A custom perforated box is designed to allow for the packaging and shipping of goods. It features a customized perforation pattern for easy access to contents.
The box is constructed from corrugated E-flute board or kraft paper, showcasing die-cut perforations on the exterior panel.
It has a fixed-wall design with a closed-bottom design, making sure there is no motion of the product.
These packaging boxes can be custom-sized and have the latest printing options, including matte and gloss with soft-touch lamination.

Custom perforated boxes are made from either corrugated or kraft-based material by incorporating a die-cut perforated line or venting pattern for tear-open and venting purposes.
The board consists of kraft material scored along a perforated line, which can be torn apart without using any blades.
Unlike conventional sealed cartons, custom perforated cartons let users open them along a specific tear line or let air pass through vents, depending on the packed product.
The location and size of the perforation are based on the packed product, while a free 3D sample from us helps validate the tear lines before mass production begins.
You can get custom perforated boxes in the following types to meet retail, food, and shipping requirements. Each box type features perforations in different locations to suit its intended use.
The die-cut opening strip is attached to the top crease, letting the receiver open the box without using any object. Online store brands use this type of packaging.
The perforated back wall sits behind the die-cut window and allows tearing off the panel without taking the whole lid off. Suitable for retail and gifting.
Small holes perforate the sides to let air circulate inside. Farms, supermarkets, and transportation companies use this design.
The small holes in the cover release moisture and steam from baked products, and are used in bakeries.
A perforated tab at the side or bottom of the package tears off easily and serves as an entry coupon. Best for subscription brands.
A small flap at the front of the package tears off easily to reveal a sample packet inside. Brands that offer trial sizes use this design.
Perforated boxes are available in standard or customized sizes to suit products. Size selection depends on the product’s dimensions as well as the perforation design.
| Size | Dimensions | Products |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 6 in x 4 in x 2 in | Samples, coupons, small retail items |
| Medium | 10 in x 8 in x 4 in | Bakery items, produce, subscription boxes |
| Large | 14 in x 12 in x 6 in | Bundled produce, multi-item shipments |
You can customize the dimensions and shapes of the perforations, along with printing options, to meet a product’s tearing or ventilation requirements.
The depth of the perforations and space between them, including the number of panels, varies depending on the product being packed.
A corrugated E-flute board accommodates a clean perforation line while still providing crush resistance during transportation.
Kraft paper provides an uncoated, ink-receptive surface that can be torn down along a scored perforation line.
Cardstock forms smaller perforated boxes, providing lighter construction for coupon panels and sample sleeves.
A corrugated E-flute board lines interior inserts, providing strength around items in the perforated area.
We print custom perforated boxes using the latest printing methods, printing the artwork around the tear line to keep the perforations clear. The artwork is checked against the dieline to make sure no artwork ever prints over the scored area.
CMYK printing uses four different colors of ink to create a wide range of colors.
Pantone premixes ink so that one color stays constant in every production run.
Digital printing does not use printing plates, making it suitable for smaller print orders.
Offset printing uses printing plates to transfer ink onto the substrate.
Custom perforated boxes include surface finishes that provide visual appeal and structural add-ons that work alongside the perforation.
A laminate is applied to the printed panel, outside the perforation area. The matte finish eliminates shine while the gloss finish provides a glossy surface.
A velvet-textured laminate covers the external panel surface, providing a soft-touch feel away from the tear line.
A raised, glossy spot UV finish covers the logo or wordmark printed over a matte finish.
A raised or debossed design of a logo, pattern, or text over the panel without additional printing.
Foam, cardboard, or molded pulp inserts keep products positioned securely inside the box, away from the perforated portion.
A die-cut window combined with a perforated flap displays the product before the flap is detached.
Perforated tabs die-cut in the side or base panels tear away as coupons, reorder cards, or entry forms.
