Overview
What CBD packaging do we make?
The catch is compliance. Labeling and child-resistance rules differ by state and by product, and they change. We print the box to your artwork and check bleed, folds and barcodes, but we can't tell you what your label must say. Check with whoever handles your compliance.
A folding carton with a cradle holds a tincture bottle or a jar. A display box holds a row of units on a counter. A rigid gift box suits a set of two or three products.
We make the paper packaging only. Child-resistant closures are part of the container, not the carton, so choose those with your container supplier.
- Carton. A tuck-end box with a cradle. See custom folding cartons.
- Display box. A counter box that holds a row of units. See custom display boxes.
- Gift set. A rigid box with an insert per product. See custom gift boxes.
- Label panels. Space for ingredients, dosage and any required text.

Board and build
Which CBD box?
Pick by how the product is sold.
| Product | Box | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Tincture bottle | Tuck-end carton with a cradle | Holds the dropper upright |
| Gummy jar or pouch | Folding carton or sleeve | Low cost, easy to fill |

A tamper-evident tab is a common request. Tell your specialist if you need one.

Sizing
Sizing a CBD box
Send the container's height and widest diameter, with the cap on. If you use a dropper bottle, measure to the top of the dropper.
See how to measure a box. We add clearance when we draw the dieline.
Who uses CBD boxes
- Wellness brands. Tinctures, gummies and topicals.
- Retail displays. A counter box for dispensaries and shops.
- Subscription brands. See custom subscription boxes.
- Gift sellers. A rigid set with an insert for each product.
Finishes
Keep the print clear and legible.
CBD boxes carry a lot of text, so a matte finish reads best. Aqueous coating goes on every box by default.
Aqueous coating
Water-based and on every box by default. It recycles with the box.
Foil stamping
Metallic foil on the logo. It catches the light on the shelf.
Spot UV
Gloss on one area of a matte box. Good for a logo, bad for small text.
Soft-touch
A velvet feel, but it adds a plastic layer. Skip it if you need plastic-free.

One measurement and a quantity is enough to start. Your specialist replies with a structure, so you can see the box before you commit to anything.
How it works
Four steps, one person.
The specialist who picks up your first email stays with the project until the boxes arrive.
Step 01
Tell us what you're packing
Send the product dimensions, how it ships and how many you need. A photo on a ruler is enough to start.
Step 02
We draw the structure
Your packaging specialist builds the dieline around your product. Structural design is free.
Step 03
You approve the proof
Drop your artwork onto the dieline. We check bleed, folds and barcodes, and send a digital proof.
Step 04
We make and ship
Production takes 10–12 days on most orders. Boxes ship flat, packed in cartons, to your door.
FAQ
Custom CBD boxes: questions.
What is the minimum order for CBD boxes?
Best value starts at 50 units per design, because of logistics and shipping. If you need fewer, tell us: we can consider smaller orders.
How long do CBD boxes take?
10–12 days on most orders, counted from proof approval. Shipping time is on top and depends on where the boxes are going.
Do you charge for structural design?
No. Structural design is $0. We draw the dieline around your product, and you only pay once you order boxes.
Do you make child-resistant packaging?
We make the printed carton, not the container or a child-resistant closure. Child-resistance rules vary by state, so check yours and choose the container with your supplier.
Can you print my label text on the box?
Yes, as part of your artwork. We check bleed, folds and barcodes but not the content of the label.
Can I order display boxes in bulk?
Yes. Bulk is where per-box cost comes down. Tell us the quantity and we'll quote it.
Honest fit
When not to hire us.
You need compliance advice
We make boxes, not legal calls. Ask your compliance advisor what your label and packaging must carry before you finalize artwork.
You only need a handful of boxes
Best value starts at 50 units, because of logistics and shipping. For 10 or 20 we can consider it, but the cost per box is higher and a stock box with a printed sticker may cost you less.
You need boxes next week
Production runs 10–12 days before shipping. If your launch is sooner, buy stock boxes now and switch to custom for the next run.
You want plain brown boxes
If nothing gets printed, a stock box supplier is cheaper and faster. We're worth it once the box carries your brand.
What goes in the box?
Send the container's height and diameter, and how many boxes you need.
