Paperboard Thickness Chart

Mobile Box Paper Thickness Chart(1).png

What's a Good Paper Thickness for My Box?

  • 16pt  (0.016″ ≈ slightly thicker than a business card)

    • Best for very small product boxes.

    • Rule of thumb: footprint (floor of the box) of about 1″ × 1″ or smaller.

 

  • 18pt (0.018″ ≈ just under credit-card thickness)

    • Strong enough for most cosmetics, food, and shelf packaging.

    • Cost-effective and versatile — the “everyday” choice for custom boxes.

    • Rule of thumb: footprint of about 2.75″ × 2.75″ or smaller.

 

  • 24pt  (0.024″ ≈ credit-card thickness)

    • Stiffer and more rigid, with a premium feel in hand.

    • Ideal for larger, heavier, or higher-end products where strength and presentation matter.

    • Rule of thumb: footprint of about 3″ × 3″ or larger.

Cardstock.... or Paperboard?

The paper behind your packaging matters

You may have seen box specs like “18pt cardstock” online — but not all 18pt paper is created equal.

Cardstock: A thick paper used for crafts, postcards, and invitations. It’s cheaper and works for lighter packaging — but it lacks the stiffness and durability needed for most product boxes.

Paperboard: A stiffer material engineered specifically for packaging. It folds cleanly, glues reliably, and holds its shape to protect your product — and your brand — on the shelf.

 

The key is knowing what you’re buying. In retail, your product box is what closes the sale — so it needs to perform and look its best. That’s why we use a quality paperboard — so your packaging doesn’t just hold together, it helps sell what’s inside.
