Custom Pet Chew Boxes

If you sell natural chews or dental chews, the box is the last thing your customer sees before they eat and the first thing they remember afterwards. We make custom pet chew boxes for pet treat makers, pet stores, groomers and pet subscription brands that protect the food and do some of the marketing for you.

Grease-resistant board handles natural, fatty chews without staining. 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 pet chew boxes are used for

• Natural chews: staff need a box that folds up fast when orders stack up.
• Dental chews: repeat customers notice when the packaging looks consistent every time.
• Jerky treats: the food often travels further than you'd expect, so strength counts.
• Chew multi-packs: a box that photographs well brings free exposure on social media.

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.

• Window tuck box: A window shows the product and lets it sell itself on the counter or shelf.
• Gable handle box: Two top panels fold up into a built-in carry handle, so no separate bag is needed.
• Mailer box: A roll-end mailer locks without tape, survives courier handling and opens like a present.

Sizes

These sizes suit most orders for pet chew boxes. Every box can be made to your exact inside dimensions.

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 pet chew boxes is fat content in treats, moisture and chewing-curious pets.

• 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.
• 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.
• 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 pet chew 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.

Seal treats in an inner pouch and use the box for branding, feeding guides and shelf appeal.

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 pet chew boxes recycle more easily. We can add the Australasian Recycling Label to your artwork, and certified compostable options are available for some styles.
