Why Work With Fantastic Mr. Box for PR Packaging?

Packaging only works when it is designed around the product and built to perform consistently. We focus on structure, fit and repeatability, so your packaging is reliable to pack, ship and open every time.

We are a UK-based packaging company with over 35 years of experience in structural design, artwork and production. All packaging is manufactured in Britain using FSC accredited, recyclable materials.

  • Stage 1: Send your products and brief

  • Stage 2: Plain sample for structural sign-off

  • Stage 3: Artwork print-ready files

  • Stage 4: 3D visual for approval

  • Stage 5: Production typically four weeks

  • Stage 6: Fulfilment if required

  • Yes. Our PR packaging is designed and manufactured in the UK, giving you better control over quality, communication and lead times. This is especially useful when packaging needs to be developed around press drops, influencer campaigns, product launches or stakeholder approval stages.

  • Yes. We design PR packaging around the actual products supplied, rather than working from guesswork. This helps with presentation, protection and fit, especially when the PR box includes multiple items, samples, bottles, jars, accessories, printed inserts or campaign materials.

  • Yes. We can work with your existing brand guidelines and brand assets, including fonts, colours, logos, lock-ups, artwork references and campaign messaging. This helps make the PR packaging feel consistent with the wider brand, product launch or marketing campaign.

  • Yes. We can review the structure, materials, print finishes and internal layout to help make PR packaging feel more premium and considered. This can include branded sleeves, internal print, card fitments, foiling, embossing, product reveals, printed inserts and more structured opening sequences.

  • Yes. PR packaging is often produced in lower quantities because it is usually designed for press, influencers, buyers, events, internal teams or selected customers. These projects are normally more bespoke and campaign-led, so the packaging is designed around the budget, contents and campaign objective.

  • Yes. We can help with kitting, assembly and fulfilment where required. This can include packing the products into the PR boxes, adding printed inserts or campaign materials, applying labels and preparing the boxes for bulk delivery or individual distribution.

  • Yes. Sustainability is considered as part of the design process. We can use FSC materials, recyclable boards and card fitments where possible, while still making sure the packaging feels premium, protects the contents and supports the campaign.

  • Our standard production lead time is around four weeks from artwork sign-off, depending on the packaging format, quantity and finish. Before production, we usually create a plain sample for approval, so the structure, size and product fit can be checked before artwork is finalised.

Sustainable Materials and Finishes for Press Drops

Press mailer boxes and media kits can look considered while staying responsible.

  • Sustainable inks and coatings specified by default
