- Fold the box to fit the product well.
- Make the finishing to the box so it looks good and the custom promotional boxes does not fall or break. Then use the packing tape to seal the box. If the item is fragile, I suggest you insulate the box with materials such as bubble wrap, tissue paper or peanut wrap, etc.

Questions and answers
One of the questions I hear a lot about DIY custom boxes is how they are better than just buying pre-made custom boxes made by professionals. In the case of DIY:
- They are usually cheaper than going through a production
- you can have much more control over how the process is performed
- Sometimes the manufacturers don't allow you to add an addition you want
- Sometimes manufacturers in your area do not have a specific material you need or want.
In support of buying it in a store, some might say:
- When you build, you lose time, which can cause you to lose money and nobody wants to waste them
- There is no guarantee for homemade products, in case the box is broken, you would have to start over and spend more money
- There is questionable quality for handmade items, such as boxes.
The choice is up to you as an entrepreneur or simply as a creative craftsman, it is up to you to make some difficult decisions taking into account your products and the boxes you use.
