Overview
What goes on a supplement box?
Start with the copy. The facts panel, directions and warnings take more space than most brands expect, and they set the minimum size of the box.
In the US, supplement labels carry a Supplement Facts panel under 21 CFR 101.36, plus the product name, net quantity and other required statements. The box has to fit all of that in readable type.
We print what you supply and check it fits the panel. The content of the label is yours to confirm with whoever handles your compliance.
- Front panel. Product name, net quantity, key claim.
- Facts panel. Usually a side or back panel.
- Directions and warnings. Often the second side.
- Barcode and batch. Placed where scanners and packers can find them.
Specifications
Custom supplement 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.
| Spec | Detail |
|---|---|
| Style | Reverse tuck end or lock bottom |
| Board | White paperboard for legible small type |
| Full color; black for small regulatory text | |
| Inserts | Paperboard collar for bottles, or none |
| Add-ons | Tamper-evident tear strip, hang tab |
| Size | Drawn to the container and the copy you need to fit |
| Recyclability | 100% recyclable paperboard |
| Minimum order | 50 units per design |
| Structural design | $0. We draw the dieline around your product |
| Proof | Digital proof on your dieline, checked for bleed, folds and barcodes |
| Production | 10–12 days on most orders, from proof approval. Shipping time is on top |
| Default finish | Aqueous coating on every box. Water-based, and it recycles with the box |
| Point of contact | One packaging specialist, from first sketch to delivery |
Board and build
Box by container
The container sets the closure.
| Container | Carton | Note |
|---|---|---|
| Capsule bottle | Reverse tuck end | Collar optional |
| Powder tub | Lock bottom | Heavier; needs a firm base |
| Sachets or sticks | Tuck carton with dividers | Count sets the size |
| Gummies in a pouch | Tuck carton or none | Many pouches ship without a box |
Test first. 50 units is enough to check shelf impact and label legibility before you order thousands.

Boxed or label only?
Many supplements sell with just a bottle label. A box adds space and shelf presence.
| With box | Label only | |
|---|---|---|
| Space for copy | Four panels | One wrap label |
| Shelf presence | Stands out, stacks neatly | Depends on the bottle |
| Tamper evidence | Tear strip possible | Seal on the bottle |
| Cost | Higher | Lower |
If your facts panel won't fit legibly on the bottle label, the box solves it.
Sizing
Size for the bottle and the copy
Measure the container at its widest point, cap on. Then check the copy: a box that fits the bottle but squeezes the facts panel into tiny type is the wrong box.
Send the container size and your label text, and we'll draw a carton with enough panel space. How to measure a box has the method.

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 supplement boxes: questions.
What is the minimum order for custom supplement boxes?
50 units per design.
Do you check our Supplement Facts panel?
We check it fits and prints legibly. The content is yours to confirm; in the US the rules are in 21 CFR 101.36.
Can supplement boxes be tamper-evident?
Yes, with a perforated tear strip or a seal over the tuck.
Which board is best for supplement boxes?
White paperboard. Small regulatory type prints most legibly on it.
How long do custom supplement boxes take?
10–12 days on most orders, counted from proof approval. Shipping time is on top.
Honest fit
When not to hire us.
Your formula or claims might change
Every label change means a new print run. Wait until the copy is final.
You need fewer than 50 boxes
Our minimum is 50 units. For 10 or 20, a stock box with a printed sticker will 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.
Got your label copy?
Send the container size and your label text. We'll draw a carton with room for all of it.
