E-liquid boxes
18pt SBS500 minimum · 10 to 12 business daysAn e-liquid box is a slim folding carton sized for a single dropper or unicorn bottle, laid out with panel space for the child-resistant packaging notice and nicotine warning this category requires. We produce them on 18pt SBS from 500 units in 10 to 12 business days after proof. A standard 30 ml bottle fits a 1.25 by 1.25 by 4.5 inch carton; a 60 ml bottle runs closer to 1.5 by 1.5 by 5.5.
When to choose it, and when not to
Choose an e-liquid box for a single dropper or unicorn bottle where the job is a slim, upright carton with room reserved for the required nicotine warning and any batch or age-restriction text. It's built narrow on purpose, since most e-liquid bottles are slim cylinders and a loose-fitting carton lets the bottle rattle and the label scuff.
Choose a vape cartridge box instead if you're packing a cartridge or pod rather than a bottle of liquid, since that carton is shaped around a flatter, shorter item. Choose a hemp product box if the product is a jar, pouch, or larger bottle outside the slim dropper format.

Materials that suit it
Questions people ask
Do you handle the required nicotine warning and compliance wording?
We reserve the panel space and lay it out to whatever text and warning you provide. Confirming the correct wording, warnings, and any batch or age-restriction language for your product and state is entirely on your side. We don't advise on compliance content.
Can the box be tamper-evident?
Yes, a perforated tear strip across the tuck flap is a common add that shows visibly if the box has been opened before purchase. It adds one step and no real lead time.
Does the bottle need to be held in place inside the box?
For a snug-fitting carton sized close to the bottle's actual footprint, no extra insert is needed. If there's slack because you're running one carton size across a couple of bottle shapes, we add a thin die-cut collar to keep the bottle centered.
Can I run the same box for different nicotine strengths with different labels?
Yes, you can print one box structure and vary only a small printed patch or sticker for strength, rather than running separate full artwork for each strength. Ask us about that approach if it fits your line.
What's the difference between this and a vape cartridge box?
Shape, mainly. This box is a tall, narrow cylinder shape built for a liquid bottle. A cartridge box is shorter and flatter, built around a cartridge or pod rather than a bottle.
What is the minimum order for e-liquid boxes?
500 units, and reorders carry the same minimum. Lead time is 10 to 12 business days after you approve the free digital proof.
