Custom dried fruit boxes give food manufacturers, grocers, health food brands and online stores a way to package dried fruit and fruit leathers that looks professional, protects the product and fits the way your kitchen actually works.
Window boxes with an inner pouch keep fruit moist while the colour sells it. Every box is made from food-grade board, cut to your dimensions and printed in full colour, spot colours or a simple one-colour logo, with orders from 100 units and delivery to Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and Adelaide and regional areas.
What our dried fruit boxes are used for
- Dried fruit: a box that photographs well brings free exposure on social media.
- Fruit leathers: the box has to hold its shape from the counter to the customer's table.
- Dried mango: presentation matters as much as protection, so the print needs to be sharp.
- Gift packs: staff need a box that folds up fast when orders stack up.

Box styles
Choose the structure that suits the food and how your team packs it. We can also combine features or copy a box you already use.
- Reverse tuck end: Tuck flaps close in opposite directions at top and bottom, the most common retail carton style.
- Straight tuck end: Both tuck flaps close from the same side, giving a clean front panel for display.
- Counter display box: The lid tears away or folds back to turn the shipping carton into a counter-top stand.
Sizes
These sizes suit most orders for dried fruit boxes. Every box can be made to your exact inside dimensions.
| Popular size | Common use |
|---|---|
| 100 x 50 x 150 mm | dried fruit |
| 150 x 60 x 200 mm | fruit leathers |
| Custom | Any size to suit your product |
Materials and board
We match the board to the weight of the food and how far it travels. The main thing to plan for with dried fruit boxes is moisture, crushing on shelves and scuffing during handling.
- SBS paperboard: Solid bleached sulphate board gives a bright white surface for sharp, full-colour print. It is the usual choice for retail cartons and bakery boxes, and is commonly specified between 300 and 400 gsm depending on the weight of the food.
- Kraft paperboard: Unbleached kraft has a natural brown finish that suits rustic, organic and eco-minded brands. It prints best with bold one- or two-colour artwork, because the brown base shifts lighter colours.
- Board with a display window: A die-cut window, either open or covered with clear film, lets customers see the product. A film-free cut-out keeps the box a single material, which helps recycling.
Food safety
All dried fruit boxes are made from food-grade board. Where food touches the box directly, we recommend a barrier coating or liner, and print is kept on the outside. Our guide to food-safe packaging in Australia explains what the Food Standards Code expects from packaging.
Use an inner bag or liner for anything that must stay dry, and let the carton do the branding.
Printing and finishes
Print your logo in one colour, match exact brand colours with Pantone, or go full colour with CMYK. Finishes include matte and gloss coatings, spot UV, foil, embossing and windows. Not sure which to choose? Read CMYK vs Pantone for food packaging and our guide to coatings and finishes.
Sustainable options
Kraft and recycled-content board, film-free windows and water-based coatings all help your dried fruit boxes recycle more easily. We can add the Australasian Recycling Label to your artwork, and certified compostable options are available for some styles.
