Apparel boxes. They are an essential part of any shopping experience for clothes, as familiar as the changing room and the well-fitted mannequins. You choose a dress, a shirt, or cute new sweater you’ve had your eye on — it looks so good on the window model. You go to the changing room to see if it fits your curves as well as it fits those of the mannequin, and you’re delighted to see it looks just perfect. “I’ll take it,” you think, changing back into your now-tawdry-looking old outfit. You pull out your credit card and head to the cash register with your new purchase. The salesperson looks at it approvingly, and places it into an apparel box lined with colored tissue paper. Perhaps you reuse the box afterward, utilizing it as storage for your clothing, or perhaps a box for old letters or documents. If instead of purchasing the clothing for yourself, you intended it as a gift, the apparel box makes ideal gift packaging, especially if the store has gone to the trouble of dressing it up with a bow or ribbon.

As this little anecdote indicates, apparel boxes are an essential part of the packaging program for any retailer of clothing. Apparel Boxes protect merchandise and convey positive image for your company. At swalter.com, you’ll find a selection of these attractive gift boxes available in a range of colors, sizes, and styles. Made from up to 100% recycled paperboard, the two-piece folding construction of these apparel boxes allows for ease of storage and economy in shipping.
