Food & Beverage Boxes

About Food & Beverage Boxes

Built for US food and beverage brands that need packaging safe enough to touch product and sharp enough to sell it. We print on food-grade stocks with FDA food-safe inks, grease-resistant and moisture-barrier coatings, so your box holds up to butter, oil, and condensation without bleeding. Made in Cheshire, Connecticut, runs start at just 100 units with no setup or die charges, and a free 3D mockup lets you approve the look before anything prints.

Why US brands choose us for food & beverage boxes

Custom Box Printing manufactures food & beverage 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 food & beverage 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 food & beverage 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

We match the stock to the food. Greasy or warm items get grease-resistant, moisture-barrier coatings over food-safe paperboard; dry goods get clean SBS or kraft for a natural look. All printing uses FDA food-safe, CMYK inks, with optional Pantone matching at no charge. Need eco credibility? FSC-certified and recycled kraft stocks are available without changing your price.

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 food & beverage 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.
