Custom Cardstock Product Boxes
Also called: cardstock retail box · printed product carton · paperboard product box
Lightweight paperboard packs for products where print quality matters more than structural strength: tech accessories, small electronics, and boxed sets. Because cardstock cuts and folds without a flute layer, the panels stay flat and edges stay crisp, which is what makes fine type and small logos reproduce cleanly. Board weight is matched to the pack size so the box holds its shape without bowing at the panel centre. SBS, kraft, and recycled grades print offset with foil, spot UV, and emboss. Runs from 500 to 3000 units, sampled in 3–5 days, DDP pricing to the US, EU, UK, and AU.
