Custom CBD Packaging Guide: Boxes, Materials, FDA Compliance & Design
Custom Packly Editorial Team
August 7, 2026
CBD packaging is one of those projects where a beautiful box can still be completely wrong.
A tincture can look premium and leak because the dropper material is incompatible with the carrier oil. A gummy pouch can have excellent graphics but the wrong barrier properties. A carton can leave the printer looking perfect and then fail at fulfillment because the batch code will not adhere to a varnished panel. A brand can also spend heavily on rigid packaging only to discover that its formula, warning copy or state distribution plan changes three months later.
That is why I do not start a CBD packaging project by asking, “What box do you like?”
I start with the product.
The formula, primary container, sensitivity to light and oxygen, sales channel, states where the product will be sold, child-resistance requirements, number of SKUs and intended price point should all influence the packaging architecture.
That product-first approach is also how we approach custom CBD packaging at Custom Packly.
Good CBD packaging should protect the formula, control leaks and movement, carry the right information, survive the intended distribution channel and communicate trust before the customer ever opens it.
Looking premium comes after those jobs are solved.
What Custom CBD Packaging Really Needs to Do
Custom CBD packaging is the combination of containers, labels, cartons, pouches, inserts and shipping packaging designed around a specific CBD product.
In practice, I think about CBD packaging at three levels.
The primary packaging is what directly contains the product. That could be a glass dropper bottle, jar, pouch, tube or airless pump.
The secondary packaging surrounds that primary container. A folding carton holding a tincture bottle is a common example.
The shipping packaging protects the saleable product during fulfillment and transit. That may be a corrugated mailer or shipping carton.
Treating those as one system prevents a lot of mistakes.
A beautiful folding carton cannot compensate for a leaking dropper.
An amber bottle cannot compensate for a carton with unreadable required information.
A premium retail carton cannot be expected to survive parcel distribution without appropriate shipping protection.
The right question is not simply, “What is the best CBD box?”
It is:
What packaging system does this exact CBD product need?
Start With the CBD Product, Not the Box Style
Every CBD format creates a different packaging problem.
Light exposure matters more for some formulas. Moisture and oxygen matter more for others. Glass introduces breakage risk. Oils create adhesive and closure compatibility problems. Gummies need barrier performance. Retail packaging needs panel space. Ecommerce introduces impact and movement.
That is why I rarely recommend one universal CBD packaging specification across an entire wellness range.
CBD Tinctures and Oils
For tinctures and oils, the primary container usually deserves more attention than the carton at the beginning of the project.
Amber, opaque or otherwise light-protective glass can help protect light-sensitive formulations. Borosilicate glass is frequently considered where chemical inertness and a premium presentation are important.
The closure matters just as much.
Oil-based formulations can be hard on some elastomers. If the carrier formula is aggressive toward a standard dropper bulb or sealing component, swelling, softening and leakage can follow.
For certain oil formulations, chemical-resistant dropper components such as fluorinated NBR may be worth evaluating.
Labels also need to be chosen around what happens when the product is actually used.
A paper label may look beautiful during photography but become stained, loosen or peel when CBD oil repeatedly runs down the bottle. An oil-resistant BOPP film with an appropriate permanent adhesive is often a more practical option for an oil-heavy product.
Then comes the secondary carton.
Straight tuck and reverse tuck cartons work well for many lightweight tincture bottles. Heavier bottles may justify a stronger base construction. An insert should be considered when the bottle has enough clearance to move, strike the walls or rattle during handling.
For a glass CBD tincture bottle, controlling movement inside the carton can matter more than simply choosing thicker paperboard.
CBD Gummies and Edible Formats
Gummies introduce a different problem.
They are vulnerable to moisture, oxygen and temperature conditions, so flexible packaging must be evaluated for barrier performance rather than chosen because “Mylar looks good.”
Stand-up pouches can make sense where a lightweight, resealable format is appropriate. Multi-layer flexible films can provide useful oxygen and moisture barriers while giving the brand a large printable surface.
Where child resistance is required, the actual closure system matters. A child-resistant zipper or closure needs to be selected and documented as a functional packaging component. Printing “keep away from children” on a standard pouch does not make the pouch child-resistant.
There is also a major federal regulatory issue CBD brands must understand. Packaging compliance does not make an otherwise unlawful product lawful. The FDA’s current position regarding CBD in foods and dietary supplements must be considered separately from the physical packaging specification.
