Custom Towel Boxes & Towel Packaging
Towels are bought on two thing nobody can judge through cardboard, softness and absorbency. That put a lot of weight on the carton, because the towel box has to convince a shopper of something they cannot feel. We print plenty of towel packaging at ZEE Packaging and the brands that get this right build the pack around touch and weight, not just print.
Let Them Feel The Pile
Almost every strong towel box on shelf give the shopper a way in.
- Open touch window so a hand reach the actual loop pile
- Swatch panel glued to the front of the towel packaging
- Cut out handle that double as a touch point
- PET patched window where the towel need staying clean
- Big macro weave photography if you go with no opening
GSM matter here too. A heavy 700 GSM bath sheet feel substantial through the box and that alone sell it, so do not over compress the fold.

Dimensions We Run
Every towel box is built to your folded stack, though these come up constantly:
- 10" x 8" x 3" for a hand towel pair
- 12" x 10" x 4" for a bath towel
- 14" x 11" x 5" for a bath sheet towel box
- 13" x 10" x 6" for a three piece set
- 16" x 12" x 7" for a six piece bundle
- 8" x 6" x 2" for face cloth and flannel
Have your packer fold a set the normal way and measure the stack, then send the number over.
Board, Handle And Weight
A six piece cotton bundle is heavier than most people expect and the handle carry all of it.
- B flute for bath sheet, bundle and any handle towel box

Frequently Asked Questions
Open window or patched?
Open if you want shoppers touching the pile, which lift conversion in store. Patched if the towel box sit in stock a while or ships loose and you need it kept clean.
Will an E flute handle hold a bath sheet set?
Not reliably. That tear is the most common repair job we get handed. Go B flute with a reinforced handle cut.
How do we show softness with no window?
Soft touch lamination plus a close up pile photograph. The feel of the box do a surprising amount of the persuading.
How much is a towel box?
Rough estimate is $0.75 to $1.90 per unit for corrugated with handle, $1.40 to $3.10 for litho laminated print and $3.00 to $7.00 for rigid at moderate quantity. Size and window style move it. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Should we vacuum compress the towel?
Only if you want the stack smaller. It does save freight but it also make the towel feel thin in hand, which work against you at shelf.
Do you supply belly band and insert card?
We do. Lot of client order box, band and card in one job so the color line up.
What board for face cloth only?
E flute or 20pt cardstock. There is barely any load, so heavier board only add cost.
