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.

Specifications

Custom CBD boxes: specifications

Every box is drawn to your product, so these are the options, not a fixed catalogue. Your specialist confirms the exact spec on the proof.

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.

Fill in what you know. We reply in 12–24 hours. A product photo on a ruler is enough to start.

How it works

Four steps, one person.

The specialist who picks up your first email stays with the project until the boxes arrive.

  1. 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.

  2. Step 02

    We draw the structure

    Your packaging specialist builds the dieline around your product. Structural design is free.

  3. Step 03

    You approve the proof

    Drop your artwork onto the dieline. We check bleed, folds and barcodes, and send a digital proof.

  4. 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.
