Custom Hemp Boxes & Hemp Packaging
Hemp brands carry an expectation that most other categories do not. Buyers come in assuming the packaging will be as natural as the product inside, and a glossy plastic laminated carton undoes that story instantly. We print a lot of hemp packaging at ZEE Packaging and matching the box to the promise is usually the first thing we talk about.
The Box Has To Match The Story
A hemp box that looks mass produced works against everything the brand is saying.
- Uncoated or lightly coated stock, it feels closer to the product
- Kraft and unbleached board read natural without you saying a word
- Skip the gloss film, matte or no lamination suits this space better
- Deboss and blind emboss give texture without adding plastic
- Earth tones and muted palettes rather than bright synthetic colours
- Print the sustainability credentials, buyers here actually read them
We are straight with clients about this. A premium finish can look great but the wrong one makes hemp packaging feel dishonest.
What We Package In This Space
- Tincture and oil cartons the highest volume hemp boxes we run
- Topical tube and jar sleeves balm, salve and cream
- Flower jar sleeves smokable hemp packaging
- Pre roll cartons single and multipack
- Supplement and capsule boxes bottle sleeve format
- Hemp food and protein larger cartons and pouch sleeves
Sizes We Print Regular
Every hemp box is built to your container, though these run often:
- 1.5" x 1.5" x 3.75" for a 30ml tincture hemp box
- 2" x 2" x 4" for a capsule bottle
- 1.75" x 1.75" x 5" for a topical tube
- 3" x 3" x 3.5" for a flower jar sleeve
- 4.5" x 1.25" x 1" for a single pre roll
- 8" x 5" x 3" for protein and food hemp packaging
Measure the container with cap or lid on, that is what sets the height every time.
Board And Compliance
- Natural kraft, the most requested stock in hemp packaging
- Recycled board where the story calls for it
- SBS C1S where you need brighter colour reproduction
- 18pt minimum, 20pt to 24pt on heavier bottles
- Rigid greyboard 36pt for the premium tier
- Corrugated E flute for shipping and bulk
Compliance still applies even on a natural looking hemp box. Cannabinoid content, batch number, QR to the COA, hemp derived statement and THC declaration all need a home on the panel. Our prepress team checks it against the dieline so nothing gets trimmed at the edge. We print what you supply, we never draft the wording.
Finish Options
- No lamination at all, the most honest look for hemp packaging
- Matte film where you need some protection
- Soft touch on a premium tier hemp box
- Blind deboss on kraft, subtle and it looks considered
- Spot UV sparingly, a little goes a long way here
- Foil in copper or bronze rather than bright gold
Materials That Back The Claim
- Recycled kraft hemp box with no film
- FSC certified board, certificate on request
- Soy and water based inks
- Paperboard cradle instead of foam
- Compostable film only if a window is essential
- Right sized hemp packaging so you are not shipping air

Frequently Asked Questions
Will you print my brand all colors accurately on kraft hemp box?
Not exactly. Kraft mutes everything, so colors sit warmer and duller. We proof on the actual stock so you see it before the run.
What’s the price of a hemp box?
Our hemp box packaging starts from $0.22 to $1.70 per unit for a tincture folding carton, $0.35 to $3.95 for larger formats and $2.20 to $8.40 for rigid at moderate quantities. Foil and cradle move it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for an exact quote.
Can a hemp box be fully recyclable?
Yes, uncoated or aqueous coated with soy ink and no plastic window. It goes straight in curbside.
Do you print FSC logo on the hemp box?
We can where the certification applies. Ask us and we confirm what marks you are entitled to use.
Is uncoated board strong enough for a glass bottle?
At 20pt with a cradle yes. Below that the base panel starts giving under a filled bottle.
Can you do a window without plastic on my hemp box packaging?
A plain die cut opening or compostable film. Both work, though a plain opening offers no dust protection.
Should we go kraft or white for hemp box packaging?
Kraft if natural is your position, white SBS if you need vivid colour coding across strengths.
