Customization Options
Carton Styles
Tuck-end and reverse-tuck cartons suit most retail products, sleeve boxes work well for slimmer items, and auto-lock bottoms speed up hand-assembly for high-volume packing lines.
Materials
SBS paperboard gives the cleanest print surface for bright, detailed artwork, while kraft paperboard suits brands leaning into a natural or recycled-material story.
Cost Efficiency
Because paper boxes use less material than rigid or corrugated construction, they’re typically the lowest per-unit cost option for brands ordering larger volumes.

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. Paper boxes are the go-to recommendation when a buyer’s main constraint is per-unit cost at volume rather than premium presentation, so we lead pricing conversations for this line with that trade-off in mind.
