Custom Condom Boxes & Condom Packaging
This is a regulated category and the carton has to do more than look good. It carry mandatory information, it protect a medical device, and it has to sit on a shelf without embarrassing the person picking it up. We print a fair amount of condom packaging at ZEE Packaging and the compliance side is where most brand need the most help.
Compliance Comes First
Condoms are a Class II medical device, so the condom box panel is not a free canvas.
- Lot or batch number and expiry date, with blank space left for inkjet coding
- Nominal width in millimeter
- Material, natural rubber latex or polyisoprene or polyurethane
- Latex allergy warning where applicable
- Lubricant type and whether it is spermicidal
- CE mark and notified body number for European sale
- FDA cleared statement for the US market
- Storage instruction, cool dry place away from sunlight
- Single use only and read the insert statement
Our prepress team check all of it against the dieline before press so nothing get trimmed at the edge.
- Reverse tuck end carton the standard 3 pack and 12 pack condom box
- Straight tuck end cleaner front panel for retail condom packaging
- Seal end carton glued, gives tamper evidence
- Slim wallet style pocket carry, popular with newer brand
- Tin or rigid box premium and gifting condom packaging
- Mailer carton discreet ecommerce and subscription order
Sizes We Run Regular
Every condom box is built to your foil count and foil size, but these come up constantly:
- 2" x 1.5" x 0.5" for a single or 3 pack
- 3" x 2" x 0.75" for a 6 pack condom box
- 3.5" x 2.5" x 1" for a 12 pack
- 4" x 3" x 1.5" for a 24 pack
- 5" x 4" x 1.5" for variety pack condom packaging
- 6" x 4" x 2" for a bundled kit with lube sachet
Send us the foil dimension and the count and we build the dieline around the stack height.
Board And Print
- SBS C1S for smooth printed retail condom box, takes ink cleanly
- Kraft board for natural and vegan positioned range
- Cardstock 14pt to 18pt covers most condom packaging
- Rigid greyboard 36pt for gift and premium line
- Corrugated only for outer shipper
We would stay at 16pt or above on anything past a 6 pack, because a thin condom box crease badly once the foil stack push against the panel.
Discretion On The Shelf And In The Mail
- Neutral outer shipper with no product name for online order
- Brand forward design on the inner condom box instead
- Slim profile so it sit flat in a pocket or bag
- No see through window on mailed condom packaging
Finishing
- Soft touch lamination, the most requested in this category
- Matte film with spot UV over the logo
- Foil stamping, works well on darker design
- Emboss or deboss for texture
- Printed inside panel, cheap and it get noticed
Greener Options
- Recycled kraft condom box with no film
- FSC certified board, certificate on request
- Soy based ink
- Uncoated finish that recycle straight in curbside

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you write the regulatory copy for us?
No, we print what you supply. Compliance wording is your responsibility and your regulatory advisor should sign it off, then we lay it out on the panel correctly.
Where do we leave space for batch and expiry?
On a flat unprinted area, usually the end flap or the back panel. We keep it clear of varnish so your inkjet coder adhere properly.
What does a condom box cost?
Rough estimate is $0.18 to $0.60 per unit for folding carton, $0.80 to $2.00 for mailer and $1.80 to $4.50 for rigid at moderate quantity. Foil and soft touch push it higher. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Can you do a slim pocket format?
Yes, and it is popular right now. We adjust the dieline so the condom box stay under a certain thickness for pocket carry.
Will lamination affect the foil inside?
No. The lamination is on the outer surface only and the foil sachet is a sealed barrier on it own.
Can you print inside the carton?
Yes, and plenty of brand use it for the instruction leaflet reference or a short message.
How discreet can the shipping carton be?
Fully plain if you want. No branding, no product name, just an address label and your printed condom packaging inside.
