Custom Vial Boxes
Medical products like serums, powders, or capsules are stored in a cylindrical glass bottle called a vial, also known as a vial or flacon. Because medical products are highly sensitive and their chemical properties can change if stored in the wrong place or in the wrong material, reliable and safe packaging is needed everywhere. Enter The Premier Packaging’s quest to make medical packaging compliant, reliable, and safe. Our custom vial boxes with inserts are one of those packaging solutions designed to help medical personnel store products in a safe and sound way. You can choose from small to large boxes for varying product quantities, ranging from 1 milliliter (mL) to 30 mL. These boxes are designed to safeguard many types of vials, including screw vials, lip vials, and crimp vials.

The Premier Packaging has a vast portfolio of custom box packaging solutions. One of our notable offerings is custom vial boxes. We make these customized boxes for medical businesses that need secure packaging for medicines, liquids, cosmetic serums, and other vial-based products. Glass is the preferred choice for making vials, so we make sure our boxes are designed to match the style of those vials, including:
- Screw vials (closed with a screw cap or dropper/pipette)
- Lip vials (closed with a cork or plastic stopper)
- Crimp vials (closed with a rubber stopper and a metal cap)
Because vials are fragile, minor impacts during storage, handling, or shipping can cause breakage, leaks, product loss, and customer complaints. These medical boxes are made from durable materials, feature secure internal inserts, and protective coatings to enhance product safety.
Custom Vial Boxes with Practical Features
We make vial boxes while ensuring the following requirements are met for compliant and customized boxes for vials. Features of these boxes are versatile, including:
- Secure closures
- Custom box styles
- Protective coatings
- Versatile paperstock options
- Sturdy inserts, dividers, and cardboard rack
Secure Custom Packaging for Vials
We make custom vial packaging for medical, pharmaceutical, laboratory, cosmetic, and other product businesses. The box structure depends on what the vial contains, how many units the box holds, and how the package will be handled.
A single vial may need a compact fitted box, while a multi-vial kit may need dividers or cavity inserts. The packaging should hold each vial securely without adding unnecessary space.
Custom Vial Box Dimensions
We make standard and custom vial boxes in different dimensions.
| Box Capacity
(milliliters) |
Internal Dimensions (L × W × H)
(Inches) |
External Dimensions (L × W × H)
(Inches) |
| Small (2ml) | 0.6″ × 0.6″ × 1.75″ | 0.65″ × 0.65″ × 1.85″ |
| Medium (5ml) | 0.9″ × 0.9″ × 2.0″ | 0.95″ × 0.95″ × 2.1″ |
| Large (10ml) | 1.1″ × 1.1″ × 2.5″ | 1.15″ × 1.15″ × 2.6″ |
| Extra-Large (30ml) | 1.4″ × 1.4″ × 3.5″ | 1.45″ × 1.45″ × 3.6″ |
For an exact product fit, share dimensional information of the intended vial you want to package inside the boxes we’ll make for you.
Choose the Right Vial Box Style
The box structure depends on how your vials or McCartney’s bottles need to be packed, stored, accessed, and presented. Choose from our versatile box styles for different applications:
- Shoulder Neck Rigid Boxes
- Straight Tuck-End Boxes
- Auto Bottom Boxes
- Hinged Lid Boxes
- Two-Piece Boxes
- Reverse Tuck-End Boxes
- Sleeve and Tray Boxes
- Display/Countertop Boxes
- Magnetic Closure Rigid Boxes
We can customize these structures around your vial dimensions. Small autosampler vials can be as small as 300µL, while larger multi-dose vials can reach 100mL.
Sturdy Box Add-ons: Custom Inserts, Dividers, and Cavity Trays
Remember that your vials are made of glass and are prone to shipping damage. That movement increases the risk of scratches, cracks, and breakage during handling and shipping. Fear not. Our vial packaging solutions include sturdy internal inserts, dividers, and trays for secure product shipment.
You can easily secure vials without flat bottoms, i.e small hinge-cap or snap-top vials. Choose from:
- Custom die-cut cardboard
- Multi-vial partition grids
- Precise cavity trays
- Protective foam liners
- Plastic-free paper inserts
We size the cavities and dividers around your vial dimensions. This keeps individual units separated and reduces vial-to-vial contact inside these custom vial boxes.
Choose the Right Material
Material choice depends on vial weight, box size, structure, protection requirements, and presentation. Choose from:
- Paperboard and cardstock work for lightweight vial packaging where print quality and a clean surface matter.
- Kraft board provides a paper-based packaging option with a natural appearance.
- Fluted corrugated provides additional structural support when the package needs more resistance to pressure and impact.
- Rigid stock is ideal for premium vial packaging, where the box needs a firm structure and a higher-end presentation.
The right material provides the box with sufficient strength for its application without adding unnecessary bulk.
Branded Vial Boxes with Product Information
Vial packaging often needs to carry product information as well as branding. That means the printed areas must leave enough room for required details without making the package difficult to read.
We use digital and offset printing to apply your artwork, including:
- Dosage details
- Expiration dates
- Batch numbers
- Scannable barcodes
- Handling instructions
- Other required information
Your logo, product name, graphics, and brand elements can occupy the remaining visible areas.
