Why does the tool not show a price?

Because a number here would be a guess, and this site quotes every job individually. Board, finish, add-ons and quantity move the figure enough that any live price would either be wrong or padded. You get a firm written quote against the exact specification instead, usually within 10 hours.

Do I have to use the tool to order?

No. It exists to make the specification complete, which is what speeds up a quote. If you would rather describe what you want in a sentence, the quote form on any product page works just as well.

Is the preview what my box will actually look like?

It shows proportion, color and finish behavior, not your artwork. It is there so you can see whether the dimensions you typed produce the shape you had in mind. For color-critical work, ask for a printed sample on your actual stock before the run.

What if I do not know my dimensions yet?

Send the bottle measurements instead, or the bottle itself. Height with the cap on, width at the widest shoulder and depth front to back are enough for us to work out the carton, and we add the clearance for you.

Can I upload a dieline I already have?

Yes. The last step accepts PDF, AI, SVG, PNG, JPG and ZIP up to 10 MB. If you have an existing dieline we will quote against it directly rather than redrawing it.

Does the 100-box minimum apply here too?

Yes. The minimum is 100 units per design, and each colorway counts as a design because it needs its own plates.

Design Your Box

Work through seven decisions and watch the box change as you make them. At the end you get a written specification — structure, dimensions, board, finish, color, add-ons and quantity — that goes straight to the people who quote it. Nothing here is a commitment, and there is no price attached, because we quote each job against the real specification rather than against a slider.

Pick a structure

This decides more about cost and feel than anything else you choose.

Straight tuck cartonThe retail default. Ships flat, folds in seconds, takes fine print well.Crash-lock base cartonBase pops open and locks in one movement. Worth it above a few thousand hand-filled units.Rigid lift-off boxWrapped grayboard, 1200-1500 micron. Heavy in the hand, ships assembled.Sliding drawer boxPull-out tray in a sleeve. A slower, more deliberate reveal.Magnetic closure boxHinged rigid lid with concealed magnets. Two smaller pairs on wide lids.Cylinder tubeWound tube with separate lid and base. Priced differently from flat cartons.Corrugated mailerE-flute. For anything traveling alone through a courier network.

Set the size

Measure the bottle with the cap on, then add 2–3 mm clearance per side.

Width (mm)Depth (mm)Height (mm)

Choose a board

Compare boards in microns rather than gsm — thickness is what you feel.

SBS folding boxboardBleached, smooth both sides. The retail fragrance default.Kraft boardUnbleached brown with visible fiber. Great for solids, muddies photographs.E-flute corrugatedFluted core, ~1.5mm. Roughly triples crush resistance.Rigid grayboard1200-1500 micron, wrapped in printed paper. The luxury substrate.Wood / veneerEngraved or screen printed. Longer lead time, no photographic print.

Add-ons

Each one is a separate pass on press or in finishing. Pick what earns its place.

Hot foil stampingMetallic. Needs an unlaminated keyline underneath.Spot UVSelective gloss over matte. Highlights a wordmark or rule.Emboss / debossTactile impression. Reads clearly in close-up video.Die-cut windowShows the bottle. Adds a film patch unless left open.Die-cut paper insertImmobilizes the bottle. Recyclable alternative to foam.Ribbon pullSlower reveal. Removes the box from curbside recycling.
