Black corrugated is harder to print and harder to keep clean than kraft, and that is precisely why brands use it: a black shipper stands out in a delivery van full of brown cartons. The board is dyed through rather than surface printed, so scuffs do not show white edges.
Sizes are custom and printing runs full-colour CMYK or as a single-colour logo.

What this box does for the product inside it
Black through the board
Dyed board does not flash a white core when a corner is knocked in transit.
Single-colour logo keeps cost down
A one-colour logo on black gives the premium look without full-colour print cost.
Custom internal dimensions
The box is cut to the product, which reduces void fill and dimensional weight.
Corrugated protection
The flute wall absorbs handling through the parcel network.
Strong unboxing contrast
A pale product against a black interior photographs well for customer content.
Problems it solves
White scuff marks on printed black boxes
Board dyed through the flute avoids the white edges that surface print shows.
Deliveries that look like every other parcel
A black shipper is recognisable at the doorstep before it is opened.
Oversized cartons inflating freight
Custom sizing keeps the shipped cube to what the product needs.
