How Creative Agencies Can Profit from CustomBoxes.io

Creative agencies thrive by helping brands stand out. But in today’s digital-first world, one of the most overlooked growth opportunities isn’t online—it’s in the box.

At CustomBoxes.io, we help agencies turn packaging into profit by connecting the physical world to the digital world. Through custom-branded shipping boxes and dynamic QR codes, you can offer clients packaging that not only looks great but also drives repeat sales, captures data, and integrates seamlessly with digital campaigns.

And here’s the best part: you can partner with us at whatever level makes sense for your agency—whether you want a hands-off referral stream or a true white-label packaging business under your brand.

Why Packaging is a Missed Opportunity for Agencies

For many agencies, packaging is an afterthought. But for brands shipping products daily, the box is the first physical touchpoint a customer has with their business. With smart, branded packaging, agencies can help clients:

Build stronger brand recognition through custom boxes with logos
Turn unboxing into a customer acquisition and retention strategy
Collect data on customer behavior through dynamic QR codes
Create repeat-purchase landing pages or direct customers to loyalty programs, ads, or new product launches

This is where agencies can step in—not only to help clients stand out but also to add a profitable, low-effort revenue stream.

Three Ways to Partner with CustomBoxes.io

We’ve built partnership tiers that scale with your agency’s ambitions:

1. Advocacy Program – Simple Referral Income

If you want to start small, the Advocacy Program is the easiest option:

Share your unique referral link with clients
They get 10% off their order
You earn 10% commission on every order

Encourage clients to sign up for subscriptions or our Buy More, Save More program for recurring orders—and recurring commissions for you.

This is zero work, steady upside.

2. Faux White Label Solution – Resell Packaging Without Heavy Lift

For agencies that want to control the packaging experience without fully rebranding, we offer what we call a “faux” white label solution:

You order boxes directly from our site on behalf of clients
Because our brand name is fairly generic, you can resell under your own service umbrella
Example: 500 12x12x12 custom boxes cost $500–$1,000 with us (competitors charge $3,500–$4,500)
You keep the margin—whether that’s market price or a discounted rate

Upgrade path: Once your sales reach $10k/month, we’ll create a custom landing page with a unique URL to give you a branded client experience.

This tier lets you expand your service offering quickly, with no warehouse, no staffing, and no operational complexity.

3. True White Label Solution – Own the Business End-to-End

For agencies with $50k+/month in packaging sales, we deliver a full white-label solution:

We build a Shopify Plus clone of our site under your branding
You own the customer relationship and checkout experience, while we handle production and fulfillment
Clients see only your agency name—never ours

This is a true white label partnership, giving you the infrastructure to run your own packaging business powered by our low-cost backend.

Smart Connected Boxes: Packaging Meets Digital Marketing

The real power comes when packaging becomes interactive. Our dynamic QR codes make every box a campaign asset:

Redirect customers to repeat-purchase pages
Launch new product announcements
Track engagement with real-time analytics
Personalize campaigns for loyalty or subscription programs
Update campaigns anytime—without reprinting boxes

For agencies, this creates an opportunity to bundle ongoing marketing retainers with packaging, ensuring clients keep coming back to you for strategy and execution.
