Tissue Boxes are die-cut paperboard cartons with a built-in dispensing opening, custom-printed for tissue, facial wipe, and napkin brands that want their pack to stand out on a shelf or countertop.
The oval or contour die-cut opening dispenses one sheet at a time while the printed panels keep your branding visible the whole time the box sits out. A retail tissue brand can run seasonal artwork across the top and sides, turning an everyday item into a repeat-purchase visual cue in the home.

Printing & Finishing

Tissue Carton Runs and Their Details
The dispensing slot does the work nobody notices. Slot length and the slit pattern in the poly film decide whether one sheet lifts cleanly or three come out together. Board grade holds the carton square while sheets are pulled, and a flat top carton behaves differently from a cube, so pick the format before the artwork is laid out.
| Cartons | Dispensing guidance |
|---|---|
| 50 | Pull trials with your own tissue stack loaded. |
| 500 | A hospitality trial across a few rooms. |
| 1,000 | Cube and flat formats cut in one order. |
| 5,000 | Film application and print settle per carton. |
| 10,000+ | Hotel group supply from about $0.44 per unit at volume. |
Two paths determine the date here: cartons handled on equipment we run may be done in about 7 business days, specialty imported film can add up to about 12 weeks, both entered plainly as planning ranges, not guarantees. A digital proof of the carton and slot position is agreed first. Send sheet count, stack height, carton format, slot length, and yearly volume.
