The screen size you pick for a custom video box is the first decision that shapes everything else: how the box feels in someone’s hands, how much room is left for product or merchandise inside, what the video looks like when it plays, and the per-unit cost of the campaign.
This guide walks through every screen size FL Solutions builds, what each one is best suited for, and a quick decision framework for matching the size to your audience and budget.

Screen-by-Screen Breakdown
2.4″ to 3″ — Budget and Compact
The smallest screens in the FL Solutions lineup. Compact enough for video business cards or pocket-sized mailers. The 320 x 240 resolution and 4:3 aspect ratio look good for short, message-focused video. Best for high-volume runs where unit cost matters more than the visual impact of a larger screen, or for campaigns where the message is short enough that screen real estate is not the deciding factor.
Typical use cases: video business cards, event-invite mailers at scale, low-cost donor thank-yous, sales-team prospecting tools.
4.3″ — The B2B Sweet Spot
This is the most popular video box screen size for B2B campaigns. The 480 x 272 resolution in a 16:9 aspect ratio gives you enough visual real estate to deliver a real message without pushing the box dimensions into “this won’t fit on a desk” territory. The unit cost is reasonable, the wow factor is real, and the screen looks great with typical brand video.
Typical use cases: outreach mailers to qualified accounts, donor cultivation, influencer PR drops, holiday corporate gifting, partner appreciation kits.
Pricing reference (current as of 2026-05): a 25-unit order at 12″ L x 10″ W x 2″ D with a 4.3″ screen runs $92 to $98 per unit. At quantity 100, the same 4.3″ screen in an 8″ x 12″ x 3″ box drops to $83 to $86 per unit.
5″ IPS — When Color Matters
The 5-inch IPS panel is the smallest IPS option in the FL Solutions lineup. IPS panels offer better color accuracy and wider viewing angles (180 degrees, vs the narrower viewing window on LCD), which means the video looks correct even when the box is held at an off-axis angle or shown to someone next to the recipient. The 800 x 480 resolution at 16:9 delivers crisp playback.
Typical use cases: luxury and fashion brand launches, food and beverage campaigns where color fidelity matters, healthcare and beauty product reveals, any campaign where the unboxing will be filmed and posted to social.
7″ — The Premium B2B Option
The 7-inch screen is the second-most-common pick after the 4.3-inch. It looks substantially larger in the hand than the 4.3-inch, takes the wow factor up a level, and gives the campaign more visual punch when shown to a group or in a meeting setting. Available in both LCD and IPS.
Typical use cases: enterprise sales outreach, executive accounts, partner program kits, high-touch event invitations, product demo packages for complex B2B products.
10.1″ IPS — Maximum Impact
The largest screen in the lineup. Tablet-class IPS panel at 1024 x 600 resolution. The 10.1-inch screen turns the box into something closer to a presentation kit than a mailer. The unit cost is higher, but for executive outreach to a hand-picked list of high-value accounts, the math works.
Typical use cases: C-suite outreach for enterprise deals, premium product launches to a key account list, VIP donor cultivation, signature gifting at major industry events.
How to Pick the Right Size for Your Campaign
Two questions answer most of this decision:
How valuable is the recipient? Match the screen to the value of the contact. For prospecting at scale, the 4.3″ is the right tool. For named-account ABM and executive outreach, lean toward 7″ or 10.1″. For broad-distribution donor cultivation, 4.3″ hits the right cost-to-impact balance.
What goes inside the box? Larger screens push the lid dimensions, which reduces the room below for product or merchandise. If the campaign includes a meaningful physical gift (a watch, a wine bottle, a wearable, a tech gadget), a smaller screen leaves more room for the gift to be the visual focus. If the screen IS the centerpiece of the campaign, go larger.
A third consideration: will the unboxing be filmed? If the campaign is built around an influencer or creator filming the unboxing for their audience, IPS panels read correctly on camera at any angle. For non-filmed B2B outreach, LCD is fine.
Pricing by Screen Size
Larger screens add to the per-unit cost. Higher order quantities reduce it. The combination of those two variables produces the final per-unit price.
Current pricing as of 2026-05 (approximate, varies with box size and finish):
- 2.4″ screen: lowest unit cost in the lineup, typically 20-30% below the 4.3″ baseline
- 4.3″ screen: the baseline reference, $83-$98 per unit depending on box size and quantity
- 5″ IPS: modest upgrade over 4.3″ LCD, typically $5-$10 more per unit
- 7″ LCD or IPS: meaningful step up, typically $20-$40 more per unit than 4.3″
- 10.1″ IPS: premium tier, the largest unit cost in the lineup

Available screen sizes are 2.4 inch and 3 inch LCD, 4.3 inch LCD, 5 inch IPS, 7 inch (LCD or IPS), and 10.1 inch IPS. The 4.3 inch and 7 inch sizes are the most popular for B2B campaigns.
Which video box screen size is most popular?
The 4.3 inch LCD screen is the most popular pick for B2B campaigns. It hits the best balance of visual impact, unit cost, and box dimensions for most use cases. The 7 inch is the second-most-common pick for enterprise outreach and executive accounts.
What is the largest video box screen size available?
The largest is the 10.1 inch IPS panel at 1024 x 600 resolution. It produces a tablet-class presentation experience and is the right pick for premium executive outreach and signature donor cultivation.
How does screen size affect the box dimensions?
Larger screens push the lid dimensions, which reduces the room below for product or merchandise. For example, a 10.1 inch screen needs a box at least 11.5 inch x 8.75 inch at the lid; a 4.3 inch screen fits comfortably in a box as small as 8.75 inch x 6.26 inch.
What resolution and aspect ratio do the screens have?
The 2.4 inch screens are 320 x 240 at 4:3 aspect ratio. The 4.3 inch is 480 x 272 at 16:9. The 5 inch IPS and 7 inch screens are 800 x 480 at 16:9. The 10.1 inch IPS is 1024 x 600 at 16:9.
Does a bigger screen cost more?
Yes. Larger screens add to the per-unit cost. The 4.3 inch is the baseline; 5 inch IPS adds a modest premium; 7 inch and 10.1 inch step up more meaningfully. Higher order quantities reduce per-unit cost across all screen sizes.
How long does the battery last on each screen size?
Battery life is consistent across screen sizes: two to three hours of continuous playback per charge, with three to four months of standby life between charges. The battery is rechargeable via the USB cable that ships with every unit.
Can I order a sample to compare screen sizes in person?
Yes. Order sample video boxes through the FL Solutions shop. Samples ship in 4.3 inch or 7 inch screen sizes; specify your preference in the order notes. The sample cost is refunded when the order converts to a full production run.
