For brands

Book one panel on a shipping box that a webshop sends to its customers. Up to five other brands share the box and its print run, so you pay for one panel, not a whole box.

How pricing works

What you book

One or more panels

Lid, front, back, the two sides or the inside. The lid is seen first; the inside is seen last, by the customer alone.

A box size

S to XL. Each size has its own print areas, listed below in millimetres.

A category to travel with

The kind of shop whose customers fit yours: product type, parcel size, region.

What you get

Your artwork on each box in the batch

Full-colour print on the panel you booked, on every box the batch produces.

Your own QR code

Put a code on your panel for your campaign. Whether the recipient scans it is up to them.

A count of boxes shipped

Each box is registered when the shop scans it while packing. You see how many went out.

The shops on your batch

You know which webshops your panel travels with before the batch prints.

The rules

A box prints when it’s full

All six panels must be booked before a batch goes into production.

No brand takes all six

One brand can book more than one panel, never the whole box.

Shops can say no

Webshops see every brand on a batch and may decline it. Artwork must suit a household audience.

Matching

The plan is to match each batch to webshops whose customers fit your category, by product type, parcel size and region. For the pilot batch this is done by hand, with you, before anything is printed. It is the intended service, not something running automatically today.

Proof of shipping

We read the scans as a pattern: hundreds of boxes packed over two weeks look nothing like hundreds scanned in ten minutes.

This proves distribution: the box went out with an order. It does not prove anyone looked at your panel, and we won’t pretend it does.

Code 1 · seller

Scanned when the order is packed.

The webshop scans it at the packing bench, which registers the box as shipped. Any phone does it; no plug-in.

Code 2 · recipient

Faces whoever receives the box.

It belongs to the brands’ campaign. Whether to scan it is entirely up to the person holding the box.

Artwork

You supply print-ready artwork per panel on the dieline we send. If you need help, designers who know the format can take the brief. How designers work with AdBox.

FAQ

If something here sounds too good, ask. We would rather say “not yet” than oversell.
