Why cinemas and event brands order from All Custom Packaging
All Custom Packaging produces custom popcorn boxes in the UK from 100 units per design, printed on food-safe board with low-migration inks. There are no setup fees, design support and a 3D mockup are free, and production takes 6 to 8 business days after design approval. Every order ships with free UK delivery.
Popcorn boxes take a beating: they are filled with hot, greasy popcorn and handled by the public, so grease resistance and a sturdy base matter as much as the print. We use food-grade board with the right grease barrier, build a base that holds a full fill without collapsing, and confirm it on a real sample before the run.
The 100-unit minimum suits a single film release, a festival, a wedding or a promotional run, without ordering thousands you will not get through.
Formats we make
Classic open popcorn boxes. The tapered cinema and fairground box, in small, medium and large. See Custom Printed Popcorn Boxes and Branded Popcorn Boxes.
Mini popcorn boxes. Small boxes for parties, favours and sampling. See Mini Popcorn Boxes.
