Chipboard Boxes
Printed Chipboard Boxes that Look Premium and Work Hard
Packaging is the first impression on the shelf and the last touch before purchase. Custom chipboard boxes (also called paperboard or folding cartons) give you crisp print, clean edges, and that retail-ready look customers want.
At Brown & Pratt, we turn paperboard into brand magic. From cosmetics and candles to supplements and specialty foods, our chipboard cartons balance structure and style with precise die-cuts, vivid color, and finishes that feel as good as they look. You get reliable fit, fast assembly, and consistent quality at scale.
Whether you need a simple tuck-end carton or a full custom dieline with a window insert, we’ll help you design the box that protects your product, elevates your brand, and respects your budget. Premium is the vibe but practical is the plan.
Note: Chipboard boxes are designed as product or retail cartons and should be shipped inside an external corrugated shipper or master carton. They are not intended for standalone parcel shipping.
Retail-Ready Detail
Sharp scoring, clean folds, and accurate registration. Your cartons arrive press-perfect and ready to wow on the shelf.
Finishes that Close the Sale
Matte, gloss, soft-touch, spot UV, foil, and emboss/deboss options help your design stand out without blowing up costs.
Built for your SKU
From slim tuck-ends to auto-lock bottoms and sleeves, we tailor the style, thickness, and insert to your product’s weight and shape.

Choose the Right Chipboard Carton
- Reverse/Standard Tuck End (RTE/STE): This is the go-to retail carton. Clean front panel for graphics, ideal for light to medium weight products, such as cosmetics, supplements, and small electronics.
- Auto-Lock/Crash Bottom: A stronger base that pops into place for faster packaging. Great for slightly heavier items, such as jars, candles, and small bottles.
- Seal-End Cartons: Minimal materials with maximum effect. Add a branded cap over primary packaging or trays for quick SKU differentiation.
- Pillow Boxes & Gable Styles: Gift ready shapes for accessories, favors, and boutique retail.
- Windowed Cartons: Add a PET or plastic-free film window to showcase the product while protecting it on the shelf.
- Inserts & Partitions: Paperboard or corrugated inserts to keep delicate products centered and secure.
Customize with Confidence
- Board Calipers: Chipboard is thicker and sturdier than paper but does not have the fluted channels of corrugated. Common chipboard calipers from 14pt-24pt SBS/CUK, with heavier options as needed. We’ll match caliper to weight and handling needs
- Direct Print: 1-4 color, spot colors, or Pantone/PMS matching (preferred for production runs). CMYK available for short-run digital printing
- Coatings & Finishes: Aqueous (AQ), gloss/matte UV, soft-touch, spot UV, foil stamping, and emboss/deboss
- Die-Cut & Features: Hanging holes, tear strips, thumb notches, crash locks, dust flaps, and tamper-evident features
- Proofs & Samples: PDF artwork proof provided for approval prior to place-making and press. For sizing concerns, request an unprinted sample for print verification. Digitally printed samples available at added cost
- Food & Beauty Options: Food-safe coatings, grease-resistant interiors, and insert solutions for jars, droppers, and compacts
- Sustainability: Recyclable substrates with recycled content available,; FSC chain of custody on request.
