American Cardboard Box Manufacturer: We Produce, We Do Not Resell
Most companies selling cardboard boxes are brokers. They take your order, send it to a factory overseas, and add a margin. Rapamar is not one of them. Our Tennessee facility manufactures heavy walled corrugated boxes for ice cream shops, gelato makers, frozen dessert brands, food businesses, and bulk distributors across the country.
Buying from the plant that runs your job means one point of contact for specs, pricing, samples, and reorders, and it means your die line stays on file with the people who cut it.

Custom Corrugated Boxes Built to Perform
Cardboard is the everyday word. Corrugated is the engineering. Every Rapamar box is built from fluted corrugated board, an arched inner medium glued between flat liners, which gives you strength, stacking rigidity, and cushioning that plain chipboard cannot match.
- +Heavy duty corrugated board with food safe moisture barrier coating
- +Engineered to stack uniformly without bulging or collapsing
- +Built for cold storage, freezer environments, and repeated handling
- +Custom dimensions, with width, length, and height built to your exact specs
- +Custom shapes, including square, rectangle, octagon, or fully bespoke geometry
- +Earth friendly alternative to plastic tubs and metal containers
Single Wall Corrugated
One fluted layer between two liners. The workhorse build for retail cartons, food packaging, and most custom shipping boxes. Light, rigid, and cost efficient.
Double Wall Corrugated
Two fluted layers for heavy duty bulk, industrial parts, and pallet stacked loads that need extra crush resistance and durability.
Food Safe Coated
Moisture barrier coating rated for cold storage and food contact. This is why ice cream, gelato, and frozen food brands trust our containers.
Common Custom Cardboard Box Styles
| Style | What it is | Typical use |
|---|---|---|
| Two piece tub and lid | A straight walled container with a separate lid, packed 50 per case | Ice cream, gelato, frozen dessert, bulk food storage |
| Regular slotted shipper | The standard shipping box with flaps that meet at the center seam | Ecommerce, wholesale cartons, freight and pallet loads |
| Octagonal bulk container | Eight sided container that resists bulging under load | High volume production and bulk distribution |
| Custom die cut | A shape cut to your product rather than a stock footprint | Odd shaped products, retail presentation, kitting |
