What to Look for in Popcorn Boxes

Popcorn boxes are about volume, grease and standing upright. Look at these before you look at the print.

Volume. Popcorn is light but bulky, so a box that looks big can hold less than you think. Decide on serving sizes, then test each by filling a box with real popcorn.
Shape. Tapered boxes are easy to hold and show the branding well. Straight-sided boxes stack better. Choose by whether the box is held or placed on a tray.
Butter and oil. Buttered popcorn leaves grease marks quickly. Tell us how your popcorn is made and we confirm what protection is possible.
Closed or open top. Open tops are quick to fill, closed tops suit take-home bags and gift boxes.
Stability. A box has to stand on a table or fit a cup holder without tipping.

Where Popcorn Boxes Are Used

Cinemas and theatres serving popcorn in several sizes.
Gourmet popcorn shops selling flavored popcorn as a treat or a gift.
Event and party hosts handing out popcorn at birthdays or school events.
Fairs, festivals and sports venues that sell popcorn by the portion.

Artwork and Printing Tips for Popcorn Boxes

Popcorn boxes often use vertical stripes or a repeating pattern, and a logo panel set against it. Both work well because the shape is simple and the box is seen from a distance.
Use high contrast between the pattern and the logo. A busy pattern with a thin logo disappears.
Keep small text away from the folds and the bottom edge where the board bends.
Keep a quiet panel for a flavor or size label, so you can use one box for several products.
Ask us to check the layout against the dieline before you finalize the artwork.

Planning Your Order

Choose your serving sizes, then fill a test box of each and measure it. Check where you store boxes, since popcorn boxes are bulky even when flat. Think about how they will be filled and whether the filling station has room. If you are unsure how to take the measurements, the measuring guide walks you through length, width and height.

Order a sample and fill it with real popcorn. The Standard Sample Kit costs $50 with shipping included, and other sample types are listed on the Samples page. Pricing and minimums come with your quote.
