Folding clear plastic boxes made to your size, for favors, cosmetics, little toys, candy, that sort of thing. You see the product from every side, and we can print the logo and barcode right on the plastic. Tuck end, pillow or two-piece, and they arrive flat.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
Some products pretty much sell the moment someone sees them. A row of tiny macarons, say, or a doll in her dress, or a fat set of colored pens, and for those our clear plastic boxes do the job of showing it off from every angle while keeping fingers and dust (and the scratches that come with them) off the thing itself.
Favors and candy, mostly, with a lipstick set here and there. Flat when they arrive, folded in seconds by whoever’s packing. What takes a minute of real thought? Picking the plastic, and working out how your print will look sitting on top of the product behind it.
Most of ours are folding cartons. Same idea as a paper tuck end, honestly, just scored and cut from a thin clear sheet instead of board, and people tend to choose between a straight tuck end, a pillow box for favors, a two-piece base and lid, or a cube for something small. Selling on a peg? We’ll add a hang tab on top.
When does clear not make sense? If the product needs a lot of explaining, or only one part of it is worth looking at, we’d usually steer you to a paperboard box with a window cut in it instead, and our window packaging boxes show what that looks like.
Three plastics, mostly. PET is usually the clearest one, a bit glassy, and plenty of areas take it for recycling. PVC costs a little less and folds nicely (though some retailers would rather you avoid it), and PP has that softer, kind of frosted look and bends more, which is handy on a box people open and shut over and over. Tell us the product and where it’s sold and we’ll pick.
Then there’s thickness. A small favor box is fine on thin sheet, but put a candle or a jar of bath salts in a bigger box made of the same stuff and the sides bow in the second someone picks it up, so heavier things get a thicker sheet. The vinyl option has its own page, our clear PVC boxes.
This catches people out.
Red ink on bare plastic? It comes out like a red-tinted window. We lay white down first whenever a logo has to look solid, and some clients get clever with it (white patches behind the barcode and the small print, nothing at all over the bit of the product they’re proud of).
Think about the back panel too. Anything printed there can be read through the front, backwards, unless the product happens to block it, and a two-minute mockup with a printout and some tape will tell you more than we can over email. Dieline and artwork layout? We do that free, then a digital proof lands in your inbox for sign-off.
We can usually start around 50 boxes depending on the style (more boxes, cheaper each). Standard production is 10 to 12 business days after approval, with free ground shipping in the USA. Building gift sets? The gift box sizes guide helps with dimensions, and there’s more in the plastic PVC boxes category.
Only with white underneath it. Skip the white and the colors come out translucent, which actually looks nice on a quiet little logo.
Sure. A printed card insert holds the product still and can carry your text, and the box itself stays fully clear.
They’ll scuff if they rub together, like any clear plastic. We’d keep them flat in their carton until packing day.
Building a full product line? Take a look at clear PVC boxes, custom snap lock boxes and custom auto lock bottom boxes. Everything in this range is listed under plastic PVC boxes.
