Custom Paper Boxes
Custom paper boxes, in every format your brand needs.
XC Paperbox manufactures custom paper boxes in Foshan, China — ten formats: rigid, magnetic, folding cartons, mailer, drawer, two piece, gift, display, window and corrugated. They are for brands that need low-MOQ packaging for luxury retail, ecommerce, gifting, food, cosmetics and apparel. MOQ starts at 50 units per SKU (100 for two piece, corrugated, display and window). Every box is fully customizable — size, board grade, print, finishes, inserts and closure. White samples ship in 5–7 business days; printed samples in 7–10. Factory direct from our 18,000 m² FSC-certified facility.
