Cardboard Pencil Boxes are custom-printed paperboard cases for schools, stationery brands, and gift sets that need a tidy home for pencils, pens, and small art supplies. We manufacture them in the US on sturdy folding-carton paperboard and print them in full color to your artwork.
A slide or tuck closure keeps contents secure in a backpack or on a shelf, while a printable lid surface turns each box into shelf-ready branding. That makes these a fit for back-to-school kits, colored-pencil sets, or branded classroom giveaways where the package itself does the marketing.
