When to choose it, and when not to

Choose a tincture box when your product ships in a dropper bottle and you need a slim carton with dedicated panel space for dosage instructions and the labeling this category carries, sized to your exact bottle rather than a generic size.

Choose a wider CBD box instead if your product line includes jars, tins, or a mix of container types beyond a slim dropper bottle, since this carton's slim profile is built specifically around a dropper bottle's narrow shape.

Materials that suit it

Questions people ask

Does the box fit a standard 30ml dropper bottle exactly?

Our standard 1.5 x 1.5 x 4 inch size fits a typical 1 oz (30ml) dropper bottle snugly. Send us your bottle's exact dimensions or the bottle itself and we'll confirm or adjust the fit.

Do you handle the required dosage and compliance wording?

We lay out panel space for whatever dosage and compliance text you provide. Confirming the correct required wording for your product and state is on your side.

Can the box include a spot for a batch number or QR code?

Yes, a printed batch code, lot number, or QR code linking to a certificate of analysis is straightforward to include on any panel.

What's the difference between a tuck-top and an auto-lock bottom for this product?

A tuck-top is the simpler, lower-cost closure. An auto-lock bottom sets up faster on a packing line since the bottom folds into place on its own, so it's worth it if you're filling at volume.

Can I order a few different bottle sizes in one combined order?

Each size runs as its own die and print job with its own 300-unit minimum. Ordering a few sizes together in one combined order is fine once each hits minimum.

Is there a child-resistant option for this box?

Not built into the carton itself. If your product legally requires child-resistant packaging, that typically comes from the bottle's cap rather than the outer box, so let us know if you need help thinking through the full package.

How is a tincture box different from the serum and dropper carton?

Both hold a dropper bottle on 18pt SBS, so the difference is in the panels and the fit. The tincture box is laid out for dosage instructions, batch numbers, QR codes and the compliance text CBD and herbal products carry, as a tuck-top or auto-lock, from 300 units in 10 to 12 business days after proof. The serum and dropper carton is a skincare carton with a glued-in cradle and shoulder collar that keeps the bulb off the lid, 24pt for 100 ml glass, and beauty finishes like soft-touch and foil, from 200 units in 10 to 14 business days. Tinctures and supplements suit the tincture box; serums and face oils suit the dropper carton.
