Custom Popcorn Boxes

About Custom Popcorn Boxes

For US popcorn brands, cinemas, and event caterers that want packaging as fun as the snack. Our popcorn boxes and tubs use grease-resistant food-safe board so butter and oil won't soak through or dull the print. Open-top scoop styles and closed cartons both print in bright full color with Pantone matching. Made in Connecticut with FDA food-safe inks, free design support, a free 3D mockup, runs from 100 units, and free contiguous-US shipping.

Why US brands choose us for custom popcorn boxes

Custom Box Printing manufactures custom popcorn boxes from our US production facility, with free standard shipping anywhere in the contiguous United States and a 7–10 business day turnaround. We've printed custom popcorn boxes for solo founders launching their first product line, growing direct-to-consumer brands placing 5,000-unit runs, and established retail brands with 50,000+ unit production schedules — and we treat all three the same: no minimums, free design support, no setup or die-plate charges, and a 3D digital mockup before anything goes to press.

Every custom popcorn boxes order includes free in-house dieline and artwork support — our US-based designers will polish your existing files, or build a custom dieline from scratch to fit your exact product dimensions. We send you a 3D mockup to confirm look and proportions before production. For color-critical work, request a physical sample for $50 — the full $50 is credited back to your production order the moment you proceed, so it's never a sunk cost.

Materials, print, and finish options

Buttered popcorn is greasy, so grease-resistant coatings over food-safe board keep oil from soaking through and dulling the print. We offer open-top scoop boxes for concessions and closed cartons for retail and gifting, both sturdy enough to hold a full fill. FDA food-safe inks keep contact safe. Bright full-color CMYK and Pantone matching deliver the bold, fun, carnival-style look popcorn sells on.

Available finishes include:

• Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
• Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
• Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
• Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
• Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, FSC-certified stocks, water-based inks, recyclable rigid constructions.
• Compliance: FDA food-safe inks; certified child-resistant constructions for CBD/cannabis where required.
