Vitamin and supplement boxes are printed folding cartons that hold a bottle, jar, blister strip or sachet set and carry the brand, the facts panel and the directions. TBPB makes them custom with no minimum order, and if you bring a written quote for the same specs, we beat it.
Match the carton to the container
The carton depends on what is inside. A bottle of capsules needs a tall, narrow carton, usually a straight tuck end or reverse tuck, sized to the bottle’s diameter and height. A blister strip or a stick-pack set fits a flatter, wider box. A dropper bottle fits a smaller, taller carton, and our dropper bottle boxes are built around that shape. A multi-pack or a monthly subscription often uses a larger carton with a divider, holding several bottles or blister cards.
This is the point where many supplement brands go wrong. They design the artwork first, then discover the bottle is 2 mm too wide. Get the container in hand, measure it, and let the carton follow.
Sizing a supplement carton
Measure the widest point of the bottle, which is often the cap or the shoulder, not the body. Measure the full height including the cap. Add about 1/8 inch of clearance per side. For blister cards, measure the stack of cards and the leaflet together if you fold a leaflet inside.
If you include a printed leaflet or dosing card, tell us. It changes the carton depth, and a carton that is slightly too thin makes the leaflet buckle the panels.
The facts panel is the layout
A supplement carton has a lot of mandatory copy to fit: the facts panel, ingredient list, directions, storage notes and any warnings. In practice that copy decides the panel layout. Plan the largest panel for the facts and put your brand story on the others. A clean back panel with legible type sells better than a crowded one, and small text that cannot be read in the store is its own kind of mistake.
We print the artwork you supply. Wording, claims and facts-panel format are your responsibility, so confirm them with your own regulatory adviser before artwork is final. We do not write or approve regulatory copy.
One closure question comes up often: tamper evidence. A tuck flap on its own does not show whether a carton has been opened. The usual fix is a printed seal label across the flap, which you can order alongside the cartons from our custom packaging labels. Whether you need one depends on your own sales channel and rules, so settle that with your adviser early.
Board, print and finish
- Folding carton paperboard, commonly 16 to 24 pt, with a smooth coated face for fine text
- Kraft board for a natural or herbal brand look
- CMYK print with Pantone matching for brand colour
- Matte or gloss aqueous coating, soft-touch lamination, spot UV and foil for the logo
- Dividers or paperboard inserts for multi-bottle packs
White coated board with matte coating is the clean, clinical look and keeps small type crisp. Kraft suits botanical and wellness lines, though fine print on kraft is harder to read, so keep text large and the contrast strong.
When to choose a different pack
This page is for the individual product carton. For a broader range of formats across dietary products, see dietary supplement packaging. For the counter unit that holds finished packs at a pharmacy till, look at health counter display boxes. The wider pharma packaging category covers the rest.
Send the container dimensions, whether a leaflet goes inside, and a quantity, even one, and we will draw the dieline and quote it.
Frequently asked questions
What are vitamin and supplement boxes?
They are printed folding cartons that hold a bottle, jar, blister strip or sachet set. The carton carries your brand, the supplement facts, directions and warnings, and protects the container on the shelf and in shipping.
Is there a minimum order for supplement packaging?
No. TBPB has no minimum order, so a new brand can order a single carton to test the fit of a real bottle, then scale after approval. Each carton is cut to your container size and printed with your artwork.
How do I size a carton for a bottle?
Measure the widest point of the bottle, which is often the cap or shoulder, plus its full height. Add about 1/8 inch per side for clearance. If a leaflet goes inside, tell us so the depth allows for it.
Do you write the supplement facts panel?
No. We print the artwork you supply and do not write or approve regulatory text. Facts panels, claims and warnings must be confirmed by your own regulatory adviser. We can fit that copy into the dieline layout once it is final.
Which board works best for supplements?
Coated white folding carton paperboard around 16 to 24 pt keeps small text crisp, and suits a clinical look. Kraft board suits natural brands, but fine print reads less clearly on it. Tell us the style and we recommend a board.
Can the boxes hold several bottles for a bundle?
Yes. A larger carton with paperboard dividers can hold two, three or more bottles or blister cards in a bundle. Send the container sizes and the count per pack and we draw a carton that keeps them from knocking together.
