Retail Boxes

About Retail Boxes

Retail boxes have to look right on the shelf and hold up getting there. Manufactured in Connecticut and printed in full-color CMYK, ours pair clean branded graphics with structures that stack, ship, and merchandise without damage. No minimums, no setup or die fees, free dieline support, and a free 3D mockup before production. From folding-carton retail packs to corrugated shelf-ready cases, we build packaging that protects product through the supply chain and presents it cleanly the moment it hits the floor.

Why US brands choose us for retail boxes

Custom Box Printing manufactures 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 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 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

We pick the substrate to the product and the placement. Lightweight goods run on folding carton for premium graphics and tight folds; heavier or shippable items use E- or B-flute corrugated for stacking and transit strength. Shelf-ready cases get tear-away perforation so they open into displays. Soft-touch, gloss, and matte lamination, foil, and spot UV build shelf appeal, while FSC and recycled kraft stocks cover sustainability programs and free Pantone matching keeps color consistent.

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.
