Tissue box
18pt SBS paperboard, gloss lamination, pop-up dispensing slot200 minimum · 10 to 14 business daysA tissue box is a folding carton built around a standard facial tissue cube insert, with a die-cut dispensing slot on top sized to pull one sheet at a time without the whole stack bunching up. It's a small piece of real estate but a visible one. Hotel rooms, spas, and salons put their branding here specifically because it sits on a counter in view all day. We produce them from 200 units, ready in about 10 to 14 business days after proof.
When to choose it, and when not to
Choose a branded tissue box for a hotel room, spa treatment room, salon counter, or any hospitality space where a plain white tissue box would sit in a guest's eyeline for an hour or more. It's a low-cost way to put a logo somewhere a guest actually looks.
Choose a plain unbranded tissue box instead if it's going somewhere purely functional, like a back-office bathroom or a stockroom. The print cost isn't worth it anywhere nobody's going to see the branding.

Materials that suit it
Questions people ask
Does this fit a standard drugstore tissue cube, or do we need a specific brand?
It's sized to standard cube tissue inserts, so the common commercial-size cube fits. Tell us if you're sourcing a specific brand and we'll confirm the fit before production.
Will the dispensing slot tear or fray with repeated pulls?
The die-cut slot is scored to pop up cleanly and hold its shape through normal guest use. It's the same style of slot used on standard retail tissue boxes.
Can we get this in a rectangular flat-pack size instead of the cube?
Yes, we design both the cube and the flatter rectangular format. Tell us which tissue insert you're using and we'll size the carton to match.
Is a locking bottom or does it need to be glued shut?
It's a folding carton with a locking bottom construction, so no glue is needed on assembly. It ships flat and pops into shape.
Can we order a small batch to test in one property before committing to our whole hotel group?
200 units is our minimum and works fine as a single-property test run before scaling to a larger multi-property order.
How does the finish choice affect price, matte versus gloss?
Gloss lamination is our standard cost baseline. Matte and soft-touch run a bit higher, and we can quote all three so you can compare directly.
