Why Bethlehem Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Our Cardboard Boxes
Custom Cardboard Boxes | Full-Color Printed Packaging from 100 Units
Custom cardboard boxes are the most widely used packaging format in retail and e-commerce — combining affordability, printability, and sustainability into a single structural solution. Manufactured from SBS (solid bleached sulfate) or CCNB chipboard, cardboard boxes deliver crisp full-color print quality on a bright white surface that showcases brand graphics with exceptional fidelity.
Material Grades
We offer 14pt chipboard for lightweight retail products, 18pt for standard consumer goods, and 24pt for premium or heavier applications. FSC-certified and recycled-content board options are available for sustainability-committed brands.
Printing & Finishing
Every cardboard box is printed with full CMYK color using offset lithography for high-volume orders or digital printing for short runs. Finishing options include gloss lamination for vivid color pop, matte lamination for a sophisticated understated look, soft-touch lamination for a velvet tactile experience, spot UV for selective gloss highlights, and foil stamping in gold, silver, or custom metallics.
Applications
- Retail product packaging for consumer goods
- Food packaging with food-safe coatings and FDA-compliant inks
- Cosmetic and beauty product boxes
- Subscription box inserts and mailer components
- Gift packaging and seasonal packaging
Why Cardboard Boxes Dominate Retail Packaging
Cardboard boxes offer the ideal combination of structural rigidity, printability, and sustainability that modern retail demands. The white SBS surface accepts full-color CMYK printing with photographic precision, transforming a simple box into a brand communication tool that works on shelf, in transit, and in unboxing moments.
Food-Safe and Eco-Certified Options
Our cardboard boxes are available with FDA-compliant food-safe coatings for direct food contact applications including bakery, confectionery, and dry goods packaging. FSC-certified board demonstrates your brand's commitment to responsible forestry — increasingly important to eco-conscious consumers.
