What goes into a well-made cardboard ammo box

Ammunition is heavy for its size, sold in fixed counts and handled often, so its box needs to be compact, strong and easy to read. Custom ammo boxes are cardboard cartons made to your exact round size and count, usually with an internal tray that holds each cartridge upright or flat in rows. That keeps rounds from knocking together and lets buyers check the count at a glance.

Tuck-end cartons and sleeve-and-tray boxes in heavy SBS paperboard are the common choice for retail counts, while E-flute corrugated suits bulk packs and outer cases. Trays can be die-cut card with a hole for each round or folded card channels. Custom ammo box cardboard can be printed in full color or one color, and a matte or gloss coating helps the box resist handling. Shipping, labeling and storage rules for ammunition vary, so check the current requirements for your products and markets.

Buyers scan for caliber, grain weight, bullet type and count, so make those the largest elements after your brand. Color-coding by caliber or load helps a shelf read clearly. Keep a consistent panel layout across the range, and leave space for any lot numbers or labels you apply in-house, such as custom ammo box labels for reloads. A short safety or storage line on a side panel is a common addition, using wording you provide.

FAQ

Custom Ammo Boxes: questions answered

Still unsure? Ask a packaging specialist.

What are ammo boxes made of?

Retail ammo boxes are usually heavy SBS paperboard or kraft cartons with a card tray inside. Bulk packs and outer cases use E-flute or B-flute corrugated. The board and tray are chosen to carry the weight of your rounds and the count per box.

Can I get custom ammo boxes with internal trays?

Yes. Die-cut card trays with a hole for each cartridge or folded card channels are made to your round dimensions and count. Share the cartridge size and how many go in each box, and the tray is planned around them.

Are there rules for packaging and shipping ammunition?

Yes. Shipping, labeling and storage rules for ammunition vary by product, carrier and location, so check the current requirements before ordering. Vorex makes the box to your specification and leaves room for the information you need to show.

Do you make custom ammo boxes in bulk?

Yes. Vorex quotes custom ammo boxes in bulk for brands, reloaders and retailers. Send your box style, round size, count per box, quantity and artwork, and a specialist replies with pricing for each option you are considering.

Can I put my own labels on custom ammo boxes?

Yes. Many reloaders print the brand on the box and add custom ammo box labels for load data or lot numbers. Leave a clear panel for the label, and the layout is planned so it fits without covering your branding.
