Purpose-Built Packaging
Not every shipment fits in a standard box. Specialty containers are designed for specific applications, from temperature-sensitive shipments and fragile-item protection to garment transport. Each type addresses a different packaging challenge, and availability depends on partner suppliers in your area.
Produce Boxes
Wax-coated and ventilated boxes designed for transporting fresh produce, in various sizes with hand holes for easy carrying. The wax coating provides moisture resistance for fruits and vegetables that release condensation during transport.

Insulated Shippers

Custom Specialty Solutions
When an off-the-shelf specialty box won't do, custom-size sourcing is available through partner suppliers. Tell us about your product and they can suggest options.
Custom Dimensions
Some partner suppliers can have boxes made to your length, width, and height. Whether your product is an unusual shape, requires a specific pallet footprint, or needs to fit carrier limits, include your measurements in your request.
Specialty Coatings
Wax coatings for moisture resistance and VCI (Vapor Corrosion Inhibitor) coatings for metal parts are two common options. Describe your application and a partner supplier can tell you what is available.
Custom Inserts & Dividers
Die-cut corrugated inserts, foam padding, molded pulp trays, and custom cell dividers can hold products securely. Some partner suppliers can provide a sample so you can test the fit before a larger order.
Use Case Examples
A few typical ways specialty boxes are put to work.
Farm-to-Table Produce Delivery
Growers often pack produce in wax-coated, ventilated boxes. Ventilation holes let air move around the produce, the wax coating handles condensation from cold storage, and the stackable design makes good use of van space.
Products: Produce Boxes
Household and Office Moves
Movers pair wardrobe boxes for hanging clothes with dish packs for glassware and file boxes for paperwork. Matching the box to the contents makes loading easier and helps protect fragile items on the road.
Products: Wardrobe Boxes, Dish Packs, File Storage Boxes
Framed Art and Mirrors
Galleries and frame shops use telescoping boxes that adjust around flat, fragile pieces. Corner protectors add another layer of security at the points most likely to take a knock during transit.
Products: Picture / Mirror Boxes
Direct-to-Consumer Bottle Shipping
Small producers ship bottles in cartons with protective cell dividers. The individual cells prevent glass-to-glass contact, and optional climate liners can help during summer shipping months.
Products: Wine / Bottle Shippers
