Choose from high-quality cardboard grades suitable for safe pet transport:

• Corrugated cardboard for durability and load-bearing
• Kraft linerboard for an eco-friendly and breathable structure
• Coated cardboard for added moisture resistance
• Double-wall cardboard for heavier or multiple pets

Sizes

Tailor the carrier to the size and weight of your pets:

• Small boxes for kittens, puppies, or small reptiles
• Medium carriers for rabbits or cats
• Custom sizes for bird cages or paired animals
• Foldable flat-packs for easy storage

Prints

Promote your veterinary clinic, shelter, or store with printed branding:

• Full-color offset or digital printing
• Water-resistant and pet-safe inks
• Instructional icons, safety notes, and logo placement
• Customizable design areas for messaging or QR codes

Add-ons

Add practical features and style to your carrier box:

• Air-vent holes for proper ventilation
• Reinforced carry handles
• Die-cut windows with mesh backing
• Interior padding or pet liners

Depending on use case, we offer several functional styles:

• Standard folding pet carriers
• Pre-assembled rigid carriers

3Ps Approach

Our boxes align with the 3Ps of packaging: Presentation, Preservation, and Protection—essential for carrying live animals.

Presentation

Show care and professionalism with printed branding, care instructions, and clean visuals that enhance customer trust during animal transport.

Preservation

Well-ventilated designs and moisture-resistant materials ensure pets remain calm, safe, and clean throughout short trips or transitions.

Protection

Our cardboard boxes are weight-tested and built to endure basic handling and short commutes, with reinforced bottoms and sealed seams to prevent escape or collapse.

When measuring a custom box, there are a few technical specifications that must be considered to ensure proper design, manufacturing, and fit for the product. Here are the major technical things to measure a custom box:

Inside Dimensions (Critical for Product Fit)

• Length (L): The longest side of the box measured inside from one corner to the opposite corner.
• Width (W): The shorter side of the box measured inside perpendicular to the length.
• Depth/Height (D or H): Measured inside from the bottom to the top opening of the box. Always specify that dimensions are given in Length × Width × Height.

Outside Dimensions (Important for Shipping & Storage)

• Measure the outer surfaces of the box including material thickness.
• Outside measurements are used for pallet stacking, warehouse spacing, and shipping compliance.

Material Thickness (Board Caliper)

• The thickness of the packaging material (e.g., corrugated board, rigid stock, cardstock).
• Impacts both the internal usable space and external dimensions.

Flap Measurements

• For boxes with flaps (e.g., mailer or shipping boxes), measure:
• Inner flaps: Ensure they meet in the middle without overlapping too much.
• Outer flaps: Allow proper sealing without gaps.

Tolerances

• Account for manufacturing tolerances (usually ±1/16" or ±2mm depending on material).
• Ensure the product fits without being too tight or loose.

Volume Capacity

• Calculate internal cubic capacity (L × W × H).
• Helps in determining how much space the product will occupy and shipping efficiency.

Product Orientation

• Decide how the product sits inside the box and measure accordingly.
• Orientation affects whether length or width is the primary dimension.

Die-Cut Openings or Windows

• Measure exact placement, height, and width for any cutouts.
• Ensure structural integrity when adding windows.

Printing Bleed & Safe Zones

• Include measurements for:
• Bleed area: Extra space beyond the cut line for printing.
• Safe zone: Inner area where critical text or logos should be placed.

Closure Type & Locking Tabs

• Measure slots, tabs, or locks for boxes with custom closures.
• Precision is required to avoid misalignment during assembly.

Packaging Style

• Folds, creases, and scores must be measured for accurate dieline creation.
• Different styles (e.g., RSC, tuck-end, mailer, sleeve) require specific panel measurements.
