Bottom boxes from Cartor Packaging are built for brands that need stronger retail packaging with a clean, shelf-ready look. Our custom 1-2-3 bottom boxes, also known as snap lock boxes, feature an interlocking base that assembles quickly and supports products that need more stability than a standard carton.
Add optional dust flaps (side flaps) to help keep your products protected from dirt and debris during transit. A smart upgrade for food items, luxury goods, and anything that needs a cleaner unboxing.
Self-locking construction uses secure tuck-in flaps, so boxes close neatly without extra tape or glue. This improves presentation, speeds up packing, and helps reduce shipping mess.
Digital CMYK printing is a great fit for shorter runs, faster production, and high-quality color output. It’s ideal when you need flexibility without committing to very large quantities.
We move quickly from proof approval to production so you can meet launch dates and restocks. Timelines vary by size, finish, and quantity rush options may be available on request.
Print on the outside and inside of your packaging for a premium unboxing moment. Two-sided printing is ideal for branding, instructions, patterns, and that ‘wow’ reveal.
Run multiple designs in one order perfect for flavors, scents, limited editions, or seasonal drops. Keep the same box structure while changing artwork to match each SKU.
Built with strong materials and reliable structure so your packaging holds up through storage, handling, and delivery. Great packaging protects the product and keeps the brand experience intact.
Review your design online before production starts. You can check layout, placement, and details, request edits, and approve with confidence helping prevent costly mistakes.

Getting a quote from Cartor is quick and simple. Share your packaging requirements with us, including box dimensions, quantity, material preferences, printing details, and any design ideas you have in mind, so we can provide a more accurate quotation and support your timeline if you have an urgent deadline.
Once we receive your request, our packaging team will review it and prepare a tailored quotation for your project.

A dieline is the technical template used to prepare your packaging for production, showing where the box will be cut, folded, and assembled to ensure accurate manufacturing. After your order is confirmed, Cartor will prepare your dieline file for review so the structure of your packaging is finalized before design and production begin.
Now it’s time to add your artwork to the approved dieline. To make sure everything prints correctly, your design should follow the proper format, sizing, and layout requirements for packaging production, and if you do not already have a design team, Cartor can assist you with preparing artwork that is ready for print and aligned with your packaging vision.
Once your design is ready, we can prepare digital mockups so you can preview how your packaging will look before production begins. This helps you review the overall appearance, check text placement, confirm branding, and make any final adjustments so your packaging looks exactly the way you want before it moves forward.
After final approval, your packaging moves into production and Cartor begins manufacturing your custom boxes according to the approved specifications. Our team stays in touch throughout the process to keep you informed on progress, so you always know what stage your order is in until it is ready for dispatch.
