Custom Textile Boxes & Textile Packaging
Textiles cover a huge spread of products. Bed sheets, towels, curtains, fabric rolls, cushion covers, table linens, they all sit in the same category and they all need something different from the box. That is why we ask a lot of questions upfront before quoting textile packaging at ZEE Packaging.
The one thing they share is bulk. Fabric takes up space, it compresses unevenly, and a badly sized textile box either crushes the goods or ships half full of air.
Start With Weight And Fold
At ZEE Packaging, we size custom textile packaging around both the folded or rolled dimensions and the finished pack weight, because those two factors determine the box depth, structure and board strength.
- How the item is folded, flat, rolled or vacuum reduced
- How much the finished pack weighs
A folded king size sheet set and a rolled bath towel take completely different textile packaging even at the same volume. Send us both numbers and we will size it properly.
- Folding carton with window retail textile box for sheet sets and towels
- Rigid lid and base premium textile packaging for luxury linens
- Corrugated mailer ecommerce textile box going direct to customer
- Shipping shipper carton plain outer, bulk textile packaging for wholesale
- Drawer and slide box gifting range
- Handle carton with cutout heavier items, easier for shoppers to carry
Common Sizes
ZEE Packaging produces custom textile boxes in a wide range of sizes, tailored to the product type, folded dimensions, thickness, and packing format for a secure and efficient fit.
- 12" x 9" x 3" for towel sets and pillowcases
- 14" x 10" x 4" for single sheet sets
- 16" x 12" x 5" for king size bedding, our most ordered textile box
- 18" x 14" x 6" for duvet covers and comforters
- 20" x 4" x 4" for rolled fabric and curtains
- 10" x 8" x 3" for cushion covers and table linens
Board Matters More Here Than Most
Select the board strength for custom textile boxes based on your product weight, box size, and shipping demands, using our corrugated, SBS, kraft, or rigid board.
- Corrugated B flute for shipping textile boxes with real load
- Corrugated E flute for lighter retail
- SBS C1S for smooth printed textile packaging
- Kraft board for organic cotton and linen ranges
- Rigid greyboard 36pt or 48pt for premium sets
We would not put a king size bedding set in anything under B flute. It looks fine leaving us and then arrives with a caved lid.
Showing The Fabric
ZEE Packaging can add PET windows, touch openings, recyclable die cuts, printed fabric imagery and handle cutouts to custom textile boxes so shoppers can better see, feel, and carry the product.
- Die cut window with PET patch, standard for retail textile boxes
- Open touch hole so shoppers feel the weave directly
- Plain die cut opening, no film, fully recyclable
- Full print with fabric photography instead of a window
- Handle cutout on heavier textile packaging
- Fiber content and thread count
- Dimensions in inches and centimeters
- Wash and care symbols
- Country of origin
- Barcode with quiet zone
Our prepress team checks every one of these against the dieline so nothing gets cut at trim.
Finishing
ZEE Packaging offers a lot of finishing & lamination options to give custom textile packaging a more refined and premium finish.
- Matte or gloss lamination, matte hides handling marks better
- Soft touch on premium textile boxes
- Spot UV over logo
- Foil stamping for gift ranges
- Emboss and deboss on kraft
- Printed inside panel
Greener Options
- Recycled kraft textile box with no film
- FSC certified board, certificate on request
- Soy based inks
- Open touch hole instead of PET window
- Right sized textile packaging so you ship less air

Frequently Asked Questions
Which flute for bedding?
B flute as a minimum for a full bedding set. E flute is fine for towels and pillowcases but it flexes under a heavy load.
What's the price of these textile boxes?
Rough estimate is $0.55 to $1.60 per unit for folding cartons, $1.20 to $5.20 for corrugated mailers and $2.80 to $8.00 for rigid at moderate quantity. Window patches, handle cutouts and foil add to that. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Should we add a touch hole or a window?
Depends on the item. Towels and throws sell better with an open touch hole because the feel is the selling point. Sheet sets do fine with a PET window.
Can you add a carry handle?
Yes, either a die cut cutout or a rope handle. On heavier textile packaging we reinforce the panel around it.
Can you print inside the lid?
Yes and it is cheap to add. It makes an ordinary carton feel considered when someone opens it.
