At shows when they buy off the table, the folders come with a protective pouch. Fixed blades come with a sheath or edge protector. I don't include additional packaging/boxes though some makers do have this for their offerings. Can be as fancy as you desire with the box being printed with logos and additional info.
One of the makers had some thermal lined lunch type bags done up with his logo and such that he included with purchase. Had them made in China for about $2 bag. Would have to contact a local packaging company for offerings. For additional visibility having custom packaging does promote your work if they are carried at shows, etc.
For shipped knives I ship in rectangular boxes that are primarily used for storing sports cards. Depending on size they cost between $.30-$1.25 each.