For this reason, brands selling ingestible products should have their product classification, claims and distribution plan reviewed by appropriate regulatory counsel before committing to a large packaging run.
CBD Creams, Balms and Topicals
Topical CBD products often behave more like skincare packaging projects than traditional cannabis packaging.
That is a good thing.
Airless pumps can help limit repeated exposure to air for sensitive formulas. Glass jars can create a premium presentation for balms and creams. Flexible tubes work well where controlled dispensing and portability matter.
What I watch closely is migration.
Oily balms and creams can find their way into threads, caps and carton surfaces. An inner liner, induction seal or appropriate closure system may be necessary depending on the product.
The outer carton should then be sized around the real filled container, including the cap, pump or lid, not simply the nominal fluid capacity.
CBD Flower and Pre-Roll Products
Flower and pre-roll packaging has different protection priorities.
Airtightness, aroma retention, physical protection and applicable child-resistant requirements may all influence the structure.
Glass jars can create strong barrier and presentation characteristics for appropriate products. Tubes can protect individual formats. Rigid slider structures can provide more crush resistance and a controlled opening experience where the application justifies them.
The important thing is not to use paperboard as though it were a primary moisture barrier when the product actually needs a sealed primary container.
CBD Pet and Specialty Wellness Products
CBD-related pet and specialty wellness products need even more care because different regulatory frameworks can apply depending on the product.
From a packaging standpoint, the same product-first rules still matter.
Confirm the formula, primary container, dispensing method, likely leak points, required information and distribution environment before designing the outer carton.
Do not let a generic “wellness packaging” template make those decisions for you.
How I Choose Between Folding Cartons, Rigid Boxes, Pouches and Mailer Boxes
There is no premium packaging hierarchy where rigid boxes automatically sit at the top.
Each structure solves a different problem.
Folding Cartons for Scalable Retail Packaging
For individual tinctures, creams, jars and many lightweight wellness products, folding cartons are usually the most rational retail structure.
They give you:
SBS paperboard is one of my preferred starting points when clean printing and premium retail presentation matter.
A folding carton can look extremely high-end when the dimensions are tight, typography is disciplined and one or two finishes are used intelligently.
It does not need to be excessively thick.
Rigid Boxes for Products That Can Support the Cost
Rigid packaging makes sense when the product economics justify it.
I consider it for premium bundles, gifting, high-end wellness collections and products where opening experience forms a meaningful part of the value proposition.
Rigid board gives the packaging visual weight and structural presence that folding paperboard cannot fully replicate.
But there is a trade-off.
Rigid boxes usually cost more, take up more storage space and can complicate fulfillment. A $25 tincture does not automatically become a luxury product because it sits inside a large setup box.
The product, price and brand position have to justify the structure.
Flexible Pouches When Barrier and Efficiency Matter
Flexible pouches are particularly useful when the product needs a lightweight format with strong storage efficiency.
They can work well for appropriate dry or ingestible formats where the selected film structure provides the required barrier performance.
Their advantages can include:
Their limitation is physical protection.
A pouch does not protect a fragile glass product from impact simply because the laminate is strong.
Mailer Boxes for Direct-to-Consumer Fulfillment
For ecommerce, the packaging job changes.
A folding carton may be perfect on a store shelf but completely unsuitable as the shipping container.
Corrugated mailer boxes, often using E-flute or another suitable corrugated construction, can provide stronger transit protection while still allowing a branded opening experience.
I like mailers for:
The outside does not always need to be visually excessive. Sometimes the smarter design investment is on the inside, where the customer actually experiences the brand.
Material Compatibility Matters More Than Most CBD Brands Realize
CBD packaging materials should be selected around the formula and distribution environment, not only appearance.
This is where a lot of expensive problems begin.
Protect Light-Sensitive Formulas
Clear glass is visually attractive, but it is not automatically the right choice for a light-sensitive cannabinoid formulation.
Amber glass, opaque containers and other UV-protective approaches can reduce light exposure.
The outer packaging contributes too.
An opaque folding carton around a light-sensitive bottle provides another layer between the formula and retail lighting.
If stability matters, test the complete packaging system rather than assuming the bottle alone solves the problem.
Pay Attention to Oils, Adhesives and Elastomers
CBD oils can expose compatibility problems quickly.
