Go walk down the cereal aisle at any grocery store. You'll see dozens of boxes all fighting for your attention. Bright colors everywhere. Cartoon characters looking at you. That cereal with frog on box or the one with a bear on it isn't some random choice. Those mascots and designs are doing real marketing work.
Get Variety Of Boxes For All Types Of Businesses
Regular size cereal boxes are what you see in grocery stores. That classic rectangle shape everyone knows. These work for actual cereal brands selling in retail stores. Full size boxes hold about 12 to 18 ounces and give you plenty of room for nutrition facts, ingredients, and your branding.
Mini cereal boxes are way more useful than most people realize. Hotels put them out at breakfast buffets. Airlines use them for in-flight meals. Schools buy them for breakfast programs. Marketing people hand them out as promotional giveaways. They're perfect when you want that cereal box look but in a sample size or single serving. Usually hold 1 to 2 ounces.
Custom cereal boxes can have your company mascot, promotional graphics, event branding, anything. We print full color so you're not stuck with just basic text. Photos, complex graphics, multiple colors, it all works.
Funny cereal boxes get used for promotions and viral marketing stuff. Blank cereal boxes give you options to print on them yourself later or add handwritten stuff or stickers.
Unique cereal boxes have different shapes, texture or how they're built. Customers can request window mailers or special die-cut shapes. Or textured finishes that feel different when you touch them.
We Provide Perfect Colors and Printing Quality That Customers Give A Double Take For!
Color psychology is a real thing with cereal packaging. Blue cereal boxes make people think trustworthy and calm, that's why health cereals use blue a lot. Bright reds and oranges create excitement, perfect for kids' cereals. Earthy colors like browns and greens make people think natural or organic.
Characters work because people connect with faces. That cereal with frog on box probably stuck in your head way more than some plain text design would. Same with cereal with bear on box or any other mascot.
What Does Food Packaging Actually Do?
Cereal boxes aren't just for marketing. They're real packaging that has to do several things at once.
Food safety comes first. Everything that touches cereal needs FDA approval. The paperboard, the inks, any coatings we use. We only use materials that are approved for touching food directly. This isn't something you can skip, it's literally required.
The box has to protect the cereal. Keep it dry, stop it from getting crushed, keep it fresh. Most cereal boxes have that liner bag inside but the outer box still needs to be strong enough to stack on shelves and survive shipping without falling apart. Nutrition facts and ingredient lists are required by law. Barcodes need to go where scanners can actually read them.

Get Your Personalized Touch To Make People Notice Your Box
Generic boxes don't do anything for your brand. Custom printing turns your packaging into marketing. We do full color printing so you can use whatever design you want.
Your logo needs to be big and clear. People should spot your brand from across the store aisle. Make it big enough to actually see but don't let it overwhelm everything else.
Character design takes some real skill. If you're making a mascot it needs to be appealing and right for whoever you're selling to. Kids mascots should look friendly and fun.
Use fonts that match what your brand is about. Nutrition facts in the format they require, ingredient list, allergen warnings, cooking tips if that's relevant. Make it simple to read without making the design look messy.
What Materials Do We Use For Frog Cereal Boxes?
Regular cereal boxes use SBS paperboard usually around 18 to 24 point thickness. This gives you good structure without costing too much.
The recycled paper that we use attracts all the customers that are environmentally conscious. Lots of cereal brands now use boxes with 35% to 100% recycled content. The soy-based inks we use are becoming normal instead of petroleum-based inks.
We use water-based coatings instead of plastic-based ones to make boxes easier to recycle. The whole box can go in regular recycling instead of being trash. This matters a lot to brands that want to position themselves as eco-friendly.
How To Get Them Made
Start by figuring out what size you need. Do you need regular retail size, mini boxes, or custom dimensions? Just let us know what products you deal in and we will measure it for you and guide you about it.
Design comes next. Either send us whatever artwork you have created ready or our design team will help you to create something nice. We'll show you how exactly the printing will look on the finished box. Change whatever you want until it looks what you want.
