How this page works

The posts and pins on this page come straight from our own accounts. Our server collects them on a schedule and stores the images on custompacka.ing, so browsing here does not load trackers from the social networks. If you press Load original post in the viewer, the platform's own embed loads, and that platform's privacy policy applies from that point. Our privacy policy explains this in more detail.

Every item links back to the original post, so you can like, comment, repost, save or reply there. On X posts you can reply, repost or like directly from the card. On Quora answers, the link opens the full answer and its comments.

Use our pins to build a better brief

A mood board is one of the most useful things you can bring to a packaging project. It shows a designer in seconds what words struggle to explain: the feeling of a soft-touch finish, the weight of a rigid box, how much color is too much on kraft.

  1. Create a board on your own Pinterest account for the project.
  2. Save pins from our boards and this page using the Save button. Save examples you dislike too, in a separate section, because knowing what to avoid is just as helpful.
  3. Add a short note to each pin about what you like: the structure, the color, the finish, the way the insert presents the product.
  4. Share the board link in your quote request. We use it to suggest structures and finishes, and to prepare your free 3D proof.

Pins are inspiration, not specifications. Colors look different on every screen, and a finish that looks dramatic in a photo may be subtle in your hand. That is why we recommend a printed sample before large runs when color or feel is critical.

Ask us anything on Quora

Our Quora Space collects questions about custom packaging and our answers to them. Good questions to ask include:

  • What box style suits a particular product, weight or shipping method?
  • How much does a certain quantity, size or finish usually cost, and what drives the price?
  • How should artwork be set up for a dieline, bleed and finishes?
  • Which materials are recyclable, and what claims can a brand honestly make?
  • How do you right-size boxes to reduce dimensional weight charges?

We answer in public so the answer helps the next person with the same question. For anything private, such as prices for your exact project, artwork files or order details, use the contact form, WhatsApp or the quote form instead.

Share your unboxing

If you have received packaging from us, we would love to see it. Tag @custompacka on Instagram or mention @CustomPacka on X. With your permission, we may share your post on our channels and credit you. We never post customer photos without asking first, and we never present anything as a customer post unless it really is one.

Join the community on this site

Social platforms are great for quick ideas. For longer discussions, feedback on your own packaging and help from other brands, join the CustomPacka community. It is free, and our team answers questions there too. You can also read our in-depth packaging guides or use the free tools to size, price and plan your boxes.

Frequently asked questions

Are the posts on this page real?

Yes. Everything here comes from CustomPacka's own Instagram, Pinterest, X, Quora and Facebook accounts, and each item links to the original post. We do not create or display posts that do not exist on our channels.

Why do some posts open on this site instead of the platform?

The viewer shows a copy of the post that our server collected, which keeps the page fast and avoids loading social network trackers. Use the button in the viewer to open the original post on the platform, or to load the platform's own embed.

Can I reply to a post from this page?

On X posts, the Reply, Repost and Like buttons open X with that post ready, so you can respond in one step. For Instagram, Pinterest, Quora and Facebook, open the original post to comment.

How often does this page update?

Pinterest and Instagram posts refresh every few hours. Quora answers and X posts are added as we publish them. If you posted something about us and do not see it, it may not be from our accounts. This page only shows our own posts.

Can I save your pins to my own boards?

Yes, please do. Use the Save button on any image to add it to your Pinterest boards, then share the board with us when you request a quote.