I want to know:
These questions sound small until thousands of bottles begin leaking or labels start lifting in distribution.
Choose Paperboard According to the Job
For secondary cartons, material selection should start with print requirements, weight, structure and presentation.
White SBS paperboard works particularly well when the artwork needs bright color, sharp text and a polished retail appearance.
Kraft can work when a natural substrate supports the identity, but brands need to understand that the brown surface changes how some colors reproduce.
Corrugated board is better suited when transit strength matters.
Rigid board is appropriate when substantial presentation is part of the product proposition.
A thicker material is not automatically better packaging.
The most effective specification is the one that does the required job without adding unnecessary cost, bulk or storage.
FDA-Compliant CBD Packaging: What That Phrase Should Actually Mean
This is an area where CBD marketing gets sloppy.
FDA-compliant packaging should not be confused with an FDA-approved CBD product.
They are not the same thing.
Custom Packly can manufacture FDA-compliant packaging and provide supporting certification and documentation for applicable packaging specifications. But the CBD brand still needs to determine whether its finished product, ingredients, claims, labeling and distribution are lawful for the way it intends to sell them.
That distinction matters.
FDA Compliance Does Not Override CBD Product Rules
At the federal level, CBD remains a complicated category.
A compliant box cannot make a prohibited therapeutic claim legal.
A food-contact declaration cannot turn a CBD edible into an FDA-approved product.
And an FDA-compliant packaging material does not mean the FDA has reviewed or approved the CBD brand itself.
Serious brands should separate two questions:
Is my packaging material and construction appropriate and properly documented?
Is my finished CBD product legally marketable with this formula, classification, labeling and set of claims?
Both matter.
Ask for Documentation, Not Marketing Language
If a packaging supplier says a material, closure or structure meets a particular requirement, ask what documentation supports that statement.
Depending on the application, documentation may include relevant food-contact information, material specifications, technical data and test reports.
For child-resistant systems, claims should be supported by appropriate testing evidence for the actual system where required. In the United States, child-resistant testing can involve the protocols in 16 CFR § 1700.20.
Do not accept “child safe” as a substitute for test data.
The same principle applies to FDA-compliant packaging. Ask the supplier to show the supporting documentation that relates to the material or packaging specification being proposed.
Leave Space for Compliance Before Designing the Front Panel
One of the most common mistakes I see is designing the hero artwork first and attempting to squeeze everything else into whatever space remains.
Reverse that process.
Identify the information that may need to appear on the packaging first.
Depending on the product and applicable requirements, that may include items such as:
Not every item belongs on every CBD product, and required content can vary according to product category and jurisdiction.
That is exactly why I prefer a compliance map before final artwork.
Do Not Treat One Type-Size Rule as Universal
You will often hear a “1/16-inch rule” repeated in packaging discussions.
Some FDA labeling requirements do use minimum character or type-height thresholds, but the correct size depends on the statement, product category, panel size and applicable regulation.
I do not recommend taking one type-size rule and applying it blindly to every CBD carton.
Build the artwork around the actual requirements that apply to the product.
Child-Resistant and Tamper-Evident Packaging Solve Different Problems
Child-resistant packaging restricts access.
Tamper-evident packaging provides visible evidence that a package has been opened or interfered with.
Those are different jobs.
A seal that tears when opened may provide tamper evidence but still be easy for a child to access.
A child-resistant push-and-turn cap may restrict access without providing the same visible tamper signal as a shrink band, induction seal or other tamper-evident system.
Some CBD products and jurisdictions may require one, the other or both.
When an access-controlled outer carton is appropriate, our child-resistant boxes can be engineered around controlled opening formats, insert retention and usable warning space.
But I would never decide child resistance from appearance alone.
The actual product, closure system, applicable market rules and supporting test documentation need to drive the decision.
One Small Artwork Detail Can Ruin an Entire Production Run
CBD packaging often includes variable data.
Lot numbers, batch information, expiration dates and QR codes may be applied after the main packaging has already been printed.
That means the printer and co-packer need to talk to each other before the finish specification is approved.
I have seen brands laminate or varnish every square inch of a carton and then discover that the fulfillment facility's coding system cannot print cleanly onto the finished surface.
The batch ink smears.
The code rubs off.
Then thousands of otherwise beautiful cartons need labels, manual correction or replacement.
The fix can be extremely simple.
Leave an unvarnished knockout area where the variable code will be applied.
