The packaging color box refers to a folding paper box and a micro corrugated paper box made of cardboard and micro corrugated cardboard. The companies that consume such boxes are called color box printing and packaging plants. Packaging boxes are generally used as mid-range packaging methods, between inner packaging and outer packaging. Literally, this kind of box is generally composed of several colors, giving people a strong visual sense, so that buyers and users can have a little understanding of the overall appearance, color and other details of the goods. It is especially suitable for goods that cannot be unpacked before purchase. It has been widely used in electronics, food, beverage, alcohol, tea, cigarettes, medicine, health care products, cosmetics, small household appliances, clothing, toys, sporting goods and other industries, as well as in commodity bag disassembly sets and other industries. It is an indispensable package commodity for commodity circulation.

The price of color box is generally calculated by: paper price+prepress cost+startup cost+post press cost+logistics and transportation cost (optional)=(customer’s price). Each part has its own pricing rules:
- Paper price calculation method: component (law) × Gram number × Tonnage price ÷ 500 sheets ÷ number of sheets × impression × 1.1% loss=total payment for paper goods
- The cost of packaging color box printing includes the following aspects, and its calculation method is as follows:
① Design fee: 150-500 USD/PCS including proofing and film;
② Manufacturing cost: USD 100-150/PCS including proofing and film;
③ Typesetting fee: 5-10 dollars per edition (depending on quantity and how difficult it is);
④ Proofing fee: USD30-500 /PCS.
- The startup fee is calculated according to the market price, and the average price is USD238-1300;
- Post press processing includes surface treatment (hot stamping, UV embossing, film coating, oil polishing) and mounting, die cutting, sticky, manual, packaging, etc., which can be priced according to the actual situation.
The above price of packaging color box is only for reference. Each manufacturer has its own set of forms for detailed price calculation, and the cost of different types of manufacturers also has a large gap.
