Printed boxes for disposable, surgical style and fabric face masks, with a perforated pull-out opening so masks come out one at a time. Sized for packs of 10, 25 or 50. Cardstock, kraft or corrugated, with low minimums and free US ground shipping.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
Face masks are light, soft and easy to crumple, and they’re usually pulled out of the box one at a time by someone in a hurry. Custom face mask boxes are designed around that. A perforated opening on the top lets the first mask come out without the rest following, and a box sized close to the stack keeps the ear loops from tangling into a knot.
We print these for clinics, dental offices, PPE distributors, salons and brands selling reusable fabric masks. The box is often the only thing with your name on it once the masks are in a drawer, so it’s worth getting right.
The most common style is a tuck end box with a perforated oval or slot on the top panel. The customer presses it in, tears it out, and pulls masks from the opening. It works much like a tissue box, and our tissue box dimensions guide covers the same thinking about openings and fill.
Get the perforation strength right. Too weak and it pops open in transit. Too strong and people rip the whole lid trying to get in. We test this on the sample stage, and it’s one of the reasons we suggest asking for a physical sample before a big run. For more dispenser shapes, our cardboard dispenser boxes show other ways to do it.
Disposable three-ply masks fold flat to about the size of a playing card stretched long, and fifty of them stacked are only a few inches high. Fabric masks are thicker and bulkier, and kids’ masks are smaller. So the count drives the height, and the mask type drives the length and width.
Leave a little room above the stack. If the box is packed tight, the first mask is jammed against the lid and comes out bent or torn. Send us a stack of your masks at the count you’ll sell and we’ll size the box around it.
Most face mask boxes are SBS cardstock, printed full color, since it gives a clean, white, hygienic look. Kraft suits reusable or cotton masks with a natural brand. Corrugated is for shipping cartons holding multiple retail boxes. We print with soy-based or water-based inks, and kraft and corrugated are usually recyclable anyway.
Here’s a small thing people forget. Boxes get shoved sideways into supply cupboards, so put the count and size on the front and on at least one side panel too, otherwise somebody’s pulling out six boxes to find the 50 pack. The back is where the mask type, materials, directions for use and a barcode go. Keep claims about protection levels to what your supplier’s own paperwork supports. We print what you give us, but we won’t add those claims for you. Finish? We like matte here. Fewer fingerprints, and it looks nice and clinical.
The dieline and artwork setup is free (our team does it), then a digital proof comes your way for sign-off. Minimums are low, often around 50 boxes depending on the style, and yes, the per-box price drops the more you order. After you approve the proof it’s normally 10 to 12 business days in production and then free ground shipping to wherever you are in the USA. Related styles live in pharmaceutical packaging or the wider dispenser packaging range for related styles.
Not until it’s punched out, the perforated panel stays shut till then. After that it’s open, so if dust worries you we’d go with a small oval or a slit instead of a big hole.
Yes. Kids’ masks are smaller, so we size the box down and you can use brighter artwork for that range.
Disposable masks, cardstock, it’s bright and looks clean. If yours are cotton and reusable and your brand’s more earthy, kraft.
Brands ordering these often look at custom medicine boxes, custom vial boxes, custom condom boxes and custom veterinary medicine boxes as well. You can see the full range in pharmaceutical packaging.
