Cardboard Cigar Boxes are custom paperboard cartons for cigar brands and tobacconists that want an affordable, printable alternative to wood. Made from sturdy SBS or kraft paperboard in full-color CMYK, they hold singles, samplers, or full bundles with a clean, branded face.
Lightweight paperboard cuts your shipping weight and cost compared with rigid or wooden boxes, while a snug fit keeps cigars from shifting in transit. A printable inside flap gives you room for tasting notes, origin details, or a thank-you message, which makes a sampler pack feel curated rather than generic.
