Help finding a service - Custom printed cardboard box

[Calza]

Not convinced this is the best sub forum, but I really wasn't sure which would be most appropriate.

I'm trying to buy a cardboard box where I can put my own text on the side - just a totally plain box with some black printed text. Key thing here being a box, single. I've found a few that might offer this but understandably the minimum order is 25+ which is a bit more than I need!

It's just a one off as part of a jokey present (bit of a back story), where I want to have one thing on the outside and something different inside. You'll have to trust me it's hilarious, but not enough so to have 24 spare and useless boxes

I've tried all sorts of google combinations but can't turn anything up, so I'm tossing it up here in the hope of a suitable company!

Thanking you!

Does it have to be actually printed on the box? For instance, could you make a stencil and then sponge on ink / paint, or perhaps print onto some large stickers then cut out the printed bit?

[Calza]

I never thought of that - a big sticker on the top alone might be enough to pull it off. Good shout thanks!

If it was THAT funny you might have sold the other twenty three in here

depending on how the long its meant to last, cut vinyl will stick to cardboard. so if you have the box already or can get a plain box, a graphics company should be able to cut it for you. PM if you have a design, happy to have a look at it for you..

Appreciate the offer, but I think I'm going to try the suggestion above of getting some text labels printed. Should make it look official enough
