Cardboard boxes are the all-purpose packaging staple — used for retail cartons, shipping, storage, and everything between. The term spans thin paperboard for product boxes and fluted corrugated for transit, and we build whichever your job needs. They ship flat, store easily, and recycle readily, with full-color print available on either substrate. Made in Cheshire, Connecticut, our cardboard boxes start at 100 units with no setup or die charges and ship free anywhere in the contiguous US.
For US businesses wanting a dependable, recyclable box that handles retail or shipping without overspending.
Why US brands choose us for cardboard boxes
Custom Box Printing manufactures cardboard boxes from our US production facility, with free standard shipping anywhere in the contiguous United States and a 7–10 business day turnaround. We've printed cardboard boxes for solo founders launching their first product line, growing direct-to-consumer brands placing 5,000-unit runs, and established retail brands with 50,000+ unit production schedules — and we treat all three the same: no minimums, free design support, no setup or die-plate charges, and a 3D digital mockup before anything goes to press.
Every cardboard boxes order includes free in-house dieline and artwork support — our US-based designers will polish your existing files, or build a custom dieline from scratch to fit your exact product dimensions. We send you a 3D mockup to confirm look and proportions before production. For color-critical work, request a physical sample free — let’s talk about a customized sample so you can confirm the look before a full run.
Materials, print, and finish options
Lightweight paperboard (SBS, 14–24 pt) suits retail cartons and gives a clean white print surface; corrugated (E, B, or C-flute) suits shipping and storage where crush resistance matters. Kraft stock is the economical, recyclable option, and FSC-certified board is available. Whichever we use, folds and scores let the box ship flat and assemble square, and the surface accepts CMYK print and lamination.
Available finishes include:
- Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
- Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
- Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
- Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, FSC-certified stocks, water-based inks, recyclable rigid constructions.
- Compliance: FDA food-safe inks; certified child-resistant constructions for CBD/cannabis where required.
