Wish there was samples or at least an example creator so I can see what our branded box would look like.

Working on adding that shortly. In the meantime we do email you a proof of your design before we send it for print

A few observations:

- from your configurator, it's not 100% clear where each bit of info from the Text form goes on the box and if they're optional or not

- the sample boxes on your site appear to show a mark only logo, no text (judging from its side placement on LaunchBox and Mini boxes). in this particular case, it makes sense that a Brand/Company/Product name at the very least would have to be additionally printed.

1) What happens when a user insists on printing a more complex logo containing both a mark and text typeset in their preferred typeface?

- It is enough to just upload a flattened vectorised file and simply leave the Brand Name and/or Tagline field(s) empty?

2) What file types do you accept for the logo?

The site's design is not terrible, it is quite unique and therefore interesting. But I still gotta say that the elements on the main page are too drawn out: https://i.imgur.com/Xvs0F80.png

Also, kinda nitpicky but still, while the page is loading it looks like this which is quite ugly: https://i.imgur.com/dIBdD5g.png

Dang, this is perfect, but none of your box sizes fit what I'm shipping. Any plans to add more size options?

+1. I need to be able to ship 20x20" matted prints (so, big but relatively flat), and finding a safe and easy means to ship these prints sucks.

Incidentally, I'd love to be able to ship a bunch of product off to Level and have them frame and drop-ship my prints (hint, hint!)
