Cereal Boxes.

No, the carton is structural and the inner liner does all of the barrier work. Folding boxboard on its own lets moisture and oxygen through, so the liner film is specified from the shelf life you need rather than from the box. That split is what lets the board carry high recycled content: it never touches the food.

Standard barrier film, mono-material film for a recycling route, or a resealable zippered liner. The mono-material version is a single polymer so it can be collected alongside the board where local schemes accept it. Resealable liners suit a pack that gets opened every morning for weeks and would otherwise go stale after the tuck tab loosens.

Yes, it is one of the few panels in grocery that gets read properly. A cereal box sits on a table while someone eats, which is attention no other carton gets. We treat the back as editorial space and keep the nutrition table and required marks in their prescribed placement without letting them swallow the whole panel.

Both faces print full CMYK, so there is no cost penalty for using the back well.

Full CMYK photographic print is the category standard, finished with gloss lamination for mass retail or matte for premium positioning. Gloss pushes saturation on a crowded grocery shelf. Matte reads quieter and suits adult and health-positioned lines. Visible recycled kraft board is an option for brands leading with sustainability, and spot colour matching holds your brand colour across reprints.

Two common sizes are 7.5 by 2.5 by 11 inches and 8 by 3 by 12 inches, measured length by depth by height. The tall, narrow profile puts more front panels in a given run of shelf. Retailer specifications sometimes fix the height, so tell us which fixture the pack is going into and we'll check the carton against it.

The floor is 500 cartons, and liners are supplied to match. Tiered pricing applies once a run goes past 1,000. Because the carton and liner are two components, we quote them together so the count stays aligned and you are not left with bags and no boxes.

Cartons ship 7 to 10 business days after artwork sign-off, or 5 to 7 business days rushed. A sample is ready in 5 to 7 business days so you can check the tuck tab, the panel layout and the liner fit before committing. That sample fee is knocked off the production order.

The board, yes. The liner, usually not, unless you specify the mono-material film. Folding boxboard with high post-consumer content goes into the paper stream without trouble. A conventional multi-layer liner does not, so a whole-pack recycling claim is not something we make by default. Choose the single-polymer liner and check the local scheme, and the claim becomes supportable.
