Printed cartons for pet and livestock meds, so tablets on blister strips, dropper bottles, oral syringes, vials, chews. We give the dosing-by-weight panel plenty of room, size the box to your bottle or card, and put inserts in so glass vials aren’t clinking into each other.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
Animal medicine gets read by tired people. A pet owner at the kitchen counter with a cat that won’t sit still. A farmhand in a barn with gloves on. A vet tech counting doses at the end of a long shift. Custom Veterinary Medicine Boxes need to work for all of them, which means clear dosing information, a box that fits the bottle or blister pack properly, and print that holds up to handling.
We print cartons for veterinary pharmaceutical brands, compounding pharmacies, pet supplement companies and livestock suppliers. Whatever’s inside, the box has two jobs: protect the product and make the instructions impossible to misread.
Every format packs differently. Blister cards of tablets go into a slim tuck end box sized to the card, usually with room for a folded leaflet behind it. Oral liquids and dropper bottles want a taller carton, sometimes with a card insert that also holds the oral syringe. Injectable vials are the fussy ones. Glass knocks against glass, so multi-vial packs get a die-cut partition that keeps each vial upright and apart.
Chewable treats and supplements in tubs or pouches can go into a printed outer carton or a display box for the clinic counter. If your vial line needs more structure, our custom vial boxes show partition options in more detail.
Dosing by weight is the most important text on most vet medicine boxes. Give it a panel to itself. A plain weight chart (dogs 10 to 25 lb, one tablet, that sort of thing) in type big enough that someone who left their reading glasses in the truck can still manage it, and a little dog or cat or horse icon if your products sit next to each other on a clinic shelf.
What text legally has to be on there? That’s down to the product and your regulator, so the wording comes from you or whoever handles your regulatory side. We just make it fit and stay readable, and we’ll keep a spot clear for lot numbers and expiry dates if those get stamped on later. No charge for that layout work, and we’ll flag tiny fonts or fuzzy images in your files.
SBS paperboard is the usual choice. Bright white, true color, and it folds nice and crisp if you’ve got a packing line. Exam rooms mean wet hands and disinfectant wipes all day, so we’d laminate (gloss or matte, either’s fine). Design-wise, a lot of vet brands go plain on purpose. White box, one brand color, a different color per strength. Busy designs just get misread. Inks are soy or water based.
Need sizing references? Our guide to medicine box dimensions for pills and bottles covers common carton sizes, and our human-side custom medicine boxes use the same styles if you sell both.
Orders often start around 50 boxes depending on the style, so you can run a small batch for a new strength without overcommitting, and the price per box falls as quantity goes up. You’ll get a digital proof before printing, and a physical sample on request. Production is 10 to 12 business days after approval with free ground shipping in the USA. More cartons are in our pharmaceutical packaging range.
Yes. Many brands keep one layout and change a color band and the strength figure for each version, which keeps costs down.
For more than one glass vial, yes. A paperboard partition keeps vials upright and stops them clinking against each other in transit.
Yes. We leave a clear, unvarnished patch on an end flap so ink stamps or labels stick and stay readable.
