Custom Round Kraft Boxes

What Fits a Round Box

Round kraft boxes are natural homes for round products: candle tins and jars, round soap bars, bath bombs, lip balm pots and solid perfume tins. They also suit loose products poured into a bag or liner, such as tea, coffee, spices, bath salts and dried flowers.

Gift sets work beautifully in a larger round box with a card or shredded paper bed, for example a candle, a soap and a small balm. Jewellery makers use small round boxes with a foam pad for rings and earrings, and bakers use them for macarons stacked in a column.

If your product is square or awkwardly shaped, a round box is still possible with an insert, but a square box will usually be more economical. For taller products such as bottles, the cylinder boxes with push-fit caps suit better.

Getting the Size Right

Measure the product's diameter at its widest point and its height. For jars and tins, include the lid. Add a few millimetres to the diameter so the product slides in and out easily, and a few to the height so the lid does not press on it.

For loose products, decide the weight you want to sell, fill a bag with it and see how much space it takes, then size the box around that. Loose leaf tea is bulky for its weight; dense bath salts take up much less room.

Depth of the lid is a design choice. A shallow lid shows more of the base and its print. A deep lid covers most of the base for a dramatic reveal when pulled off.

When a range includes several sizes, keep the same lid style and print position on each, so the boxes look like a family when lined up together. Staggered heights of the same diameter can look especially good on a shelf, with the shortest at the front.

Printing on Kraft

Kraft board is brown, so inks behave differently from white board. Dark colours such as black, navy, deep green and burgundy look rich and crisp. Light colours and pastels look muted because the brown shows through. If you want white or bright colours, we can print a white base layer first or use white-lined kraft, which is brown outside and white inside.

Foil blocking looks especially good on kraft. Gold, copper and silver foils contrast beautifully with brown board and give a premium touch without full-colour print. A printed or foiled label on the lid is another affordable option, letting one stock of plain boxes carry different product names.

Many brands keep the design simple: a logo on the lid and a short line around the side. The natural board is part of the look.

Rubber stamping is another option for very small runs: order plain boxes and stamp your logo by hand. It suits makers who want a craft feel, and you can switch to printed boxes once volumes grow.

Who Uses Round Kraft Packaging

Our round kraft boxes are used by candle makers, tea and coffee merchants, soap and bath product makers, skincare brands selling balms, jewellery makers, bakers and confectioners, florists selling dried flowers and gift shops building their own ranges.

Wedding planners and event hosts order small round kraft boxes as favours, often filled with a mini candle, a few sweets or seeds, and tied with twine and a printed tag. The rustic look suits barn, garden and countryside celebrations particularly well, and a simple stamped monogram on the lid keeps costs low for large guest lists.

If you add a window or a laminate, tell customers how to separate the parts.

Ordering Round Boxes

Share the product dimensions, the construction you prefer, how you want it decorated and the quantity. We send a custom quote by email within one working day, and minimums are low and quoted per job, which suits a maker launching a single product as well as a range.

You will see a free design proof showing the lid, the base wrap and any labels or foil areas. Production takes 4 to 7 working days once you approve it, and delivery to UK mainland addresses is free, tracked and usually takes 2 to 3 working days.

Dented or misprinted kraft boxes can be reported within 10 days of delivery, and we will reprint or refund them. Printed kraft boxes in their simplest form start from £0.25 each.
