Protein packaging usually means an outer box or sleeve built around a protein tub or pouch, sized to handle the product's weight while carrying bold branding and a full nutrition panel. Because protein tubs are relatively heavy, structural strength is a real consideration alongside design.
Why Weight Changes the Design Approach
A full protein tub is heavier than most supplement formats, which means outer packaging, where used, needs to handle that weight without collapsing or tearing. We factor this into board weight and structure recommendations from the outset.
Styles We Make
We build fitted sleeves and cartons around tubs, and printed outer bags or boxes for pouch-format protein products. Bold, high-contrast branding is common in this category to stand out against established competitors.
Materials
Coated folding carton board, in a heavier weight than typical supplement packaging, is standard, chosen to support tub weight without adding excessive cost.
Order Sizes We Support
Custom protein packaging is available from around 100 to 250 units, suiting protein and sports nutrition brands launching a new flavour or format.
Average Protein Packaging Prices
As a general guide, protein packaging typically costs between £0.30 and £1.00 per unit, depending on size, board weight, material and finish.
Sustainability
Recyclable folding carton board is standard, and FSC-sourced options are available for brands wanting to confirm responsible sourcing.
Getting Started
Send us your tub or pouch dimensions and weight, and we will suggest a suitable board weight and structure. We build a proof before production and UK-wide delivery.
