Popcorn Boxes are custom-printed paperboard cartons for cinemas, carnivals, concession stands, and movie-night events that serve popcorn and want a box people photograph. Each box is custom-printed in full color and folds flat for easy storage between rushes.

A bold printed box makes the snack feel like part of the show, and a flat-pack design keeps your back room tidy until you need them. Print a retro stripe for a classic theater look, a logo run for a venue, or a themed design for a one-night event, and the box does the styling for you. The open top and tapered shape make popcorn easy to grab and easy to refill.

Popcorn Boxes Materials & Specifications

  • Material: SBS or kraft paperboard, 300-400gsm
  • Style: open-top folding carton, ships flat
  • Printing: full-color CMYK, print inside and outside
  • Finishing options: matte, gloss, or soft-touch lamination, spot UV, foil, emboss/deboss
  • FSC option: FSC-certified paperboard available

Best Used For

  • Movie theaters, drive-ins, and home cinema rooms
  • Carnivals, fairs, and concession stands
  • Birthday parties, weddings, and themed events
  • Branded snack service for venues and promotions

Printing & Finishing

Add gloss lamination for a bright classic look, soft-touch lamination for a premium feel in hand, or spot UV to make a logo catch the light. Foil and emboss/deboss push a venue or event design further, and printing inside the box rewards the customer at the bottom of the bucket.
