What vitamin boxes have to cope with
Vitamin Boxes hold a tablet bottle or a blister pack, with a Supplement Facts panel that is prescribed rather than designed. That is the starting point for the specification, because lay the Supplement Facts panel out first at its correct size, then design the remaining area. Doing it the other way round is what forces a reprint.
In service they are used for supplement retail and e-commerce, where shelf competition is intense and the required panel takes a large share of the available area.
Regulatory copy and panel space
Regulated products carry information that is not optional, and it competes for the same panel area as the brand design. The panel is almost always the binding constraint, not the structure.
Tell us which disclosures apply before we cut the die and we will block the area on the dieline. Retrofitting a warning panel into a finished layout usually means redrawing it.
The substrate for vitamin boxes
18pt SBS for a bottle carton; lighter board bows visibly over a domed cap.
The options we would consider for this format are below; lay the Supplement Facts panel out first at its correct size, then design the remaining area. Doing it the other way round is what forces a reprint.
- 12pt SBS paperboard
- 14pt SBS paperboard
- 16pt SBS paperboard
- 18pt kraft board
- recycled CCNB board
Printing vitamin boxes
Reserve one full panel for the facts block and its associated statements before any brand layout begins.
Offset lithography, Digital press, Flexography are all available for this format. Run length usually decides which is cheapest: digital removes the plate cost on short quantities, offset and flexo overtake it at volume.
Preparing artwork
Supply artwork on the dieline we send you, with 3 mm bleed past every trim edge and all text held 4 mm inside the fold lines.
Supply a print-ready PDF or vector file with fonts outlined and images at 300 dpi. Our prepress team checks every file before a proof is issued. On a regulated pack the check that matters most is that required copy still holds its minimum type size at final scale.
Sizing vitamin boxes
Sized to the bottle including the cap, commonly 2.5 × 2.5 × 5 in, with headspace so the carton does not bow over a domed closure.
Send the contents rather than a box size. The panel is treated as a design element that can be scaled. It has a prescribed format and minimum type sizes, and neither is negotiable.
Presentation on the shelf
Shelf presence is decided at arm's length, not close up. Contrast, the front panel hierarchy and how the pack sits next to competitors matter more than a finish that only reads in the hand.
If vitamin boxes will be faced on a shelf, tell us the facing orientation so the strongest panel is the one the customer sees.
How an order runs
Tell us what goes inside, how many you need and when. Those three answers are enough for us to specify and price the job properly.
We issue a dieline template, prepress checks your artwork against it, and a dated proof comes back for sign-off. Where your quality system needs it, that approval is recorded against a revision number.
Checking it before you commit
Ask for an unprinted sample if the question is fit, or a printed prototype if the question is colour. They answer different things.
Sample costs are normally credited against the production order.
What buyers get wrong with vitamin boxes
The panel is treated as a design element that can be scaled. It has a prescribed format and minimum type sizes, and neither is negotiable.
The rest of these come up often enough across the format to be worth stating plainly.
- Designing the artwork before confirming which disclosures apply.
- Placing a barcode across a crease, where scanners fail.
- Assuming a previous run can be repeated without checking the artwork revision.
- Leaving no panel headroom for a claim added later.

Specification
Why this spec holds up
The dimensions that matter
Sized to the bottle including the cap, commonly 2.5 × 2.5 × 5 in, with headspace so the carton does not bow over a domed closure.
The failure we design out
The Supplement Facts panel is squeezed below its legal minimum type size to make room for the brand, which makes the whole run unsaleable.
Where it is used
Specified for supplement retail and e-commerce, where shelf competition is intense and the required panel takes a large share of the available area.
The detail that matters
Lay the Supplement Facts panel out first at its correct size, then design the remaining area. Doing it the other way round is what forces a reprint.
This format sits in our wellness packaging range, alongside 1 other made-to-order formats.
Answers
What buyers check on vitamin boxes
Specification, minimums and lead times for vitamin boxes.
How much space does the Supplement Facts panel need?
More than most brands allow for. It has a prescribed layout with minimum type sizes that scale with package surface area, and it usually takes most of one panel. Send us the ingredient list at quoting and we will block it into the dieline at legal size before artwork starts.
Can you supply versioned proofs with sign-off records?
Yes. Where your quality system requires it we issue dated proofs against a revision number and retain the approval record. Ask at quoting so the documentation is built alongside the job rather than reconstructed later.
Can you produce child-resistant closures?
We can produce child-resistant structures with certified closures. Compliance is verified against the regulations in force when your order runs, so send the specific requirement your licence operates under rather than a general description.
Do vitamin boxes arrive flat or assembled?
Flat and glued along one seam, so they pop open on your packing line. That keeps freight cost down considerably compared with a pre-assembled structure.
Do you offer recycled or recyclable options?
Recycled grades are available across most of the substrates we run for folding cartons. Recycled content, kerbside recyclability and certified compostability are three different claims though, so tell us which one you intend to print.
What file format should I send artwork in?
A print-ready PDF or a vector file, with fonts outlined and any raster images at 300 dpi at final size. We supply the dieline to design onto, and prepress checks bleed, safe area and crease clearance before issuing a proof. Send required copy as live text rather than flattened artwork, so we can confirm it holds its legal minimum type size after any scaling.
What is the minimum order for vitamin boxes?
A flat 100 units on any format. Most folding cartons in this range are quoted from 100 units upward because unit cost falls sharply above that, but the minimum exists so you can validate a structure first.
How long do vitamin boxes take to produce?
3 to 5 business days after artwork approval, plus freight. Folding carton runs with applied finishes can take longer because each finish is a separate pass, and we confirm a firm date in writing with the quote.
What do vitamin boxes cost?
Prices start from $0.30 per piece for large-volume orders. For this format the biggest levers are quantity, print route, board grade and how many finishing passes are involved. We quote each element separately so you can see where the money is going. Certified closures and documented proofing are separate line items on a regulated pack, and we quote them separately so they are visible rather than absorbed.
Can I see a sample first?
Yes. We can send a plain unprinted sample so you can check the fit and structure, or a printed prototype for colour and finish. Sample costs are normally credited against the production order. Use the plain sample to confirm the required copy physically fits at legal type size before any design work starts.
Can you match packaging we already use?
Send the current specification or a physical sample and we will quote to match it rather than proposing an alternative you would then have to re-approve internally. Send the existing artwork as well as the sample — on a regulated pack it is usually the panel area given to required copy, not the dimensions, that differs between suppliers.
Where do you deliver?
All 50 US states, the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, on the same timeline everywhere: 3 to 5 business days of production after artwork approval, then 5 to 7 business days in transit. Every run is made to order and shipped directly to your address rather than pulled from stock, so you receive current production rather than whatever has been sitting in a warehouse. Freight is costed separately by weight, volume and destination. Tell us at quoting if the delivery point cannot take a pallet, and we will break the consignment into cartons instead.
