About Custom Pet Treat Boxes
Pet treat packaging is a shelf-and-DTC problem
The DTC pet-treat category is booming — grain-free, single-ingredient, human-grade, freeze-dried, dental, functional — and every brand wants a carton that stands out on a crowded Chewy or Petco shelf while also arriving at a subscription customer's door in one piece. We route the dieline for the specific treat format (loose treats, individual pouches, bars, chews) and print full-color CMYK offset with free Pantone matching so the brand color reads true across every SKU in the line.
Structures we print
- Reverse tuck-end — the everyday treat carton, ships flat.
- Straight tuck-end — cleaner front for logo-forward pet brands.
- Auto-bottom — for heavier bulk-treat cartons (500g-1kg).
- Window carton — die-cut with PET film patch to show the treat.
- Sleeve-and-tray — for variety-pack or multi-flavor treat sets.
What pet treat cartons typically carry
- Statement of identity + treat type + flavor
- Net weight (US customary + metric)
- Ingredient statement (US pet food is regulated by AAFCO model rules + state feed control; brand's copy)
- Guaranteed analysis (crude protein/fat/fiber/moisture percentages)
- Feeding guidelines by pet weight
- Manufacturer/distributor name and address
- Best-by / lot code (usually a hot-stamp zone)
- Barcode

Why US brands choose us for custom pet treat boxes
Custom Box Printing manufactures custom pet treat 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 custom pet treat 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: low MOQs (100-unit runs), free design support, no setup or die-plate charges, and a 3D digital mockup before anything goes to press.
Every custom pet treat 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
Pet treat outer cartons are usually 14-16pt SBS or kraft folding cartons — SBS for brands leaning bright and photograph-heavy front panels, kraft for natural, human-grade, or grain-free positioning. Auto-bottom construction handles heavier bulk-treat cartons (500g+). Window die-cuts with PET film are common for treats where the shape or color sells the SKU. For soft treats needing moisture barrier, the treat itself usually ships in an inner foil pouch inside the carton.
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, widely recyclable paperboard and water-based inks.
- Compliance: soy-based inks; child-resistant-style constructions for CBD/cannabis on request.
