The measured phrase cheap custom corrugated boxes is a buyer cost-preference signal, not a discount this service publishes. Use it to write fill, pack-out and destination constraints so factories quote the same application, then decide whether a lighter flute or a shorter print path actually fits the line.

State product weight, void-fill method and carrier cube rules the buyer already uses. A mailer that must survive a parcel sort is a different brief from a palletized RSC that never leaves a closed loop. If print is only a SKU mark, say so; a four-color wrap is another line.
Limitation: we do not run drop tests. Ask the plant whether its edge crush test file or a packed-box protocol is the document it will attach.
Name the primary pack, line speed expectation in qualitative terms, and whether ink sits near a food contact surface. BRCGS Packaging or mill hygiene statements belong to the named plant. They are not site badges.
Limitation: a recyclable kraft look does not replace a migration file. PCR liner content is a mill declaration to verify, not a marketing sentence on this page.
Export packs often need double-wall or a higher burst figure, plus pallet pattern and moisture notes. Write the destination country and whether ISPM wood appears under the box. Corrugated strength files still sit with the mill.
Limitation: we do not book ocean freight. Incoterms and document sets stay on the commercial offer you later sign with a named supplier.
Call out lock style, opening force and whether the same die must serve several artworks. Digital print versus flexographic printing is a run-length decision: short, changing SKUs versus a frozen long run.
Limitation: color on kraft will not match a coated folding-carton proof. Ask for a printed sample on the quoted board, not on a white mock-up.
Tick the items you already know. Unticked items stay as questions on the form. The boxes do not submit data; they are a writing aid.
Two disputes often appear here. First, a lighter flute can cut board cost and still fail a pack-out if the product is dense; a heavier flute raises cube and freight. Second, digital print can lower plate cost on short art changes, while flexographic printing often holds spot color on a long frozen run. Write which side of each pair you are willing to accept before plants guess.
A third comparison belongs on industrial lines: ECT versus burst. Do not convert 32 ECT into 275 lb burst by arithmetic. Keep the method the plant actually tests. See Material Options if PCR or paper-versus-plastic mailers are still open.
Use the same fields as the site form. No upload control exists; say that a die line will follow. We do not advertise a reply window because intake timing is not configured on this site.
