Custom Crayon Boxes are folding cartons built for crayon makers, art-supply brands, and educational kits that want printed packaging holding a set on a retail shelf. They are made from SBS white or kraft paperboard and custom-printed in full color to match your brand.
A tuck-end carton keeps small wax sticks contained and lets buyers see your artwork the moment they pick up the pack, so colorful printing carries the sale. The same shape works whether you sell a starter four-pack or a classroom multi-count box, and inside printing turns the flap into a place for usage tips or a brand story.

Crayon Carton Manufacturing at Volume
Crayon packs live in small hands, so the tuck flap has to keep working after dozens of opens. Internal width is calculated against stick diameter multiplied by count, with a small tolerance so crayons neither jam nor rattle. Four, eight, and twelve stick counts are the usual restaurant and classroom formats.
| Crayon boxes | Stick count tier guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Sampling batch to confirm internal width against your crayon diameter. |
| 500 | Restaurant kids packs in a single count and one artwork. |
| 1,000 | Two stick counts share tooling while artwork changes freely. |
| 5,000 | School season inventory produced in one coordinated lot. |
| 10,000+ | Promotional distributor depth, billed at from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Planning bands rather than promises: in-house eligible carton runs approximate 7 business days, and specialty imported specifications can require close to 12 weeks. Free dieline drafting sizes the box to your exact stick dimensions. For pricing, send stick diameter and length, crayons per box, print artwork, and total quantity.
