In short
Custom kitchenware boxes are printed boxes with protective inserts for mugs, glasses, cookware and utensils, often with a window, in paperboard or corrugated board. 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 kitchenware & mug boxes
Mugs, glasses and ceramics break, and cookware is heavy. Kitchenware packaging has to protect the product through shipping and still present it as a gift, which is how a large share of mugs and glassware are bought.
We make single and set boxes with inserts for mugs, glasses, bottles and cookware, in board matched to the weight, from 10 boxes.
Kitchenware packaging
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| E-flute corrugated | Mugs and glassware | Cushions and prints well |
| B-flute or double wall | Cookware and heavy sets | Strength for weight |
| SBS paperboard | Light items and retail display | Bright print |
What affects the price of kitchenware & mug boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Board. Corrugated for breakables and heavy cookware costs more than paperboard.
- Inserts. Dividers and cradles for each item add material.
- Windows. A window adds a step.
- Size. Sets and cookware need larger boxes.
- Quantity. The unit price falls steeply as quantity rises.
Send your size, quantity and artwork through the quick quote form for a firm price within 24 hours.
Protecting breakables
- Each item should sit in its own cell so nothing touches
- Allow a cushion gap between the item and the outer wall
- A mug box should hold the handle, not just the body
- Test with a drop before a large run
Sizing a mug box
A standard 11 oz mug needs a box of about 4 by 4 by 4 inches, a little more with an insert. Send us the mug and we size the box and insert so it cannot move.
How ordering works
