Custom Printed Brown Cardboard Boxes

Brown kraft boxes give orders a natural, recyclable, understated look that customers associate with sustainable brands. We print your full-colour logo and artwork onto ready-made brown cardboard boxes in the defined print areas, so you get branded packaging with no tooling costs or large minimums.

Print can look slightly different on brown board than on white, as the kraft surface is darker and uneven, so we recommend avoiding large areas of solid block colour.

Sizes and options

Brown boxes come in Royal Mail PiP sizes and in single wall or double wall grades. Prefer a crisp, bright base? See our white cardboard boxes.

Frequently asked questions

Will my colours print well on brown boxes?

Full-colour printing works on brown kraft, but the darker, uneven surface changes how colours appear and solid blocks can look patchy. For the truest colour we suggest a white box, or order a printed sample first.

Are brown cardboard boxes recyclable?

Yes. Our boxes use recyclable E-flute corrugated board and are FSC approved where applicable, made in-house in the UK.

What sizes do brown boxes come in?

Brown boxes follow Royal Mail PiP sizes with dimensions on each product page. Allow 10-20mm manufacturing tolerance, and order a sample if sizing is critical.

Why choose brown kraft over white?

Brown kraft gives a natural, recyclable look that many brands prefer. Choose white instead if colour accuracy and brightness matter most.

Can I print across the whole box?

No. We print in the pre-defined print areas shown on each product page, not across the entire box.

What is the minimum order and turnaround?

Minimums are low and shown per product page, with dispatch as quick as the next working day when your proof is approved by 12pm.

Can I order a sample first?

Yes. A printed sample, with the fee refunded on a matching order, or a blank sample for a few pence lets you check the box before a full run.
