In short
Custom cereal boxes are tall printed paperboard cartons, usually with glued seal ends, that hold cereal or granola in an inner bag and carry bold artwork on the front panel. Box Sense makes them from 10 boxes, with production in 8–12 business days after proof approval. Shipping is free to any address in the USA.
About our cereal boxes
The cereal box is one of the best-known formats in packaging: a tall front panel that works like a poster, and a side panel for nutrition. Small cereal and granola brands use it for retail, and marketers use short runs as promotional, influencer and novelty boxes.
We make cereal boxes in full and mini sizes with glued or tuck ends, printed in full color, from 10 boxes.
Cereal box options
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Coated recycled board (CRB) | Retail cereal cartons | Economical, grey back |
| Food-grade SBS paperboard | Most food cartons | Clean white, food-contact suitable |
| Kraft food-grade board | Natural and artisan brands | Organic look |
What affects the price of cereal boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- End style. Glued seal ends suit machine packing; tuck ends suit hand packing and short runs.
- Size. Family-size boxes use more board than mini boxes.
- Finishes. Spot UV, foil or embossing on the front panel add cost.
- Quantity. Retail cereal cartons are very economical at volume; short promotional runs cost more per box.
Send your size, quantity and artwork through the quick quote form for a firm price within 24 hours.
The inner bag
The carton gives the cereal its shape and branding; the inner bag keeps it fresh. We size the box around your bag and fill weight, allowing for settling so the box does not look half empty.
Labeling
Packaged food sold at retail needs FDA labeling, including the statement of identity, net quantity, ingredients, allergens and Nutrition Facts where required. We leave room for it and print the content you supply.
How ordering works
- Send your specs. Product size, quantity and artwork (or just a logo). A packaging specialist replies with a firm quote within 24 hours.
- Approve the proof. We send a dieline and a 3D proof so you can see the box before it is made.
- Production. 8–12 business days in our own facility, or 5 days on rush.
- Delivery. Boxes ship flat to you anywhere in the USA, free of charge.
