Popcorn Boxes

Popcorn Boxes are custom-printed paperboard cartons for cinemas, carnivals, concession stands, and movie-night events that serve popcorn and want a box people photograph. Each box is custom-printed in full color and folds flat for easy storage between rushes.

A bold printed box makes the snack feel like part of the show, and a flat-pack design keeps your back room tidy until you need them. Print a retro stripe for a classic theater look, a logo run for a venue, or a themed design for a one-night event, and the box does the styling for you. The open top and tapered shape make popcorn easy to grab and easy to refill.
