To be exact about it: iBox Factory does not have a plant in Florida. We make boxes in West Chicago, Illinois and in Guangzhou, China, and we ship them to Florida with US shipping included. Anyone telling you they have a facility in every state you search for is describing a website, not a factory.
How your boxes reach Florida
| Lane | Route | Best for a Florida buyer |
|---|---|---|
| Rush | Expedited production plus air freight | Event dates, a season that started early, a stockout |
| Standard | Air freight | Regular replenishment where the date is known but not tight |
| Cost saver | Sea freight | Planned volume, lowest cost, needs the longest runway |
Production runs from about 7 business days, plus 2 to 5 days for delivery. Specialty imported items can run up to about 12 weeks, which matters for anyone ordering seasonal packaging into a Florida tourist calendar. The rush premium runs about 7 to 25% depending on the job.
Humidity is a real packaging variable here
Corrugated board takes on moisture from the air, and board that has absorbed moisture is measurably less stiff than dry board. That affects Florida storage more than Florida transit. Keep flat stock on pallets rather than on a concrete floor, keep the shrink wrap on until you are ready to run the boxes, and avoid storing cartons against an exterior wall in an unconditioned unit. If your product itself is moisture sensitive, say so on the quote and we will factor the board and any coating into the specification.
Who orders boxes into Florida
- Ecommerce sellers shipping from South Florida fulfillment space.
- Food and bakery operators supplying seasonal and tourist demand.
- Marine, outdoor and sporting goods suppliers packaging parts and accessories.
- Event, hospitality and gifting businesses that order in bursts.
What is included on a Florida order
The cutting die and the printing plates, design support to get your artwork print ready, US shipping, and a digital proof before anything runs. The minimum is 100 boxes per design, and unit pricing starts at about $0.48 per unit at bulk volumes with the real figure confirmed on your written quote.
Receiving a delivery
Tell us on the quote request whether your Florida address can take a pallet. A residential address, a small retail unit or a shared office often cannot, and a delivery that has to be redirected or broken down costs days. If you need parcel delivery rather than freight, say so at quote stage so the run is packed for it, rather than discovering it when the truck arrives.
Planning around hurricane season
Florida buyers who hold seasonal stock often order earlier in the year on the cost saver lane and keep packaging inland or in conditioned storage. That is a business decision rather than a packaging one, but it is worth raising on your quote request so the lane and the delivery window are matched to when you can actually receive a pallet.
