Bux Board Boxes
Recycled bux board carton — dense, fully recycled greyboard stock at a low unit cost. Minimum 500 units.
Per unit, ex works, for stock board with full colour print on the outside and matte lamination. Includes the dieline and one digital proof. Kraft board, heavier calipers, window patching, foil and inserts change the rate — those specs are quoted on request.
Any size, no tooling charge
Stock dies cut to your inside dimensions, so a custom footprint costs the same as a catalogue size.
Dieline and blank sample free
You approve a layered dieline and, on request, hold an unprinted box before the run.
Priced in one business day
Send the spec and a specialist comes back with a firm number, including a cheaper construction if one fits.
What bux board boxes is, and when it is the right call
Bux board is a fully recycled, uncoated grey stock that is denser and stiffer than kraft at the same caliper. It is the cheapest rigid-feeling carton material available and it is the standard substrate for high-volume retail packaging in cost-sensitive categories.
It is grey, and it prints grey. Anything laid on it shifts cool and light colours disappear, so bux board is used either bare or with a white-primed print face. Priming adds cost but keeps the recycled content.
18pt to 30pt bux board, unprinted or primed and litho printed. Minimum 500 units. Part of our sustainable packaging work. The underlying format is a tuck boxes build, which also covers tuck box with window cutout. Brands ordering this typically add kraft mylar bags; for launches and PR sets, wallet boxes.
Buyers often compare this against kraft boxes and kraft card boxes, and every tuck carton we make sits on the tuck boxes page. Specified most often for sustainable packaging. Shop Tuck Boxes quotes this carton in any size you need, with a free dieline and an unprinted blank sample before you commit.

Notes from the floor
Board weight decides more than the product category does. Most boxes we are asked to quote are specified one step heavier than they need to be, and that shows up on every unit.
Where a product sits near the limit of a construction, ask for both options to be quoted. The difference is usually a cent or two a unit and the decision becomes obvious.
Send the product dimensions and weight. Our structural team will name the construction that fits — including when it is a cheaper one than this.
