Custom CDU Boxes For Retail

A CDU going into a retail chain has to satisfy a buyer before it ever sees a customer. That means a defined footprint, a stated assembly time, a load rating and usually a barcode on the outer. Get any of those wrong and the listing stalls in compliance rather than on merchandising.

We build to whatever the retailer's pack spec asks for. In practice that usually means E or B-flute litho laminated, pre-glued, one-motion erection, and an outer case that palletises without overhang on a standard euro or GMA pallet.

Where we add most value is at the dieline stage. Small changes to footprint and header height often make the difference between a unit that fits the till point and one the store manager quietly puts in the back room.

Free structural dieline, load-tested white sample and printed proof. Minimum 50 units, 10 to 12 business days.

Why Brands Order Custom CDU Boxes For Retail

Most brands come to us because an off-the-shelf carton is either half an inch too wide or a shade too shallow. We build the dieline around the product, so it fits first time and looks intentional on the shelf.

You also get the full print area. Front panel for branding, side panels for claims and net weight, and the inside face for a message that only shows at the moment of opening.

Board and Material Options for CDU Boxes For Retail

We print on kraft, coated SBS cardboard, corrugated flute and rigid greyboard. Kraft suits natural and refill lines, SBS holds photographic artwork cleanly, corrugated protects heavier or fragile items in the post, and rigid board is for the price points where the box is part of the product.

All of it is curbside recyclable, and we can quote FSC-certified board or post-consumer waste content if your packaging claims need it.

Printing and Finishing Choices for CDU Boxes For Retail

Artwork goes down in offset CMYK, digital or spot Pantone depending on quantity. Metallic and opaque white inks are available for kraft, where standard process colour tends to sink.

On top of that: matte or gloss lamination, soft-touch film, spot UV, hot foil in gold, silver, rose gold or matte black, embossing and debossing. Two finishes usually do more than four - a soft-touch base with a foil logo is the combination most brands settle on.

Wholesale CDU Boxes For Retail With Low Minimums

Minimum order is 50 units, which keeps a first print run affordable while you test the market. Unit cost drops noticeably at 500, 1,000 and 5,000, so if you know your reorder pattern it is worth quoting two tiers side by side.

Every quote is broken down line by line, and ground shipping across the US is included in the figure you see.

How to Order Your Custom Printed CDU Boxes For Retail

Send your dimensions, board preference, quantity and artwork - or just the product and we will work the sizes out. You get a free dieline and a 3D mockup, revisions until the proof is right, then 10-12 business days in production after approval. Rush schedules are available when a launch date is fixed.