Before approving artwork, ask the co-packer:
A $0 design decision can prevent a very expensive operational problem.
Test QR Codes on the Physical Package
A QR code that works on a PDF is not necessarily a QR code that works on the package.
Curved bottles can distort it.
Gloss can create glare.
A code positioned too close to an edge may wrap around a corner.
An undersized quiet zone can make scanning inconsistent.
Before approving production, I like a simple test.
Print the artwork at 100% scale.
Wrap it around the actual bottle, carton or jar.
Scan it using several phones.
Check it under normal retail lighting.
Then test it again from slightly different angles.
It is one of the cheapest pre-production checks a brand can do.
Build the Dieline Around the Product and the Information
The packaging dieline is where structure, branding and compliance finally meet.
The wrong way to approach it is to download a random box template, start designing and hope the final product fits.
The better process is:
Measure the product.
Choose the structure.
Account for the insert.
Confirm the required information.
Then build or refine the dieline.
If you are setting up artwork for the first time, our article on what a packaging dieline is explains cut lines, crease lines, bleed and safe areas. You can also start with the free Custom Packly dieline generator to preview common structures from your dimensions.
For CBD packaging specifically, I pay close attention to:
Artwork should not be treated independently from structure.
My Strongest Design Opinion: Stop Making CBD Look Like Cannabis
Most CBD packaging becomes weaker the moment the design team decides it has to “look CBD.”
The usual result is predictable.
Green everywhere.
Cannabis leaves.
Earth-tone gradients.
Too many icons.
Multiple fonts.
Natural-health clichés.
Legal copy fighting with the logo for attention.
I think the stronger direction is almost the opposite.
The best modern CBD branding can borrow visual discipline from premium skincare, clinical wellness, high-performance supplements and luxury spirits.
That does not mean every CBD package should be white and minimalist.
It means the design should communicate the brand position first, not the ingredient stereotype.
Premium CBD Packaging Needs Restraint
Luxury is not created by adding every available finish.
A good premium CBD carton may need nothing more than:
That can feel far more expensive than a box covered in foil, UV, gradients and oversized graphics.
My rule is simple:
If the finish does not strengthen the hierarchy, texture or brand recognition, remove it.
Where to Spend Money and Where to Save It
Brands frequently spend on the parts customers do not value and economize on the parts they actually touch.
For a growing CBD brand, I would rather see a well-designed standard paperboard carton with one excellent tactile finish than an unnecessarily thick box with mediocre artwork.
Standard 18pt SBS is often more than capable of producing a premium retail result for appropriate products.
Matte lamination combined with selective spot UV is one of my favorite examples.
Matte creates the quiet background.
Spot UV gives one intentional element contrast.
It can feel sophisticated without the cost and storage burden of a rigid setup box.
If you are deciding among finishing methods, our breakdown of matte, gloss, spot UV, foil and embossing goes deeper into where each finish makes sense.
Do Not Overspend on Inserts Either
The insert should solve a packaging problem.
It should not exist simply because premium boxes “are supposed to have foam.”
For many CBD bottles, custom die-cut paperboard or molded pulp can provide excellent retention without the cost or bulk of a heavy foam insert.
The geometry is more important than the material name.
You want to control:
We have a separate comparison of foam, cardboard and molded pulp packaging inserts if you are choosing among those systems.
A Real CBD Packaging Failure That Required More Than a New Box
One wellness project we worked on looked like a branding problem when it arrived.
It was actually a materials problem.
The product was suffering from spoilage concerns, leaking bottles and compliance friction during distribution review.
The brand originally used clear glass bottles, standard dropper components and paper labels.
I did not recommend redesigning the graphics first.
We changed the packaging system.
Clear glass was replaced with amber borosilicate glass to improve light protection.
The standard rubber dropper component was upgraded to chemical-resistant fluorinated NBR because the oil formulation was contributing to swelling and leakage.
Paper labels were replaced with oil-resistant BOPP film.
The carton artwork was reworked so required information had more usable space and the brand's regulatory team could confirm type size against the applicable rules.
An unvarnished coding window was also added so variable batch data could be applied without smearing.
The result was much more significant than a visual refresh.
According to the client's project data, leakage was eliminated, shelf stability improved and the revised packaging cleared distributor review, supporting placement in more than 150 retail locations.
The lesson I took from that project was simple.
