Customization Options
Inserts for Breakage Protection
We cut foam or cardboard inserts with a handle cavity so the mug is cradled on all sides rather than resting loose in an oversized box.
Single vs. Multi-Mug Sets
Layouts range from a single-mug shipper to multi-mug set boxes with divided compartments for gift sets or wholesale bundles.
Display vs. Shipping Boxes
We build either a shippable mailer box rated for carrier handling or a window display box for in-store retail, depending on how the mug will reach the customer.

Why Wholesale Buyers Choose Crat Packaging
Crat Packaging manufactures at our own US production facility, offers free design support and free plate/die setup, and keeps minimums low so growing brands can order exactly what they need. Because breakage is the main risk with mug packaging, we spec the insert cavity around your mug’s exact handle position and wall thickness rather than using a generic foam block.
