Tab Lock Boxes

Industry-grade custom tab lock boxes with precision die-cut construction, full-color logo printing, and fast nationwide fulfillment tailored for your brand and your budget.

What Are Custom Tab Lock Boxes?

Custom tab lock boxes are die-cut cartons engineered with interlocking tabs that fold and lock together no glue or tape required. They offer a secure, professional closure ideal for retail, e-commerce, food, cosmetic, and subscription packaging, and can be fully printed with your brand’s logo and design.

Your Packaging Is Costing You More Than You Think

Flimsy boxes that open in transit. Generic packaging that tells customers nothing about your brand. Suppliers with sky-high minimums and unpredictable lead times. These are the hidden costs that chip away at customer trust, return rates, and reorder value. You deserve better.

At ONO Custom Boxes, we engineer custom tab lock packaging that solves all three. Our self-locking carton technology delivers a crisp, tamper-resistant seal without tape while our in-house printing brings your brand identity to every surface. Whether you’re shipping 250 units or 250,000, we produce packaging that performs on the shelf and in the mail.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the minimum order quantity for custom tab lock boxes?

Our minimum order quantities vary by box style and material, but we offer low minimums typically starting from 100–500 units to accommodate growing brands and product launches. Larger volumes benefit from significantly reduced per-unit pricing. Contact us with your specifications for an accurate MOQ and quote.

How long does production take for custom printed tab lock boxes?

Standard production turnaround is 10–14 business days from artwork approval, with a digital proof delivered within 48 hours of order confirmation. Rush production is available for urgent timelines. Shipping transit time varies by destination within the United States and is calculated at the time of your order.

Can I get a sample before committing to a full order?

Yes. We offer physical pre-production samples for review before full production begins. A nominal fee applies, which is typically credited toward your full order. This step is especially recommended for first-time orders or structural designs requiring fit testing.

What file formats do you accept for artwork and logo printing?

We accept vector files in AI, EPS, and PDF formats. High-resolution raster files at 300 DPI minimum in PSD, TIFF, or PNG are also accepted. If you only have a low-resolution logo, our in-house design team can assist with redraws or artwork preparation at a nominal cost.

Are your tab lock boxes suitable for heavy or fragile products?

Absolutely. We offer single-wall and double-wall corrugated construction in various ECT ratings, along with heavy-duty kraft board options for demanding applications. For fragile items, we can engineer interior inserts, foam padding slots, and compartment dividers as part of the same packaging solution.

Do you offer eco-friendly or sustainable tab lock packaging options?

Yes. We offer FSC-certified paperboard, recycled corrugated materials, soy-based inks, and water-based coatings as sustainable alternatives. Our team can help you select materials that meet your environmental commitments while maintaining the structural integrity and print quality your brand requires.

What’s the difference between tab lock mailer boxes and standard tab lock boxes?

Tab lock mailer boxes are specifically engineered for direct-to-consumer shipping featuring reinforced walls and a locking closure that withstands carrier handling without tape. Standard tab lock boxes are typically designed for retail shelf display or light-duty secondary packaging. We’ll help you determine the right format based on your product, shipping method, and brand presentation goals.
