We are an offset printer, rather than a digital or print-on-demand service, so we must impose a minimum order quantity (MOQ). We’ve set ours as low as possible, at 100 units. But with offset printing, the higher the quantity you order in a single print run, the lower the cost-per-unit.

Custom Retail Paper Box Styles

Choose from these eight different styles of retail paper boxes.

Straight-Tuck-End-Box

We make these tuck end boxes with a front face, a back, two side panels, and openings at both ends. The openings close with flaps which fold over one another and “tuck in”.

Tuck End Hanging Tab Box

As the straight tuck end box, but with the addition of a handy hang tab which allows the boxes to be hung up or suspended on a suitable stand, hook, or other display system. Functional and attractive, these boxes are very popular in several retail contexts.

Tuck Top Auto Bottom Box

The bottom of this box style is designed to automatically fold and close for rapid assembly. The lid is hinged and folds to tuck in on one side of the top of the box. Flat-packed for shipping and needing no special skills or equipment to assemble, these are a very effective and economical packaging solution.

Seal End Box

Seal end boxes, as their name suggests, have sealable, sticky flaps for extra security. Otherwise, they are very similar to other tuck end boxes. The high-security closure makes them especially popular in the pharmaceutical and food industries, for example, although they have a wide range of uses.

Bag box with auto bottom lock

Bag boxes fold up like a packet tapering to a top-end handle for easy carrying. Our bag boxes are very popular with food, cosmetics, gift, and other retailers. They’re cost-effective, handy, and good-looking. They can also be flat-packed for transit.

Gable Top with Auto Bottom Box

Gable top boxes with an auto bottom are widely used in the food and catering industries as well as making beautiful gift boxes, for example. The complex folds—which need hand assembly—result in a robust carrier box complete with a handle above the top of the box. Despite the complexity of the design, they’re easy to put together and can be stored and transported flat.

Box sleeve

Box sleeves, also called “wraps” and “belly bands” are a simple but highly-effective solution to branding and upgrading your basic packaging without the investment of a fully customized box. A single sheet of printed paper, made to measure, that wraps around all or part of your product or product package, they add instant appeal and attraction to any item.

One piece box
Custom One Piece Box

A one-piece box—as the name implies—is a box that builds up from a single piece, usually with a hinged lid which folds over the top of the box and with two sets of flaps which tuck in to secure the lid in position. These are great, versatile little boxes and because they’re printed and cut in a single sheet, inexpensive to produce.

Retail Paper Box Printing Options

At QinPrinting, we use eco-friendly soy ink for colors of unmatched brightness and vibrancy.  Box printing options are:

CMYK offset printing

CMYK offset printing  — which uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black to create the whole spectrum, and is the most cost-effective, popular, and practical solution for most retail box color printing needs.

Pantone color printing

Pantone color printing—also a form of offset printing, but used to obtain 100% faithfulness in color reproduction. A little more expensive than CMYK.

UV printing

UV printing—used for printing onto gold, silver, black and other rich colored paper.

Silk printing
Silk printing

Silk printing—not suitable for photographs but ideal for printing logos, text, and simple graphics on black or colored paper.

Custom Retail Paper Box Special Finishes

We print all our retail paper boxes with your custom branding, logo, product images and information, and so on. But we can customize them further with a range of specialized techniques.

gloss lamination

Gloss lamination adds a shiny, smooth look that elevates the vibrancy and color of your carton’s printed surface.

matte lamination

Matte lamination gives your boxes a charming, more subtle finish than gloss. It also tends to soften the colors on your printed surface, which can be the perfect effect for certain products.

soft touch lamination

Soft touch lamination is a relatively new technique. The result is similar to matte lamination, but the surface has a delightful, almost velvet feel which speaks of quality and luxury.

varnish

Varnishing your carton adds a transparent, tough, protective surface. It looks great and is a good option for boxes that will be in storage for longer periods or spend more time in transit.

gold foil stamping

Foil stamping adds a metallic effect to lettering or other design elements. Gold, silver and bronze are the most popular choices, but we can use pigments to create a foil stamp in almost any color you’d like.

emboss

Embossing is a process by which we raise the surface of an area of the box to make it literally stand out. 

deboss

Like embossing, only the surface is pressed inward to creative a concave impression rather than standing out.

spot UV

Rather than coating the whole box, you can highlight a specific area with spot UV. We apply a clear polymer coat to the specified area — which could be a product name, a logo, or an image — which really makes it “pop” and catch the eye. Suitable only for surfaces treated with matte or soft-touch lamination.

laser foil
Laser foil

This is state-of-the-art technology. Using lasers, we can adhere and build metal foil on the surface of your box, creating a stunning, metallic effect on lettering, logos, or other design elements — or even the whole box!

Retail Paper Box Design Tips and Templates

We strongly recommend that you ask us for our pre-made box design template to make the process easier and more reliable. It’s completely free.

box artwork tip

Export your files as vectors in PDF format for the best results. Our recommended software option for box design is Adobe Illustrator. Convert your color space from RGB to CMYK.

box artwork tip

If you can’t deliver vectors — say, if you’re exporting bitmaps from Photoshop — then make sure the resolution of all graphics is at least 300 DPI. With vectors, you needn’t worry about resolution, but all other images must have a high definition to tolerate resizing without becoming fuzzy and “pixilated”. All images must be embedded and correctly sized.

box artwork tip

You’ll need to add a “bleed zone” of 3 mm around all your dielines—the limits at which your box will be cut. A bleed is an extended zone at the periphery of your photo, artwork, or other image, which falls outside the area that your finished panel will cover. Once we’ve printed your cartons, we’ll cut them to the exact size needed for your chosen format. This “bit extra” gets cut off and makes sure that the finished image fills the sheet with none of it being lost.

box artwork tip

If you’ve chosen special finishes such as foil stamping, spot UV, or embossing and debossing, you’ll need to create separate layers for each process as they are done separately to printing.

Our Environmental Commitment

We actively encourage reuse and recycling of all our products. We can use recycled or FSC-certified materials on request. FSC-certified means materials from responsibly managed, sustainable forests.
