Custom Footwear Packaging Manufacturer

Packaging is where a footwear brand meets its customer before the shoe does. As a footwear packaging manufacturer and supplier, we have developed and produced custom shoe boxes, dust bags, tissue, hangtags, labels and inserts for our footwear clients — made by a specialist shoe box factory and packaging factories in our network, sized to your shoes, printed to your brand guidelines and packed with the footwear order.

Does DOING manufacture custom shoe boxes and footwear packaging?

Yes. DOING is a custom footwear packaging manufacturer and supplier for footwear brands. It has developed and produced shoe boxes, dust bags, tissue paper, hangtags, labels and inserts for its footwear clients, made in specialist packaging factories whose board, carton, hangtag and label materials have SGS test reports, available on request.

With your footwear order

Why order footwear packaging with your shoes

  • Box sizes are worked out from your actual shoe size run, so every size closes without crushing the shoe.
  • Box-end labels and barcodes are prepared from the same order data as the footwear, so packing and labelling match the packing list.
  • Boxes arrive at the packing line in time for final packing, and outer cartons are planned around your container loading.

Quality control before shipment

  • Box dimensions and construction against the approved sample
  • Print colour against the approved proof
  • Logo, barcode and text accuracy (barcodes scan-checked)
  • Board strength and corner integrity
  • Dust bag and tissue print and finish

Inspection follows the same approach as our footwear — see quality control & AQL.

Supplier documentation

Packaging materials with SGS test reports

Our packaging suppliers hold SGS test reports for the materials they supply — shoe-box board (including heavy metals, formaldehyde and PFAS screening), outer-carton board, corrugated liner, hangtags and adhesive labels. Reports are available on request for your compliance file. We describe each result exactly as reported; where a test is reported as “see results” rather than pass, we say so.

Who makes it

Factory, supplier and accountability

Our custom packaging items have been developed and produced for our footwear clients as a complementary service. They are manufactured in specialist factories in our network — dedicated insole, packaging, bag and sock factories — while DOING runs development, sampling, quality control and shipment, so you deal with one manufacturer and supplier for your footwear and everything that goes with it.

FAQ

Footwear Packaging — buyer questions

Can you make shoe boxes for every size in my range?

Yes. We work out box dimensions from your actual size run — usually a small number of box sizes covering the whole range — so each pair fits without crushing.

Who manufactures the packaging?

We do, as part of our service to footwear clients: packaging is manufactured in specialist shoe box and packaging factories in our network, with DOING handling the specification, artwork check, sampling review and inspection, and packing the boxes with your footwear.

Do your packaging suppliers have test reports?

Yes — SGS reports for shoe-box board, outer cartons, corrugated liner, hangtags and labels. They are the suppliers’ reports, available on request; supplier names are not published.

Can you print barcodes and box-end labels?

Yes. Send your barcode system (UPC/EAN) and label layout; we prepare labels from the order data and scan-check barcodes during inspection.

Is the packaging compliant with EU packaging rules?

Compliance depends on your market and the materials chosen. We can supply the packaging suppliers’ test reports for your compliance review; we do not certify compliance on your behalf.

Can you match packaging I already use?

Usually, yes. Send a physical sample or dieline and artwork, and we will review whether the same construction and finish can be reproduced.
