How to Save at Arka

Arka sells custom and eco-friendly packaging — mailer boxes, shipping boxes, poly mailers, product boxes, labels and stickers — aimed at small businesses and online sellers who need branded or sustainable packaging rather than plain shipping supplies. This guide covers the ways to pay less.

Step 1: Choose blank stock over custom-printed when you don’t need branding

Arka sells both custom (printed) and blank versions of its core products — Blank Mailer Boxes, Blank Literature Mailer Boxes and Blank Shippers alongside their custom-printed equivalents. Custom printing is a cost add-on, so if branding isn’t essential for a specific shipment, the blank version is the direct way to cut the price.

Step 2: Consider a compostable or recycled mailer instead of a box

For lightweight items, Arka’s compostable and recycled poly mailer lines (Compostable Poly Mailers, Recycled Honeycomb Mailer, Recycled Paper Mailer, Recycled Bubble Mailer) are a different product category from a rigid box — worth checking if a mailer suits your product, since packaging material and size both drive price.

Step 3: Get a quote for bulk or custom orders

The site has a dedicated “Get a Quote” option alongside standard checkout. For larger or highly custom orders, requesting a quote rather than assuming standard per-unit web pricing applies is worth doing before committing.

Step 4: Apply a promo code at checkout

1. Choose your packaging type (mailer box, shipping box, poly mailer, product box or custom box) and decide between blank and custom-printed.
2. Add to cart, or request a quote for bulk/custom needs.
3. Enter your promo code in the discount field.
4. Confirm the total dropped before paying.

Other ways to save

• Choose blank over custom-printed stock when branding isn’t required for that shipment.
• Pick a compostable or recycled mailer instead of a box for lightweight items, if it fits your product.
• Request a quote for bulk orders rather than assuming standard listed pricing applies at volume.
• Buy by size category directly (“Boxes by Sizes”) to avoid overpaying for a larger box than your product needs.

Shipping and returns

Check Arka’s own shipping and returns pages for the current cost, threshold and return/refund policy — these weren’t shown on the homepage itself.
