TPP Highlights - Eco-Friendly Packaging

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.

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:

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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can you make vial boxes in custom sizes?

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.

Q: Can you add inserts for different vial sizes?

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.

Q: Are vial boxes suitable for shipping liquids?

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.

Q: Can these boxes protect vials from extreme temperatures?

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.