When CBD packaging fails, the answer is often not “make the box thicker.”
You need to find the actual failure point.
Project Zenith: Designing CBD Packaging for Premium Wellness, Not Cannabis Retail
One of my favorite projects involved a premium water-soluble nano-CBD sublingual product.
I will call the project “Zenith.”
The intended customer was not shopping for traditional cannabis products.
The brand wanted placement in boutique fitness studios, high-end spas and premium wellness retailers.
That changed the design language immediately.
We wanted the product to feel closer to a clinical performance supplement or high-end skincare line than a stereotypical CBD brand.
The Primary Packaging
The formula was highly light-sensitive, so the bottle specification prioritized UV protection.
We used a frosted UV-protective glass dropper bottle with a brushed-metal child-resistant closure treatment.
The visual result was quiet, clinical and substantial.
The Label
The label used a textured synthetic stock with an oil-resistant barrier treatment.
Subtle copper detailing added warmth without turning the package into a foil-heavy luxury cliché.
The Outer Structure
Instead of a standard tuck carton, the presentation used a rigid drawer format wrapped in deep navy uncoated paper with restrained geometric detailing.
A molded fiber tray held the bottle securely.
The important part was not that it was “luxury.”
It was that every component had a job.
The bottle protected the formula.
The label resisted oil.
The insert controlled movement.
The drawer improved presentation and assembly.
Solving the Compliance-Space Conflict
The project also had a difficult information-density problem.
The brand's distribution and compliance teams needed room for extensive disclosures, directions and state-specific information without turning the outside into a wall of text.
We therefore treated information architecture as part of the physical structure.
Required on-pack information remained where the brand's compliance review required it. Supplementary disclosures and instructions were organized into a separate folded information piece housed within the structure so the exterior hierarchy could remain disciplined.
A dedicated uncoated coding area was also built into the inner structure for variable production information.
That meant production data could change without compromising the main visual system.
According to the client's internal results, the redesigned format cleared its targeted distribution reviews, reduced fulfillment time by roughly 35% and recorded no bottle fractures across the first 10,000 reported DTC orders.
What I liked most was not the premium appearance.
It was that the design solved regulatory communication, protection, packing speed and shelf presence at the same time.
That is what custom packaging should do.
Launch With Minimum Viable Compliance, Then Upgrade
One of my strongest opinions about startup CBD packaging is that brands customize too much, too early.
A new company does not need a custom-molded bottle, elaborate rigid box, bespoke foam insert and five specialty finishes simply to prove it has a serious brand.
That money usually has better uses at launch.
The formula may change.
The dosage may change.
The state distribution plan may change.
A retailer may request different packaging.
The branding may evolve after real customers begin buying.
If you invest too heavily before product-market fit, the packaging becomes inventory you are afraid to change.
The Smarter Launch Setup
For many new CBD products, my preferred launch strategy is:
That can look completely custom to the consumer without locking the brand into expensive primary-container tooling.
When I Start Considering More Premium Printing
Once a SKU is consistently moving several thousand units per production run, it becomes worth reviewing production economics again.
In my experience, somewhere around 5,000 to 10,000 units per SKU can be an important conversation point for evaluating offset printing, more deliberate Pantone control and selective premium finishing.
That is not a universal threshold.
Structure, printer, number of SKUs, artwork and production setup all affect the economics.
But volume should earn complexity.
Complexity should not be purchased in anticipation of volume.
When Custom Inserts Become More Valuable
Retail distribution changes the equation.
If a product begins moving through dozens of stores, rattling bottles, inefficient shelf dimensions and inconsistent pack-out become bigger problems.
That is when custom-fit paperboard or molded inserts can provide a meaningful operational return.
A good insert does not only make unboxing prettier.
It can speed packing, improve orientation, reduce breakage and create repeatability across fulfillment teams.
When Bespoke Primary Containers Make Sense
Custom-molded glass is much further down the road.
I would reserve bespoke bottle tooling for a brand with stable demand, proven product-market fit and a real reason for the container shape to become part of its brand equity.
Until then, stock primary containers with exceptionally well-executed labels and secondary packaging usually provide a much better balance between differentiation and financial flexibility.
One Master Carton Can Simplify a Multi-SKU CBD Line
CBD ranges often contain many strengths, flavors or formulas.
That creates an inventory problem.
If every SKU has its own box, bottle, insert and finish specification, packaging complexity multiplies quickly.
