Cardboard Boxes
Cardboard boxes are the broadest packaging category on this site — the right starting point when you know you need a corrugated or paperboard box but haven't settled on a specific format yet. Underneath this category sit more specific box types built for different jobs: shipping and mailer formats built to survive transit, retail and gift formats built to present a product at the point of sale, and specialty formats like die-cut trays or window boxes built around a specific product shape.
The first real decision is board type. Corrugated board (a fluted inner layer between two liners) is built for strength and impact resistance, which is why it's the standard choice for shipping and storage. Solid paperboard (SBS or kraft, no flute) is thinner and doesn't offer the same crush resistance, but it folds, prints, and finishes more cleanly — which is why retail and gift boxes are usually built from it instead. Neither is universally better; the choice depends on whether the box needs to survive a shipping journey or needs to look considered on a shelf or gift table.
The second decision is construction style. A folding carton (reverse tuck, straight tuck, auto-lock bottom) ships and stores flat and is assembled at the point of use — a good fit for retail volume. A rigid two-piece box (a separate base and lid) holds its shape permanently and gives a slower, more deliberate opening experience, which suits a higher-value single item more than a high-volume SKU. A corrugated shipping box is sized around what it needs to protect in transit, with clearance and internal support decided from the product's own weight and fragility, not a fixed rule.
Every cardboard box on this site is made to order and can be printed with your own branding — this isn't a stock-box catalogue. Orders start at a minimum of 50 units, a dieline and digital proof review are included on every order at no extra charge, and production typically begins after proof approval and runs from 7 business days, with free US shipping included. Quote requests are usually answered quickly, typically the same business day and always within 24 hours. If you already know which specific box type you need — a mailer, a rigid gift box, a die-cut tray — its own page goes into the construction and sizing detail this page intentionally leaves at the decision level.
Products
Cardboard Jewelry Boxes
Cardboard jewelry boxes built as a rigid two-piece SBS paperboard box with a lift-off lid, sized around a single piece or a small set. Printed with your own branding and finished with foil stamping or lamination, built for a considered presentation moment rather than shelf volume.
Custom Cardboard Tube Packaging
Custom cardboard tube packaging built as a spiral-wound kraft or SBS paperboard tube with a telescoping paperboard end cap. Sized around a round or cylindrical product rather than forced into a rectangular carton, and printed with your own branding on a wraparound label or direct-printed surface.
Frequently asked questions
Corrugated board has a fluted inner layer for strength and impact resistance, making it the standard for shipping and storage. Solid paperboard (SBS or kraft) has no flute, so it's thinner and less crush-resistant, but folds and finishes more cleanly — which is why it's typically used for retail and gift boxes instead of shipping boxes.
A folding carton ships and stores flat and is assembled at the point of use, which suits higher-volume retail packaging. A rigid two-piece box (separate base and lid) holds its shape permanently and gives a more deliberate opening experience, which usually suits a single higher-value item rather than high-volume SKUs.
The minimum order is 50 units on the standard fulfillment path, and a dieline and proof review are included on every order at no extra charge.
Start with what the box has to do: survive a shipping journey (corrugated shipping box), present a product at retail (folding carton), or give a single item a considered unboxing (rigid two-piece box). Each specific format page on this site covers its own sizing and construction detail once you know which one fits.
