Custom Groomsmen Boxes & Groomsmen Packaging
Asking somebody to be a groomsman has turned into an occasion of its own. There is a moment, a photograph and usually a box handed over with a few things inside it. The quantities are tiny, the deadline is a wedding date, and the personalisation is the whole point. We produce a lot of groomsmen packaging at ZEE Packaging and small runs are exactly what we are set up for.
Tiny Quantities, Real Deadlines
A groomsmen box order is unlike almost anything else we print.
- Most weddings need between four and eight boxes
- The date does not move, so timing matters more than usual
- Each box often carries a different name
- There is no reorder window if something goes wrong
- Order early rather than close to the day
- We would always suggest one or two spares
Most groomsmen packaging suppliers cannot handle quantities this small, which is why couples struggle to find anything decent.
Personalisation Is The Point
The name on the lid is what makes it work.
- Individual names printed or foiled on each box
- A role printed underneath, best man or usher
- The wedding date, which turns it into a keepsake
- A short message inside the lid
- Matching artwork across the whole set
- Send names as a list and check the spellings carefully
- Rigid lid and base the classic groomsmen box
- Magnetic closure box premium groomsmen packaging
- Cardboard suitcase style a novelty format guests keep
- Drawer slide box a slow reveal for the moment
- Sleeve over a tray lower cost option
- Hinged lid keepsake box built to survive years afterwards
Sizes We Print Regular
Every groomsmen box is built to your contents, though these run often:
- 10" x 7" x 3" for a standard set with several items
- 12" x 9" x 3" for a larger gift
- 8" x 6" x 2.5" for a compact box
- 9" x 6" x 3" for a flask and glass set
- 11" x 8" x 3.5" for a full hamper style
- 6" x 4" x 2" for a single item gift
Lay the contents out as they will sit and measure that footprint, since these boxes usually hold several unrelated items.
Board And Finish
- Rigid greyboard 36pt or 48pt with a litho printed wrap
- Kraft board for a rustic or outdoor wedding theme
- Die cut insert holding each item in place
- Foil stamping, which suits names particularly well
- Blind deboss for a quieter, more masculine finish
- A printed interior, since it gets seen in the photograph
Mixed contents are normal here. A flask, a tie, a bottle opener and a card all have different shapes, so the insert does most of the work.
Lower Impact Options
- Recycled greyboard core beneath the wrap
- FSC certified stock, certificate available on request
- Soy based ink through the whole run
- Paper crinkle fill rather than plastic shred
- Paperboard insert instead of foam
- A groomsmen box sturdy enough to be kept for years

Frequently Asked Questions
We only need six, is that possible?
Our minimum is a hundred, though many couples order that and use the rest as favours or keepsakes for family.
What is the price of a groomsmen box?
Rough estimate is $1.20 to $2.80 per unit for a sleeve and tray format, $2.60 to $6.00 for rigid with an insert and $3.20 to $7.00 for a suitcase style at moderate quantity. Insert complexity moves it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Can each box have a different name?
Yes, printed digitally from a list. Double check the spellings, since we print exactly what you send us.
Can you build an insert for mixed items?
That is standard here. Send us the actual contents or exact dimensions and we cut a well for each one.
How far ahead should we order?
Six to eight weeks before the date if you can. Wedding deadlines do not move, so we would rather not run it close.
Do you supply crinkle fill?
We do, in paper. It fills any gaps and it photographs well when the box is opened.
Can you print inside the lid?
Yes, and we push for it. That surface appears in the photograph everybody takes of the moment.