One strategy I like is standardization.
If several SKUs use the same physical container, consider whether they can share:
Then differentiate the variants using controlled artwork areas, labels, sleeves or another practical variable system.
For example, one master carton structure can establish the brand while a wrap-around label or designated print element identifies strength and flavor.
The goal is not to make every product identical.
The goal is to avoid paying for structural differences that the customer will never value.
How to Control CBD Packaging Cost Without Making It Look Cheap
Cost reduction should start with engineering, not with visibly degrading the packaging.
I usually look for savings in this order.
Right-Size the Packaging
Oversized boxes use more board, require larger inserts and can increase shipping volume.
Measure the real product.
Standardize Components
Using one bottle format, one insert platform or one carton size across compatible SKUs can simplify procurement considerably.
Use Material Intelligently
Do not jump to thicker board when standard paperboard already performs correctly.
Spend on One Visible Finish
Matte plus a controlled spot UV element can do more for perceived quality than an expensive material nobody notices.
Avoid Unnecessary Foam
Use paperboard or molded pulp where the protection requirement allows.
Separate Retail and Shipping Jobs
Do not turn every retail carton into a shipping box.
Use the correct secondary or tertiary packaging for the channel.
Scale Production Only After the Specification Is Proven
Large quantities reduce unit economics only when the packaging will actually be used.
Cheap obsolete inventory is still expensive.
What I Need to Know Before Recommending CBD Packaging
When a CBD brand comes to me asking, “What packaging should we use?”, I cannot answer responsibly from the product name alone.
I want five sets of information.
Formula and Material Compatibility
Tell me:
A low-viscosity tincture and a thick balm should not start with the same packaging assumptions.
Primary Container and Physical Dimensions
I want the actual container measurements, ideally in millimeters.
That includes:
The nominal “30 mL bottle” description is not enough to engineer a carton.
Distribution Model
How will the product actually reach the customer?
Retail shelf?
DTC shipping?
Subscription?
Distributor cases?
A mix?
That determines how much of the protection job belongs to the retail carton and how much belongs to the shipper.
SKU and Supply Chain Architecture
I want to know:
Those answers can change the production strategy significantly.
Compliance and Artwork Readiness
Finally:
That conversation should happen before the finishing specification is locked.
Do Not Approve CBD Packaging From a 3D Mockup Alone
A mockup is useful for appearance.
It does not prove fit, coding performance, QR scanning, closure performance, label resistance or product compatibility.
Before a serious run, I like to validate as much of the real packaging system as practical.
That may involve:
A CBD box does not succeed on screen.
It succeeds after filling, packing, shipping, stocking and opening.
How to Choose a CBD Packaging Supplier
A packaging supplier should be able to discuss more than print.
If every conversation begins and ends with size, quantity and logo color, I would keep looking.
For CBD projects, I want a supplier that can discuss:
Most importantly, the supplier should be willing to tell you when you are over-engineering the package.
That advice can save more money than a small reduction in unit price.
What to Send for an Accurate CBD Packaging Quote
The fastest way to get a meaningful quote is to send useful specifications.
Prepare:
If you do not know the right box style yet, do not guess.
Send the product and container information first.
A good packaging team should help narrow the structure from there.
The Best CBD Packaging Is Usually More Disciplined Than More Complicated
CBD packaging has matured.
The brands that still depend on green leaves, generic “natural” graphics and oversized luxury boxes are competing using visual shortcuts.
The stronger approach is more deliberate.
Protect the formula.
Choose materials that tolerate the product.
Control movement.
Use the right closure.
Plan compliance space before artwork.
Make variable data easy to apply.
Test the QR code.
Design around the real sales channel.
Spend on the details customers notice.
Standardize what they do not.
Then let typography, material and restraint create the premium impression.
That is how CBD packaging moves from a decorated container to a functioning packaging system.
For brands planning a new launch or correcting an existing packaging problem, Custom Packly can help with structure, materials, inserts, print setup and FDA-compliant packaging specifications with supporting documentation. US orders can start from 100 boxes, which also makes it possible to validate a packaging direction before committing to much larger inventory.
When the product dimensions, quantity and artwork direction are ready, send them through the custom packaging quote. The more we know about the formula, container, sales channel and compliance requirements, the more accurately we can engineer the packaging around the product instead of forcing the product into a generic box.
