Key Takeaway
Cereal boxes are printed folding cartons sized around a single product line, ordered from a 300-unit minimum in kraft or white paperboard and printed full color to a proof you approve before production starts. A tuck-end or auto-bottom structure keeps the pack stable on a shelf while leaving room for nutrition panels, brand art and a back-panel story.
Production timing is confirmed once artwork and the carton structure are approved. Breakfast, granola and snack brands use this format to launch a new SKU, run a limited edition, or size a product for retail, subscription or amenity channels.
