Learn More About Cardboard Boxes

Cardboard boxes are the everyday workhorse of shipping, storage, retail, and product packaging — corrugated or paperboard cartons built to protect goods in transit and present them well at point of sale. Crat Packaging manufactures this packaging at our own US facility for businesses across every industry, from a single custom SKU to full-line packaging programs, with free design support and low minimums.

Key Features of Our Cardboard Boxes

  • Built to your product, not a stock size – dimensions cut to fit your item, reducing void fill and shipping cost.
  • Corrugated or paperboard construction – choose flute strength for shipping durability or SBS stock for retail-shelf presentation.
  • Full custom printing – CMYK and PMS spot-color printing for branding, product info, and barcodes.
  • Wide finishing range – matte or gloss lamination, spot UV, foil stamping, and embossing for retail-facing boxes.
  • Practical add-ons – handles, windows, inserts, and dividers built into the structure, not bolted on after.
  • Eco-friendly options – recyclable kraft and corrugated stock for sustainability-conscious brands.
  • Scales with your volume – from a 100-unit test run to ongoing production runs.

Customization Options

Sizes

Every carton is cut to your product’s dimensions rather than pulled from a generic size chart, which cuts down on wasted space, void fill, and dimensional-weight shipping charges.

Materials

Single-wall corrugated suits most retail and e-commerce shipping; double- or triple-wall adds strength for heavier or fragile goods. SBS paperboard gives a smoother, more printable surface for retail-shelf boxes, and kraft stock offers a natural, eco-forward look.

Printing and Finishing

Flexo printing is cost-efficient for shipping-grade cartons with simple branding; offset and digital printing carry finer detail for retail packaging. Lamination, spot UV, and foil stamping are available for boxes that need to sell on a shelf, not just survive a truck ride.

Add-Ons

Handles make bulky items easier to carry, windows let customers see the product, dividers organize multi-item packs, and hang holes support peg-hook retail display.

Industries & Use Cases

Cardboard boxes from Crat Packaging serve e-commerce brands shipping direct to consumers, retailers needing shelf-ready display cartons, food and beverage companies, subscription box services, movers and storage companies, and manufacturers shipping bulk or industrial goods. If you need a use-case-specific box — for donuts, books, golf clubs, clothing storage, retail display, branded logo boxes, or boxes with handles — see our dedicated pages for those styles below.
