Material Colors

Please note: If you have any white in your design, select any of our white corrugated options. We are unable to print white ink on kraft.

Standard White

The most popular white material in packaging. This uncoated liner has a slight off-white appearance with excellent writability.

Premium White

Our finest white material with a smooth, sheen coating to make your graphics pop.

Premium White Printed With Gloss

Our finest white material paired with a sleek high gloss UV ink to elevate your design even further. Please only choose this material if you're ordering printed boxes.

Kraft

Brown liner board that will give your design a rustic, natural look. Please note: Colors print different on Kraft than when printed on Standard or Premium White.

  • Will my box arrive pre-glued?

    • Yes, we glue all boxes in house. All you have to do is erect the box, and apply tape to close it.

  • What is the difference between a shipperBOX™ and an Open Top Half Slotted Container?

    • A shipperBOX™ has panels on the top and bottom that close the box. An Open Top Half Slotted Container doesn't have panels on the top leaving it open.

  • Can I order a lid for this box?

    • Yes you can. If you would like to order a lid and Half Slotted Container together, please request a custom quote and one of our structural designers will design a set custom for your product.

  • How do I design this box?

    • Here are a few tips: You want to make sure you do not put any artwork on your glue tab. Glue is unable to adhere to UV inks. Also, do not put any crucial artwork you want your customer to see on the bottom panels, as these get hidden once the box is assembled.
