Cardstock Material Options
We work with different types of materials that include cardstock and paperboard options; each of our materials meets the product weight and presentational weights. SBS paperboard offers you a smooth and premium print surface. Our kraft packaging materials bring a natural and earthy look and are popular for artisanal and eco-conscious brands. We also offer recycled paperboard that supports sustainability goals and makes sure durability remains intact. We also offer coated cardstock that adds a polished texture and offers an uncoated cardstock that gives a matte, tactile finish. Also, based on your product’s weight, you can decide to adjust the thickness of your materials, the packaging style can also be chosen, and you can also decide how the final box looks.
Custom Sizes and Box Styles
As we all know, no two products are the same, so we build packaging boxes in exact custom dimensions and structural designs. We offer a range of styles for boxes that includes tuck end boxes, sleeve boxes, window boxes, display boxes, pillow boxes, gable boxes, two-piece boxes, and folding cartons. Each style we offer comes with a different purpose; some offer retail presentation, and some come with extra protective shipping packaging.
Printing and Branding Options
We offer custom printing that turns ordinary packaging boxes into a brand experience. We offer prints for logos, product details, brand colors, promotional messaging, and custom artwork. This printing can be done inside and outside of the packaging box. Depending on your order volume and designs, we offer different techniques for printing that may include offset printing, digital printing, and screen printing that match your packaging’s exact needs.
Premium Finishing Options
We offer a range of finishes that can change the texture and visual appearance of your packaging box. You can choose from the range of matte lamination for a soft, refined look, gloss lamination for a shiny and vibrant look, or soft touch for a smooth and tactile feel. We offer spot UV and foil stamping as well, that highlights the specific packaging designs while doing embossing and debossing. We also offer window patching that lets customers see the product before they even open it.

Artwork Preparation Guide
At BoxesGen, our Artwork Preparation Guide helps ensure your custom packaging design is print-ready for high-quality results. To get started, submit vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF) in CMYK color mode, with a 1/8 inch bleed and 300 DPI resolution. Convert all text to outlines and keep it at least 1/4 inch from the edges. Review your proof to ensure accuracy before submitting. Following these steps will guarantee your design is perfectly printed on your custom boxes.
Cut Line (Black Lines):
The cut line is the outline that marks where your custom packaging will be trimmed. It is typically represented by a solid black line in your artwork file.
Perforation (Dotted Black Lines):
Perforation lines, shown as dotted black lines, indicate where the box will have small, evenly spaced holes for easy tearing or separation. These are often used for tear-away sections.
Bleed Line (Green Lines):
The bleed line is the area extending beyond the cut line, usually marked with a green line in your artwork. Typically, a 1/8 inch (0.125") bleed is required to prevent any unwanted white borders.
Safety Margin (Dotted Green Lines):
The safety margin, marked by dotted green lines, is the area around the cut line where important elements (such as text, logos, or graphics) should be kept clear.
Crease Line (Red Lines)
The crease line, marked by red lines in your artwork, indicates where the box will be folded during production.
What Is The Difference Between Cardstock And Paperboard Boxes?
Cardstock is a thicker, more rigid version of paper, while paperboard is the broader material category that boxes are made from. In practice, both terms describe the same lightweight, printable packaging material used for cardstock boxes.
Can I Get A Sample Before Placing A Bulk Order?
Yes, samples can be arranged so you can check the material, print quality, and structural fit before committing to a full production run.
What printing methods are available for cardstock boxes?
We use offset, digital, and screen printing depending on your design and order volume, so your logo, colors, and artwork come out sharp and accurate.
Are custom cardstock boxes eco-friendly?
Cardstock is recyclable, and we also offer biodegradable and responsibly sourced options like recycled paperboard for brands that want a greener packaging choice.
Can Cardstock Boxes Be Used For Shipping As Well As Retail Display?
Yes, cardstock boxes work well for both. Sturdier options suit protective shipping, while printed, finished styles are built for shelf-ready retail presentation.
