Custom Retail Boxes

About Custom Retail Boxes

Custom retail boxes are your product's first handshake on the shelf, and ours are built to close the sale. Printed full-color CMYK at our Cheshire, Connecticut plant, they deliver crisp branding, a clean structure, and shelf-ready presentation whether they sit on a peg, a counter, or an endcap. Runs start at 100 units with no setup, plate, or die charges, plus free in-house design and a free 3D mockup before production. From shelf-ready cases to retail-pack cartons, every box is engineered to merchandise cleanly and protect product in transit.

Why US brands choose us for custom retail boxes

Custom Box Printing manufactures custom retail 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 retail 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 retail 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

Retail packaging has to print sharp and survive the supply chain. We run folding carton for premium printed cartons and E-flute litho-laminate for shelf-ready cases that resist crushing on the truck and the shelf. Tear-away perforations convert cases into instant displays; gloss, matte, and soft-touch lamination plus foil, embossing, and spot UV add shelf appeal. FSC and kraft stocks support eco claims, and Pantone matching at no extra cost keeps brand color exact across runs.

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.

If you're not sure which combination will work best for your custom retail boxes, mention it in your quote request — our team will recommend the right material, print spec, and finish based on your product, budget, and brand positioning.
