Custom Vitamin Boxes & Supplement Packaging
Supplements is a regulated shelf. Half the panel is spoken for before your designer even open the file, and what is left has to still sell the product. That tension is the whole challenge of vitamin packaging, and it is the conversation we have with nearly every client at ZEE Packaging.
The Panel Is Half Claimed Already
In supplement packaging, before anything creative happens, these element need space on the vitamin box packaging.
- Supplement Facts panel, non negotiable and it eat real estate
- Serving size and servings per container
- Full ingredient and other ingredient list
- FDA disclaimer statement
- Allergen and warning copy
- Lot code and expiry area, leave it blank for inkjet
- Barcode with proper quiet zone
We lay all of it on the dieline and show you a digital design proof before sending it to production so nothing get squeezed at the last minute.
What Goes Inside The Supplement Box
The primary container of your supplements decide your vitamin & supplement packaging box, so we start there.
- Bottle carton around a 60 or 120 count HDPE bottle, the standard vitamin packaging
- Blister carton with a printed insert leaflet, common for daily pack
- Sachet or stick pack carton powder and effervescent
- Gummy pouch carton an outer vitamin box over a stand up pouch
- Subscription mailer direct to door vitamin packaging
- Multi bottle bundle divided carton for a stack pack
Sizes We Run Regular
Every supplement / vitamin box is built to your bottle, but these repeat constantly:
- 2" x 2" x 4" for a 60 count bottle
- 2.5" x 2.5" x 5" for 120 count, our most ordered vitamin box
- 3" x 3" x 5.5" for gummy jar
- 4" x 2" x 6" for blister card with leaflet
- 6" x 4" x 5" for a three bottle bundle
- 8" x 6" x 3" for mailer format vitamin packaging
So if you want to measure accurate fitting size for your vitamin packaging. You should measure the bottle with the cap on and send us the number, we build the dieline from that.
Board Choice
- SBS C1S, the default for printed retail vitamin box
- SBS C2S when you print inside as well
- Kraft board for clean label and organic range
- Corrugated E flute when the vitamin box ship alone
- Cardstock 16pt to 22pt, and 20pt plus once a glass jar is involved
Always keep in mind that a thin board bow around a heavy gummy jar. We would rather suggest you to use a thick grade (18 pt - 22 pt) than having a bowed thin board vitamin box sitting on a shelf.
Print And Finish
- Matte lamination, easily the most common in vitamin packaging
- Soft touch for premium and clinical range
- Spot UV over the logo or a key claim
- Foil stamping, used sparingly here, it read luxury
- Emboss on kraft for a natural feel
- Printed inner panel for dosage or brand story
Heavy ink on a small carton scuff easily, so matte film usually earn it cost back. Or most of the supplements & vitamin manufacturers order metalized packaging boxes from us that is a trendy packaging in this industry.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a vitamins & supplements packaging box cost?
Rough estimate is $0.28 to $1.85 per unit for folding carton, $0.90 to $4.20 for corrugated mailer and $2.20 to $8.50 for rigid at moderate quantity. Foil and window work push it higher. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Do you write the Supplement Facts panel on my vitamin packaging box?
No, we print what you supply. Send us final approved copy and our team lay it out to fit the panel properly.
How small can the Supplement Facts text on a vitamin packaging box?
We keep it at 6pt minimum. Below that it break up on press and it become a compliance risk for you.
Where should the lot and expiry go on my supplement packaging box?
Leave a clear uncoated block on one end flap. Laminated surface do not take inkjet coding well at all.
Can you print the inside of the supplement carton?
Yes on C2S board. Plenty of client use it for dosage guidance or a short brand note.
Will the bottle move inside the vitamin packaging box?
Not if it is sized right. For lighter fill we add a paperboard collar so nothing shift around.
Can you do a window on a supplement carton?
We can, with a PET patch. It work best on gummy where the color is part of the appeal.
