About our cereal boxes
Seal-end and tuck-end cereal cartons with vivid front-panel print. At Box Sense every cereal box is produced in our own facility, so the dieline, print, die-cutting and finishing are handled by one team. That means fewer surprises, faster turnarounds and a single point of contact from the first proof to the delivered pallet.
Structurally, this product is based on our folding cartons format. Straight tuck end, reverse tuck end, auto-lock bottom and crash-lock cartons on SBS, C1S and kraft board. The most versatile retail packaging format. It is most often ordered by brands in food & beverage.
