Yes. We use the same logo files and brand colors across your embroidery, prints, neck labels, hang tags, and packaging, so every element looks consistent. Coordinating everything with one team avoids the color and sizing mismatches that often happen when packaging comes from a separate supplier.
Yes. For wholesale and retail, we can individually bag and size-label each garment, pack cartons by size and style, and add barcodes or SKU labels on request. This makes receiving and shelving easier for your retail partners and helps your brand meet their packing requirements.
Our packaging service is designed to complement apparel we produce, which lets us coordinate design, timing, and packing in one workflow. If you are already producing cut and sew or custom apparel with us, packaging can be added to any order. Contact us to discuss packaging-only needs for existing products.
Share the products being packed, quantities, preferred packaging type, sizes if known, your logo and brand colors, and any sustainability requirements. Our team will recommend suitable formats, explain cost options, and send an itemized quote. You can also explore our full range of apparel manufacturing services to bundle packaging with production.
Focus on a few high-impact touches: a printed mailer or sticker seal in your brand colors, a sheet of branded tissue, and a short thank-you card with a care tip or a discount for the next order. These cost very little per unit but create a polished unboxing. Save rigid boxes and premium finishes for gift sets, limited editions, or higher-priced pieces where presentation matters most.
