Custom Cardboard Boxes for Retail and E-Commerce
Custom cardboard boxes are the most versatile packaging solution available — lightweight enough to keep shipping costs low, sturdy enough to protect products on retail shelves, and cost-effective enough for high-volume production runs. They are the workhorse of product packaging across every industry.
Material and Board Weight
Manufactured from SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate) paperboard or C1S (Coated One Side) board, these boxes provide a smooth white surface that produces sharp, vibrant printed graphics. Board weights range from 300gsm for lightweight products to 400gsm for heavier items requiring extra structural rigidity.
The folding carton construction means boxes ship flat and assemble quickly — either by hand for small operations or through automated cartoning machines for high-volume fulfillment.
Structural Styles
Tuck-end boxes are the standard retail configuration with top and bottom flaps that tuck into the box body. Auto-bottom boxes feature a pre-glued base that pops open and locks automatically, dramatically speeding up packing operations. Reverse tuck boxes open from opposite ends for specific product insertion requirements.
Additional structural options include hang-tab die cuts for retail peg displays, window panels for product visibility, and crash-lock bottoms for maximum base security.
