Is It Too Late to Order Custom BFCM Packaging? (2026 Guide)
If you're reading this in October or early November 2026 and wondering whether you can still get custom BFCM packaging — the answer is yes. You have options at every stage, from fully custom boxes to quick-turnaround branded accessories.

The Math: Why It's Worth Ordering Even Late
A custom sticker costs $0.05–$0.15 each. Applied to a $0.30 kraft box, your total cost is $0.35–$0.45 per branded package. That's the difference between a forgettable delivery and a brand experience that drives repeat purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I still get custom boxes delivered before Black Friday 2026?
Yes, if you order by early November. Cubit Packaging offers 2-week rush production for all packaging types. For the absolute latest, custom stickers and labels can be produced in 5–7 business days and applied to stock boxes.
How much extra does rush packaging cost?
Rush production at Cubit adds a 15–25% expedite fee on top of standard pricing. For example, a $1.00/unit mailer box would cost $1.15–$1.25/unit with rush production. The faster turnaround is often worth the premium to avoid missing the BFCM sales window entirely.
What is the fastest packaging I can get for BFCM?
The fastest custom packaging options are digital printed stickers (2–3 days) and custom labels (5–7 days). These can be applied to stock kraft boxes for an immediate branded experience. Full custom mailer boxes take a minimum of 2 weeks with rush production.
