Why we started
Custom Cardboard Boxes started with a straightforward observation: most Australian brands were settling for generic packaging that looked nothing like their product. Off-the-shelf boxes got the job done, but they did nothing for brand presentation. And many custom packaging suppliers set minimum orders so high that smaller brands couldn't justify the commitment.
We set out to fix both problems. Today we manufacture fully printed, custom packaging for brands across Australia, from independent businesses placing their first 100-unit run to established retailers ordering at wholesale volume. Every order gets the same attention to print quality and structural accuracy.
What we manufacture
Our range covers most standard packaging formats used in retail, e-commerce, food service, cosmetics, and gifting. Custom mailer boxes are among our most-ordered products, widely used by e-commerce brands who want every delivery to feel considered. Custom tuck end boxes and custom folding boxes are practical choices for retail shelf packaging: they assemble quickly, hold their shape in fixtures, and come in a wide range of sizes. For products that hang in-store, custom hang tab boxes with a die-cut tab keep them neatly displayed on retail hooks. Custom belly bands add a layer of branding to bundled products and gift sets without the cost of a full enclosure.
For cosmetic and personal care brands, we produce custom candle boxes, custom sleeve boxes, and custom product sleeves. A sleeve or product sleeve gives skincare and beauty products a clean, layered presentation on shelf or in gifting. Custom candle boxes protect the product while communicating brand quality from the outside in.
For food businesses including cafes, food trucks, and quick service restaurants, we manufacture custom burger boxes, custom fries boxes, and custom popcorn boxes. Food packaging has to work under service conditions, so we use food-safe materials and build cartons to handle grease and handling without collapsing. Branded food packaging reinforces your business identity from the counter to the customer.
Materials and printing
We work across four materials: corrugated board for mailer boxes and shipping-grade packaging, rigid board for premium cosmetic and retail cartons, kraft for natural and eco-positioned brands, and standard cardboard for most retail carton formats. All materials support full-colour CMYK printing. Finishing options include matte laminate, gloss laminate, and soft-touch laminate. If your brand uses Pantone colours, we can accommodate spot colour printing for accuracy across your range.

Minimum orders
Our minimum order is 100 units. That number reflects a deliberate choice: small and growing brands deserve the same access to quality custom packaging as large retailers. A cosmetic startup testing a new product line should be able to order 100 custom candle boxes, not 5,000. A cafe launching branded food packaging should be able to start with what they actually need.
As your business grows and order volumes increase, unit pricing improves. For brands that order regularly, we can discuss holding stock and releasing to your schedule.
Quality and delivery
Every order starts with a digital proof and mockup stage. You see exactly how your custom boxes will look before production begins, review the print and structure, and approve it before anything is manufactured. After production, orders are inspected before dispatch. If something doesn't meet the spec, we sort it before it ships.
Free shipping applies to all orders within Australia. Standard production completes in 8 to 10 business days from proof approval. If you have a specific deadline, get in touch and we'll advise on what's possible.
