What's the Arka process, step by step?

Firstly, you place an order. Secondly, we'll send you a design proof of your box(es) within 2 business days. Thirdly, once the proof is approved your boxes go into production. And lastly, you'll receive a shipment notification email once your boxes are on their way to you!

If I place a reorder, do I have to re-submit all my artwork again?

Nope! We'll keep a record of your design details (your creation), so reordering is simple and easy.

How is my price determined?

Your price is determined by the box type, sizing, and material you select. Designs on the outside of the box are free!

After proof approval process begins we can’t issue a refund. Boxes are pushed into production the moment they are approved and materials are purchased 2 business days after purchase. Reprints on structural issues or design issues are accepted within reason 30 days purchase and once delivered.

Do you offer other packaging types, size, or colors?

Yes, we can do custom packaging - tell us what you're looking for via our Custom Quote Request page!

Frequently Asked Questions

Read the answers to some common queries on custom boxes and eco-friendly packaging below. Feel free to contact us if you have any additional questions.

I need custom eco-friendly packaging for my jewelry business. Will my products be safe in these boxes?

Absolutely. We not only focus on environmentally friendly packaging but also provide you with safe, secure, and sturdy boxes to protect your products optimized for ecommerce.

Can you print my brand name on these custom boxes?

Certainly. We are renowned for offering customized packaging solutions. You can share your brand logo and design of the packaging with us. We’ll review it, make it fit well on the packaging, print it, and ship it to you.

What’s the best packaging material for wrapping glass items?

Do you take bulk orders?

Yes, we do take bulk orders. Please feel free to connect with our team and discuss your requirements.

What file format should I submit my design in?

For images or logo files, we recommend 300dpi or larger in one of the following formats: PNG, PSD, PDF, ESP, or Ai. If customers would like to submit their own dielines, we recommend the dieline in one of the following formats: PDF or Ai.

Can I order a sample before placing a full production run?

We always recommend just placing a quick 10-box order, that way you can evaluate the designs with your business and friends. If you still prefer a 1-box sample, reach out to support@arka.com about the sample you're looking for and we'll get the sample process going for you.

How long is the production time?

Our standard production time is 2 to 3 weeks after proof approval. If additional proofing iterations are required, it may increase the production time. Shipping will take approximately 2 - 7 business days. Your order may require shipping via LTL Freight and additional delivery time may be needed for such orders. These estimates are based on standard production conditions. Busier times of the year may increase lead times on some orders.
