The automatic corrugated lock-bottom box with black card surface material is also a very popular box. Because the color and texture of black card are very high-end, many customers will choose this material of paper to make corrugated boxes. Generally, customers will choose to put their own golden logo on it, which will make the product look very high-end and design-conscious.

Black Card

Visual Elegance & Luxury

Black cardstock imparts a sophisticated and high-end aesthetic, making it ideal for premium packaging. Its deep, uniform color creates a sleek, minimalist look that enhances brand perception for luxury goods, cosmetics, electronics, or high-value products.

Excellent Printability & Color Contrast

The smooth, dense surface of black cardstock allows for vibrant, sharp printing—white or metallic inks stand out prominently, while full-color graphics appear rich and dramatic. This makes it suitable for bold logos, intricate designs, or text that requires high visibility.

Tactile Texture & Durability

Black cardstock typically has a firm, sturdy texture that adds a tactile premium feel. When laminated or coated (e.g., with matte or glossy varnish), it gains additional resistance to scratches, moisture, and wear, reinforcing the corrugated box’s durability for shipping and handling.

Versatility in Finishing

It supports various finishing techniques, such as embossing, debossing, foil stamping, or spot UV coating, which further elevate the packaging’s visual and tactile appeal. These finishes can highlight brand elements or create unique sensory experiences.

Light Blocking & Privacy

The opaque nature of black cardstock blocks light, protecting light-sensitive products (e.g., certain foods, pharmaceuticals) from degradation. It also conceals the contents, adding a layer of privacy for items like gifts or personal care products.

Compatibility with Corrugated Structure

As a surface layer, black cardstock bonds well with corrugated flutes, maintaining the box’s structural integrity while enhancing its appearance. It balances aesthetic appeal with the functional strength of corrugated material, suitable for both display and shipping purposes.

Considerations for Use

Cost: Black cardstock may be slightly costlier than natural or white paper stocks due to its pigmentation and finishing.

Recyclability: While generally recyclable, the inclusion of coatings or laminates may affect its eco-friendliness, requiring careful material selection for sustainable packaging.

Crafts

There are many crafts that can be added to the surface of black corrugated boxes, such as hot stamping, UV and embossing.

Hot stamping: Because the background of the black corrugated box is black, it looks noble and deep. Many customers will choose to stamp a golden logo on the black background to make the product look more advanced and luxurious.

UV: You can choose to do some UV design on the printed pattern. The UV process will make part of the product design look bright, but at the same time it will not lose the color of the design itself.

Embossing: Embossing makes the surface of the box convex in some places and concave in some places, which looks very design-oriented. It is also a process that customers usually choose.
