Setting Up Custom Packaging and Marketing Materials

To start using a custom box or mailer, complete these three steps:

  1. Add as a SKU to your store. Create a new SKU for your custom packaging with accurate dimensions, weight, and a descriptive name for proper identification and correct shipping charge calculation.
  2. Create a Shipping Plan. Send the custom packaging to our facility using a shipping plan. See Creating a Shipping Plan in LVK for instructions.
  3. Contact Support. Open a support ticket to set up automation rules assigning the custom boxes to specific order types and products.

Deprecated Feature

The Custom Box and Custom Insert product settings are deprecated and have no technical function. Marking a SKU as Custom Box or Custom Insert will not assign it to your orders. You must contact support to complete this setup.
