I really love how you give out information so quickly and fast.

[@A_ndrea]

She’s the best - it almost feels like we’re getting secret information - she’s so straight to the point and engaging!

[@saberur66]

what a great example for an informative, interesting, and engaging brand technique.

[@grappler185]

Just wanted to say thanks. I never thought of custom gummed paper tape. Solves two problems and adds a nice polish to my white boxes.

[@LilColDog]

“You don’t wanna be stamping your face off...” lol 😂

[@vreyes4u1]

I'm in the process of creating a wine box to be shipped and I am SO happy I found this company and youtube channel !

[@b00tsyallday]

Congratulations Sis!

[@StandleyHandcrafted]

Here from Garyvee as well! Loved the episode and this show is right up my alley with my candle business. I’ve been searching custom boxes for months! 🤦🏼‍♂️

[@n1vg]

Good information, presented well! I wish I could find this in every field. It's so hard to find rough ballpark figures for anything custom.

[@A_ndrea]

First of all, I love you - way to make what could be a boring topic TOTALLY EXCITING - like I go out of my way to watch you. Do you have any tips on the best way to ship house plants??

[@shaynelahmed6323]

This is so informative .quick to grasp. Intelligently presented. I don't need any of these for my current proposed business... But I can incorporate ideas. ..and pricing.. for future reference! Thanks ma'am

[@Dandrew16]

Love your voice, you sound like Sophia Bush!!

[@liamhurley1349]

You deserve more subs!

[@nicholdas]

Thank you for the brevity! 😄

[@BoxerDogs]

This was great. All of these ideas will work if you are holding inventory at your place of work, but what if you have a fulfillment center (3PL) store your inventory for you. If that is the case, is there anyway you can have them do these things for you?

[@cybergogo1111]

thank you lumi, very helpful !

[@gotta-date-with-hate]

really good video..straight to the point...

[@YoungSinai]

Thank you so much. Praise God for this advice.

[@mohdshariqidrisiidrisi8807]

Just a great video.....loved what you had created....😎

[@SquirrelRun]

Can y'all do an unboxing of a candle distributor?

[@planmomma9345]

where do you get this magical custom stamp that looks that good? does that work on plastic?

[@planmomma9345]

Nevermind - www.lumi.com/products/rubber-stamp

[@ShippingThings]

Rubber stamps are best on porous materials like paper. Some people even use them on wood! They don't take too well to plastic. People often use them to stamp kraft mailers: www.lumi.com/products?search=mailers For stamping boxes, it takes a few practice tries. Always make sure that you're getting a good amount of ink on your stamp, stamping on a flat, hard surface, and giving it even pressure. On boxes, designs with super fine details don't show up quite as well because of the wavy texture of the corrugated, so that's something to consider as well. Happy stamping!

[@seriousCADninja]

WOW what kind of MOQs are those...! None in this industry seems to care to help small businesses to create high quality packaging with out having to order more than 1000 units!!!!

[@ShippingThings]

Great question! Typically MOQs relate to the costs of tooling. For example the printing plates and cutting die for a custom box typically costs $500-$1,000 minimum. In theory, you could just make one box using this tooling, but it takes time to set up the machine, there are often dozens of test boxes to dial in the machinery, and by that point it doesn't make sense to make just one. You might find these videos interesting to understand more about tooling and the machinery of packaging. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZe5kH9norSnkK8 kzbin.info/www/bejne/kH6nenSBdrR7rJo Nowadays some types of packaging can be made digitally which doesn't require tooling, so you can access lower MOQs in the range of 10-100 units, however these processes don't have the same level of print quality.

What r u talking about.????

[@anushmalik]

hi lumi can you suggest me something that really help others like your video doing, we are into packaging design (designerpeople) It will be great help

[@peinpein7604]

What do you call with that kind of box?

[@representing50plus]

I am amazed at some of the custom packaging that entrepreneurs use. I never even thought about it until I saw all the YT videos showing how they package. ▪️▪️ HOWEVER I think some are spending too much money on it because I don't really care about packaging. I just spent alot of money on Clothes from Nordstrom and they came in a Plain polymailer throw on my doorstep. Curious. How many of you really care about packaging?

[@josemarte6784]

really good video.

[@cowslane1]

love it

[@infinity9427]

Awesome !

[@TheCANhunter]

[@ladyalako]

Would you recommend any good companies for custom poly mailers? Thanks you for sharing :)

[@ShippingThings]

Of course! We make them at Lumi ;) www.lumi.com/products/poly-mailers. If you have a design in mind that you can't mock up in our editor, just submit a quote: www.lumi.com/quote.

[@alexpugh4259]

Good shit.

[@cakedme]

Umm I love you already! Good shit!

[@lamialakija2383]

Please tell me you guys ship to the UK?

[@ShippingThings]

Sorry for the delayed response, Lami! We do ship to the UK, but it's not always the most economical option. Feel free to look around the site and put some products in your cart. Then go to checkout and you can get a shipping estimate before you put in any payment info. If you'd like a more personalized quote, go to lumi.com/quote. Thank you for watching!
