Custom Packaging for the
Fashion & Apparel Sector

Fashion packaging has undergone a transformation — the box is no longer an afterthought, it is the opening act. With the rise of fashion e-commerce and the decline of traditional retail, the shipping box or garment box has become the primary brand experience for customers who shop online. Fashion brands now invest as heavily in packaging as they do in hang tags, labels, and tissue paper.

Custom Packaging Built for Fashion & Apparel

Fashion packaging has undergone a transformation — the box is no longer an afterthought, it is the opening act. With the rise of fashion e-commerce and the decline of traditional retail, the shipping box or garment box has become the primary brand experience for customers who shop online. Fashion brands now invest as heavily in packaging as they do in hang tags, labels, and tissue paper.

Brisk Packaging serves fashion brands at every tier from emerging DTC streetwear labels to established department store apparel lines. Our garment and apparel boxes are engineered for flat-fold garments with precise interior dimensions that eliminate movement in transit. Shoe boxes use extra-strong board to handle the weight and protect footwear from compression.

Sustainability is a particularly acute concern in fashion packaging — the industry is under increasing scrutiny for its environmental impact. We offer recycled and FSC-certified board across our entire apparel packaging range, along with soy-based inks and water-based coatings. Brands can highlight these credentials directly on their packaging to resonate with eco-conscious consumers.

Fashion & Apparel Packaging FAQs

Answers to common questions regarding logistics, materials, and ordering.

What are the standard sizes for custom garment boxes?
The most common garment box sizes are: Small (30×20×10cm for shirts/tops), Medium (35×25×12cm for dresses/trousers), Large (40×30×15cm for outerwear), and Extra-Large (50×40×20cm for coats. However, we manufacture all garment boxes to your exact dimensions — there are no extra charges for custom sizing.
Do you offer garment boxes with ribbon handles?
Yes. Ribbon handle boxes are our most popular apparel packaging option — they eliminate the need for a separate shopping bag and create a premium unboxing experience. We offer twisted paper, satin ribbon, and cotton rope handles in custom colours to match your brand palette.
What is the best packaging for online clothing orders?
For online orders, we recommend sturdy folding carton boxes with auto-lock bases and tuck-top lids. The auto-lock base provides structural integrity without tape, while the tuck-top allows customers to reopen and reseal if needed for returns. Add interior printing and branded tissue paper for a premium unboxing experience.
Can you produce eco-friendly packaging for sustainable fashion brands?
Yes. Our eco-friendly apparel packaging uses 100% recycled content board or FSC-certified virgin board, printed with soy-based inks and finished with water-based coatings. We can include eco-certification statements on your packaging and provide documentation for B-Corp or sustainability reporting purposes.
