You have come to the right place to learn everything you need to know about fashion & footwear packaging, including why it is so important, how to choose the right type of packaging, and even how to design fashion & footwear packaging you know your customers will love.
In the fashion and footwear industry, quality sustainable corrugated packaging has a huge role to play in helping brands stand out. We specialise in designer shoebox packaging, fashion packaging boxes, and a wide range of other corrugated cardboard packaging solutions such as clothing packaging boxes.
We offer high-quality custom print, and innovative structural corrugated packaging design to add that wow factor to your products.
Fashion & Footwear packaging is simply packaging that protects fashion and footwear products such as; shoe boxes, clothing boxes, accessory boxes, and much more. Although fashion and footwear packaging’s prime purpose is to provide protection during transportation, packaging within this industry has become an essential and powerful piece of brand collateral. Therefore, we have helped a wide range of successful fashion and footwear brands develop high-quality and unmissable custom packaging for their products.
We all know that when it comes to fashion how things look and being creative matters hugely within this industry. Hence, why it is important that marketers, business owners, and designers invest in packaging that not only looks good but packaging they can trust in the quality and in helping them to stand out within a crowded industry.
Here are just some of the reasons why good fashion & footwear packaging is important for business:
There are many different types of fashion & footwear packaging, however, we specialise in corrugated packaging. This means we provide fashion and footwear brands with high-quality sustainable packaging options. The different types of packaging we offer include:
We produce packaging designed for a retail environment that is perfect for fashion and footwear. This packaging is designed with the unboxing experience in mind and is designed to stand out in a crowded retail environment. It is also designed with retail buying behaviour in mind, for example, making it easy to handle, easily accessible, and protective.
The way we shop has evidently changed over the last two years, with more and more UK shoppers purchasing online and now ordering subscription boxes to be delivered to their homes. Fashion subscription services have become the new time-saving style hack that delivers curated outfits direct to your door, taking the hassle out of shopping.
Subscription box packaging is specifically designed with the customer experience in mind and creating a custom package that increases the excitement of the consumer. We also ensure that your product will be able to fit easily and safely through a UK letterbox.
We know from experience that customers make an impression on the quality of service based on a number of factors.
This includes the unboxing or unpacking experience. So making sure you know how to package your fashion and footwear products is hugely important to influence repeat orders.
This chapter will discuss how to choose the right type of packaging and discuss opportunities for sustainable and custom packaging.
The saying “ one box fits all” or it’s “ just a box” should never be used. It is important to choose the right type of packaging for your product and there are quite a few options. So, let’s take a look at a few together...
Shelf/retail ready packaging is packaging designed specifically for a retail environment and to be displayed on a shelf.
This means that a wide range of factors needs to be considered such as the presentation of the product, the shape, and size of the packaging and whether it stands out on the shelf. If your fashion & footwear products will be sold in a retail environment here are some advantages of choosing this type of packaging.
Advantages of shelf/retail ready packaging:
We provided New Balance UK with retail-ready packaging for their range of sports trainers. They needed a responsible and quality cardboard box manufacturer to supply lifestyle shoe boxes in two different sizes and swing tags for their trainers.
You can read the full case study here and find out more about how we helped New Balance UK.
Another type of packaging suitable for the fashion & footwear sector is postal & subscription box packaging.
The subscription industry is booming and consumers love receiving regular subscription boxes from a variety of brands. Packaging is really important within the subscription industry, the look and feel of the box matters just as much as the products inside it. Therefore, it is important to think about custom packaging, the design of your box, and how it showcases your brand.
Well-designed and high-quality subscription boxes often generate a large digital following and social media presence, this is through customers sharing images and videoing their unboxing experience to post online.
Here are some advantages of using subscription and postal packaging for your fashion and footwear products:
We produced subscription packaging for a family-run online retailer Purple Possum. They sell a wide range of women’s accessories including fashion scarves, bags and other similar items.

Breaking News - Eco-Friendly packaging is in fashion!
The fashion industry has been notorious for being a big contender in contributing to plastic pollution and excessive packaging. However, this can be changed, and as more consumers actively seek brands that offer sustainable packaging, more and more brands seem to be taking this direction seriously.
Sourcing sustainable packaging used to be difficult and expensive, we make sure that finding a sustainable packaging solution is straightforward and cost-effective for your brand. Sustainable packaging isn’t just a better option for the environment, it is also a great brand image investment.
As an FSC credited packaging manufacturer, we can assure you that the packaging we produce uses paper spruced from sustainable forests. Which consumes 30-50% less energy than making paper from trees while maintaining high quality. Also, eye-catching packaging is less likely to end up in landfills and more likely to be reused or kept by the consumer.
Here are some examples of eco-friendly packaging materials for fashion & footwear products:
Custom fashion & footwear packaging is packaging designed and tailored specifically for the needs of your business. Custom packaging takes into account the presentation of your product, how it will be shipped, and exactly how it needs to be protected.
Custom packaging like custom shoe boxes are made to reflect the quality of your products as well as your brand story.
We produced custom packaging for the Internationally known brand Sophia Webster. You can find out more about our work with Sophia Webster by reading our case study.
