A Beverage Box is a custom-printed paperboard folding carton for drink brands, subscription boxes, and beverage startups that need clean, branded packaging for bottles, cans, or single-serve sets. It's made from sturdy SBS or kraft paperboard and printed edge to edge in full color.
Because the carton folds flat for shipping and locks square at pack time, you save storage space and speed up your fulfillment line. The printable surface carries your logo, flavor story, and ingredient callouts where buyers see them first. Drink brands reach for the Beverage Box when launching a new flavor, building a sampler set, or shipping direct-to-consumer orders that need to arrive looking sharp.

Printing & Finishing
Beyond full-color CMYK, you can add a PET window so the product shows through, a gloss laminate for a vivid wet look, or a matte finish for a calmer, premium feel. Spot UV and foil draw the eye to a flavor name or logo. Inside printing lets you add a thank-you note or QR code customers find on opening.

Multipack Beverage Carton Runs by Pack Count
A beverage carton carries real weight, so the board specification follows the filled load rather than the artwork. A four pack of glass bottles needs more caliper than a twelve pack of slim cans. Wrap style, basket carrier and fully enclosed carton each behave differently in a cooler: wraps show more of the can, enclosed cartons print better across all panels.
| Cartons ordered | Pack count and board guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Drop test quantity with your filled containers. |
| 500 | One pack count in a single carton style. |
| 1,000 | Four pack and six pack versions on shared tooling. |
| 5,000 | Wrap and enclosed styles compared in production. |
| 10,000+ | Distributor scale from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Set the schedule at about 7 business days for in-house eligible carton production and as much as about 12 weeks where specialty imported board applies. Neither bracket is contractual. Continental US delivery carries no freight charge, which eases cartons that are heavy for their value.
Include container dimensions, filled weight, pack count, carton style and cartons per season.
