Common questions about custom cartonboard boxes
Everything you need to know before ordering custom custom cartonboard boxes.
What is the difference between cartonboard boxes and corrugated boxes?
Cartonboard boxes (often called folding cartons) are made from smooth paperboard and are designed primarily for shelf presentation and brand impact. Corrugated boxes are thicker and built mainly for transit protection. Many brands use cartonboard as the primary retail pack, then place it inside a corrugated shipper for ecommerce fulfilment.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom cartonboard boxes?
Our standard MOQ starts from 1,000 units. This keeps setup and print costs efficient while still being accessible for most growing brands. If you're launching a new SKU, we can advise the best print route to keep unit economics sensible at lower volumes.
Which print process should I choose for cartonboard packaging?
Digital is best for short runs and fast turnarounds. Flexo/HD flexo is cost-effective at higher volumes for clean artwork. Litho/offset is ideal for premium detail, gradients, and colour-critical brand work. We'll recommend the process based on your volume, artwork complexity, and budget.
Can cartonboard boxes include special finishes and functional features?
Yes. We can add spot gloss, foiling, emboss/deboss, and tactile coatings for shelf impact, plus practical features like peel & seal, tear strip opening, and crashlock bases to improve pack-out speed and user experience.
How sustainable are cartonboard boxes?
Cartonboard boxes are widely recyclable through kerbside streams, and we can source FSC Mix certified board as standard. Depending on your brief, we can also specify recycled content and compostable/biodegradable constructions. We'll balance sustainability targets with performance, cost, and lead times.