We also offer finishing options such as:
- Embossing and debossing
- Spot UV coating
- Foil stamping
- Matte and gloss lamination
The printing and finish should support the information hierarchy. Product details need to remain readable while the branding gives the box a professional appearance.
Custom Boxes for Laboratory Purposes
Vial packaging is required for small liquid laboratory samples stored in low-temperature environments to protect from cold and moisture. Standard paperboard can absorb moisture, lose its shape, or become difficult to handle in these conditions.
We make custom boxes using reinforced materials, often called cryo-boards. This material is treated for ultra-low-temperature applications while maintaining its strength and structure.
We can also use moisture-resistant laminated coatings for enhanced medical applications. These custom coating options help reduce water absorption and frost buildup.

Aqueous Coating
A clear, water-based coating that dries quickly and protects printed surfaces to improve surface appearance.
UV Coating
A liquid coating that is cured instantly with ultraviolet light to create scuff-resistant matte surface.
Spot UV Coating
A UV coating applied only to selected areas (like logos or text). Used for contrast and visual impact.
Soft Touch Coating
A coating that creates a smooth, velvet like feel to add a premium tactile experience. Can slightly reduce scratch resistance if not laminated.
Varnish
A thin, clear liquid coating applied during printing using the printing press (CMYK process).
Lamination
A plastic film bonded to the printed surface for strong protection against moisture, tearing, and wear.
Anti-Scratch Lamination
A special BOPP film lamination designed to resist scratches and scuffs to prevent fingerprints and surface marks.
Soft Touch / Silk Lamination
A laminated film with a silky, peach-skin texture that feels soft and luxurious in hand.
Offset Printing
It utilizes metal plates and a rubber blanket to transfer ink to paper. It’s ideal for large runs to get sharp detail and color consistency.
Digital Printing
Prints directly from digital files without plates. Ideal for short runs, fast turnaround, and cost-effective small quantities.
UV Printing
Ink is cured instantly using UV light, creating durable prints with gloss or raised effects on coated and specialty surfaces.
Water-based Ink
Made with water and pigments instead of solvents. More eco-friendly than oil inks, commonly used in paper packaging.
Soy / Vegetable Ink
Uses soy or vegetable oils with pigments. Offers vibrant color and lower VOCs, but not fully impact-free.
Oil Based Ink
Petroleum-based ink that delivers rich, durable color. Traditional and effective, but less sustainable and harder to recycle.
Pantone (PMS Colors)
Standardized color system using exact ink formulas to ensure consistent and accurate brand colors across print jobs.
Pantone Metallic
Pantone inks with metallic particles for shiny finishes. Used for premium looks but can reduce recyclability.
SBS C1S
Premium bleached white board, coated on one side for sharp prints. Recyclable; biodegradable if coating is eco-friendly.
SBS C2S
Premium bleached white board, coated on both sides for quality prints inside and out. Coating affects its biodegradability.
CCNB
Duplex board with white front and gray back, mostly recycled. Clay coating may limit biodegradability.
Fully Recycled CCNB
Board from 100% recycled fiber, coated on one side. Recyclable; coating may affect biodegradability.
Natural Brown Kraft
Brown kraft board from virgin and recycled pulp. Strong, eco-friendly, mostly uncoated. Recyclable & biodegradable.
White Kraft
Bleached kraft board from virgin and recycled pulp. Coated or uncoated; recyclable, biodegradable if coating is eco-safe.
Black Kraft
Black-dyed kraft from virgin and recycled pulp. Recyclability depends on dye/coating; less biodegradable than natural kraft.
Uncoated Unbleached Kraft
Natural kraft board, no bleaching or coating. Fully recyclable, fully biodegradable, very sustainable.
Hot Foil Stamping
A printing process where metallic or pigmented foil is transferred onto a surface using heat and pressure to create a shiny, decorative effect.
Cold Foil Printing
Foil is transferred onto a surface without heat using UV-curable adhesives and a printing press. Suitable for high-speed commercial printing and flexible materials.
Blind Embossing
A design is raised on a surface without any foil or color, using a die pressed from the front side of the material. This creates a subtle, tactile effect.
Blind Debossing
A design is pressed inward into the material from the front side, creating an indented effect without foil or ink.
Registered Embossing
Embossing that aligns precisely with another printed element (like a logo or foil). Ensures the raised design matches the printed artwork.
Combination Embossing
Embossing combined with foil stamping in a single pass. Produces a raised design that also has a metallic or colored foil finish.
Window Patching
A die-cut opening on packaging is covered with a thin plastic film. Give customers a chance to see the inside of packaging for visibility purposes.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: Yes. We size the box around your vial dimensions, quantity, orientation, and internal protection requirements. Custom dimensions also help reduce unnecessary empty space inside the package.
A: Yes. We make custom inserts for different vial dimensions and quantities. The insert can hold each vial separately to reduce movement and vial-to-vial contact.
A: Our vial boxes are designed to keep liquid-filled vials secure during shipping. For products subject to specific shipping requirements, additional secondary packaging and absorbent materials may be needed.
A: The box material can provide structural protection during storage and shipping, but packaging alone does not provide temperature control. Products requiring controlled temperatures may need insulated liners, cooling packs, or other temperature-control packaging.
