Cardboard Cereal Boxes
Custom cardboard cereal boxes in kraft, white or recycled board. Printed cartons built around your bag, with eco-friendly finishes and low minimums.
Cardboard Cereal Boxes
A cereal carton is cardboard, and the type of board decides how it looks, how strong it is and how easy it is to recycle. Cardboard cereal boxes from Custom Box Supply are made from folding carton board in white, kraft or recycled stock, printed to your artwork and cut to fit your bag.
If you are searching for cereal box cardboard to make a box, a school project or a prototype, tell us what you need. We supply printed and blank cartons for brands, and plain boards for prototypes.
Cardboard Options for Cereal Boxes
- White SBS: bright white for vivid colour and photography.
- Kraft: natural brown board for organic and eco brands.
- Recycled board: recycled content for a lower environmental footprint.
- Aqueous coating: protects print while keeping the carton easy to recycle.
- Plain or blank cartons: for prototypes, tests and small batches.
Who Orders Cardboard Cereal Boxes
Cereal and granola brands that want recyclable packaging, eco-minded brands choosing kraft, prototype makers, and companies who need blank boxes for private label runs. Many customers start with a blank carton and move to printed boxes later.
Design Tips
- Ask for recycled or FSC-certified board if it matters to your brand. Confirm availability when you request a quote.
- Avoid plastic windows if you want a fully recyclable carton; use a die-cut opening instead.
- Choose aqueous or matte coating over heavy lamination.
- Keep your inner bag in mind: the carton holds the bag, and the bag keeps the cereal fresh.
