Custom Door Lock Boxes & Door Lock Packaging
A lock is one of the few product where the buyer is genuinely worried about picking the wrong one. Wrong backset, wrong door thickness, wrong finish and it goes straight back to the store. So the door lock box is doing two job at once, protecting heavy metal and answering a nervous shopper before they reach the till. We print plenty of door lock packaging at ZEE Packaging and both side matter equally.
Six Things The Front Panel Must Say
Get these wrong and the return rate tell you about it.
- Backset, 2 3/8 or 2 3/4, this is the first thing checked
- Door thickness range the lock fit
- Finish name with a swatch, satin nickel, matte black, aged bronze
- ANSI grade rating, 1, 2 or 3
- Handing, whether it is reversible or side specific
- What is in the kit, so nobody buy a deadbolt expecting a handle
Our prepress team check all of it against the dieline so nothing get trimmed at the edge.
Keeping The Kit Together
Every door lock box is really a parts box, and a missing screw ruins the whole install.
- Individual well for lockset, strike plate and cylinder
- Screw bag held under a flap, not floating in the door lock packaging
- Template sheet laid flat so it does not crease
- Spindle and allen key in it own slot
- Anti scratch layer between metal and board
- Corrugated shipper with die cut tray our most ordered door lock box
- Auto lock bottom carton carries the load, quick on the packing line
- Tray and hood tidy presentation for mid range
- Tuck end folding carton light cylinder and latch door lock packaging
- Window carton lets the finish show, which sells on a hardware shelf
- Rigid box smart lock and designer range

Every door lock box is made to your kit, but these run often:
- 7" x 5" x 2.5" for a knob set

Weigh the loaded kit before you spec board. Weight decide the flute far more than footprint does.
Brass and steel concentrate weight into a small area, and that is where thin board give way.

- E flute only on latch and cylinder
- Litho laminated SBS C1S when you want retail print with strength
- Rigid greyboard 36pt on premium door lock packaging

Print And Finish
- Matte lamination, it hide handling scuff far better than gloss

- Spot UV over the logo or grade badge
- Foil stamping on smart and designer range
- Window patch with clear PET so the finish is visible
- Emboss on rigid presentation box

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the price of a door lock box?
Rough estimate is $0.60 to $1.50 per unit for corrugated with tray, $1.30 to $2.90 for litho laminated print and $2.80 to $6.50 for rigid at moderate quantity. Tray type and print coverage move it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Where do we put the backset figure?
Front panel, large. It is the spec every buyer check first and hiding it on a side flap cost you sales.
Will a molded pulp tray hold a heavy deadbolt?
It will, and we usually prefer it over foam on weight. It hold shape better and it recycle without any fuss.
How do we stop the finish getting scratched?
A well per component plus a tissue or foam layer. Loose part rubbing together is what cause nearly every finish complaint.
Is a window worth adding?
On a hardware shelf yes. Shoppers want to see the real finish rather than trust a printed swatch, so it help conversion.
Can you print the install template?
We can print it as a loose sheet or onto the inner flap. Inner flap stop it going missing during fitting.
What flute for a contractor multipack?
Double wall. Six lock in one carton is a lot of concentrated weight going onto a pallet.
