Overview & Specifications

What Is Supplement Packaging?

Supplement packaging is the outer carton around a supplement's primary container: a bottle, jar, tube or set of stick packs. The carton gives the product a larger front panel than the bottle label, room for the Supplement Facts and a shelf-ready shape.

They are part of the Tuck Boxes range. Related medicine cartons sit under Pharma Packaging.

What it has to do

What a Supplement Carton Has to Do

A supplement carton has to fit the primary container, give the front panel to the identity statement and net quantity, plan the information panel for the Supplement Facts, leave space for any claim disclaimer and close the way the product is sold. Each need below is matched to the option that meets it.

  • 01

    Fit

    Fit the Bottle, Jar or Pack Count

    Supplement bottles vary by count and cap. The inside size is taken from the filled bottle with its cap, or from the stack of stick packs or sachets.
  • 02

    Give

    Give the Front Panel to Identity and Quantity

    FDA labeling places the statement of identity and the net quantity on the principal display panel. The front panel is planned for these before brand graphics.
  • 03

    Plan

    Plan the Information Panel

    Supplement Facts, ingredients and business details are placed on the information panel unless displayed on the principal display panel, subject to applicable rules. The panel is sized so the facts box fits at a readable type size.
  • 04

    Leave

    Leave Space for Claim Disclaimers

    A structure/function claim, such as "supports immune health", requires the FDA disclaimer on the label. Panels are planned for the claims the brand makes.
  • 05

    Close

    Close the Way the Product Is Sold

    A tuck end recloses; a glued Seal End stays shut until first opened. Neither is tamper-evident on its own, so any tamper feature is specified separately.
Customization

Customize Your Supplement Packaging

Supplement packaging is customized around four choices: primary pack fit, panel layout, closure and kit inserts. Start with the bottle and the approved label copy, because together they set the panel sizes.

01

Primary Pack Fit

Provide the filled bottle or jar with its cap, or the stick-pack count, for each product size.

02

Panel Layout

Plan the front panel for identity and net quantity and the information panel for the Supplement Facts.

03

Closure

Choose a reclosable Reverse Tuck or a glued Seal End; add any tamper feature separately.

04

Kit Inserts

Use a paperboard insert where a carton holds a bottle plus a scoop, sachets or leaflets.

Ordering

How to Order Supplement Packaging

Ordering supplement packaging takes five steps: share the product and approved copy, confirm the size and dieline, approve the artwork proof, move into production, and ship flat. Orders start at 500 units, with standard production in 7 days from approved proof after the final specification is confirmed.

  1. 01

    Request a Quote

    Share the bottle or pack dimensions, the approved label copy, closure, quantity and number of flavors or counts. Packaging Dock typically responds to quote requests within 24 hours.

  2. 02

    Confirm the Size and Dieline

    Inside size, closure and board are set around the bottle or pack count. Packaging Dock then provides a custom dieline marking the front panel and the Supplement Facts panel.

  3. 03

    Approve the Artwork and Proof

    Artwork is prepared on the dieline from approved files. The proof is checked against the supplied label copy for panel placement and type size before approval.

  4. 04

    Production

    Production begins after the artwork proof and final specification are approved. Standard production is 7 days from approved proof, with rush production available on request.

  5. 05

    Shipping

    Finished cartons ship flat across the USA and worldwide. Transit method, delivery time and shipping cost depend on the destination, order volume and shipment requirements.

Sample note: A pre-production sample can be packed with the filled bottle before the full production run.
