Custom white boxes are clean, bright cartons and mailers built from white-coated SBS paperboard, left blank or lightly branded for a minimal, premium look that suits beauty, food, apparel, and retail brands wanting a crisp neutral canvas. Packaging Vista prints white boxes to your exact size in any style - tuck-end cartons, mailer boxes, two-piece apparel boxes, rigid setup boxes, and white shippers - with a free custom dieline and 3D mockup. Order them plain for fast fulfillment or printed in full CMYK and Pantone with subtle accents like spot UV, foil, or soft-touch lamination. With a 100-box minimum and no die, plate, or setup fees, your white packaging ships within 8 to 10 business days with free US delivery.

White box styles
The structure sets the look, the protection, and the cost. These are the white box styles we make most often:
White tuck-end cartons
The everyday folding carton with flaps that tuck closed top and bottom (straight or reverse tuck). White tuck-end boxes fold flat for shipping and storage and suit cosmetics, supplements, candles, and small retail goods that need a clean, printable face.
White mailer boxes
A self-locking corrugated box with a fold-over lid built for e-commerce shipping and a premium unboxing. A bright white interior and exterior makes the reveal feel clean and intentional - see mailer boxes for sizes and styles.
White two-piece and apparel boxes
A separate lid lifts off a matching base for a clean product reveal - the classic, retail-friendly setup used for apparel, gift sets, and accessories. White gloss two-piece boxes are a staple for shirts, lingerie, and folded garments.
White rigid boxes
Thick chipboard wrapped in white paper for a sturdy, non-collapsible feel on luxury cosmetics, jewelry, and electronics. A clean white wrap paired with a foil or deboss logo reads understated and premium - see rigid boxes.
White shipping boxes
White-faced corrugated shippers and cartons protect products in transit while keeping a tidy, on-brand exterior. They pair well with auto-lock or snap-lock bottoms for heavier items and a clean printed shipping mark.
Materials and finish
White boxes start with white-coated stock, and the coating choice sets how the surface prints and feels:
- White SBS (solid bleached sulfate) is a bright, premium virgin-pulp paperboard that gives the cleanest white face and the sharpest print.
- C1S (coated one side) has a smooth white printable face with a plainer inside - a cost-effective fit for tuck-end cartons.
- C2S (coated two sides) is coated front and back for crisp printing inside and out, ideal when the interior shows during unboxing.
- Matte vs gloss white lamination lets you choose a soft, minimal matte surface or a bright, reflective gloss.
- Soft-touch lamination adds a velvety hand-feel that makes a plain white box read distinctly high-end.
White reads premium because it looks clean, modern, and uncluttered, leaving the product and a single logo to do the talking. If you want a natural, eco-forward feel instead, compare kraft boxes.
Custom white boxes with your logo
You do not have to choose between clean and branded. We print white boxes to your exact artwork in full CMYK and Pantone-matched color, or keep the box plain and add a single restrained mark - spot UV, foil stamping (gold, silver, or color), or a blind emboss or deboss - so your logo reads premium without cluttering the white. Prefer fully blank? We supply plain unprinted white boxes for fast fulfillment, all from the same free dieline and 3D mockup, with no die, plate, or setup fees.

Pricing, minimums, and turnaround
White box pricing depends on the size, style, stock, finishes, and order quantity, and the per-box cost drops as volume rises. There are no die, plate, or setup fees, the minimum is 100 boxes, and standard production runs 8 to 10 business days after proof approval, with rush available. Plain white boxes skip the print proof stage, so they often move faster than printed runs. Every order includes a free dieline, 3D mockup, and free US shipping. Sourcing clean packaging stateside?

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get plain blank white boxes, or do they have to be printed?
Both. We offer plain unprinted white boxes for fast fulfillment, and you can move to printed white boxes whenever you are ready, all from the same dieline. We keep your structure on file so blank and printed reorders match exactly.
What stock are your white boxes made from, and how white is the finish?
They are made from bright white SBS paperboard with a smooth, clean coated surface, ideal for a crisp minimalist look. The white face also gives you a perfect base for sharp, true-to-color printing if you add it later. For corrugated shippers we use a white-faced board.
Can I add a minimal logo or finish without losing the clean white look?
Definitely. A subtle spot UV, blind emboss or deboss, or a foil-stamped logo keeps the box looking clean and premium while adding tactile branding. Matte or soft-touch lamination also enhances the minimalist white aesthetic.
Should I choose white boxes or kraft boxes?
Choose white for a clean, modern, premium look with sharp, true-to-color printing - ideal for beauty, apparel, and retail. Choose kraft for a natural, earthy, eco-forward feel. They serve different brand stories, so pick by your product image; see our kraft boxes if you want the natural look instead.
What sizes and dimensions can I get?
Any size - white boxes are made to your product dimensions, given as length x width x depth. If you are unsure, send a sample or product specs and we will size the box and supply a free dieline and 3D mockup to confirm the fit before production.
How much do custom white boxes cost?
Cost depends on the box size, style, stock, finishes, and order quantity, and it falls as volume increases. Because every job is custom, we quote per project rather than list a flat price - but there are never die, plate, or setup fees, and the minimum is just 100 boxes. Send your dimensions and quantity for an exact, no-obligation quote.
What is the lead time and minimum order on white boxes?
The minimum is 100 boxes with no die or setup fees. Plain white boxes skip the print proof stage and often move faster, while printed white boxes follow our standard 8 to 10 business-day turnaround after proof approval. Rush production is available if your launch date is tight.
