Finalize your design
Sizes, materials, finishes, and artwork are locked in. You review the proof carefully and approve when every detail matches your brief.
Our 5 oz popcorn boxes hit the sweet spot between a nibble and a meal, holding roughly one generous single serving without towering over the counter. This capacity suits movie snack bars, kids parties, and concession lines where guests want a satisfying handful they can finish. Every carton opens wide for easy scooping and stands upright even when packed to the brim.
At The Packaging Masters we build each 5 oz popcorn box from food-grade SBS with a grease-resistant, oil-blocking barrier that keeps buttery kernels crisp and fingers clean. Pair the crunch-protecting liner with sturdy tab-lock walls for spill-free carrying. Choose a rugged upgrade with our grease-resistant popcorn boxes or size up to our 6 oz popcorn boxes for slightly hungrier crowds.

Guessing capacity is where most snack bars lose money and patience. Overfill a flimsy carton and grease bleeds through the seams; underfill an oversized box and customers feel shortchanged. Our 5 oz popcorn boxes solve both problems with a footprint tuned to hold a satisfying single serving of popped kernels, roughly a cup and a half, without slumping or spilling as guests walk away.
Because portioning stays consistent, your staff pours the same volume every time and your margins stay predictable across a busy shift. The wide open top makes scooping fast, while the reinforced base resists sagging even when hot, freshly buttered popcorn hits the walls. That structural discipline is exactly why event caterers keep reordering this size.

A plain white carton disappears; a printed one becomes a walking advertisement. Many vendors overlook how much visual real estate a snack-size box offers, then wonder why nobody remembers their stand. We treat every panel as a canvas, printing edge to edge with soy and water-based inks so your logo, colors, and taglines land crisp in daylight or under theater lighting.
Choose gloss or matte lamination, add spot UV to make a hero graphic gleam, or wrap the whole carton in a soft-touch finish that feels premium in the hand. Foil stamping and embossing turn an ordinary treat box into something guests photograph and share. Whatever direction you pick, the barrier coating still guards freshness underneath the artwork.

This size earns its keep anywhere a single-serve snack keeps lines moving. Cinemas hand them out at the concession window; birthday hosts fill them as grab-and-go favors; classroom fundraisers stack them by the hundred because they price well in bulk. The 5 oz footprint fits standard cup holders and lunch trays, so guests never fumble their snack while balancing a drink.
Home theater fans love that these cartons feel like a real cinema experience without the mess of a shared bowl. Sports leagues and school carnivals appreciate that the tab-lock closure keeps kernels contained when kids run between activities. Because the walls resist grease, a warm buttered fill will not turn translucent or leak onto tablecloths and jerseys.
Match the moment with our popcorn snack boxes range, or reinforce the walls further using our kraft-based kraft popcorn boxes. Ready to order? Start building your spec now.
Start Your QuoteFreshness starts with the board. The Packaging Masters sources FSC-certified, food-grade SBS and kraft stock rated for direct contact with oily, salted snacks, then adds a grease-resistant and moisture-resistant barrier so condensation never softens the walls. That combination keeps popcorn audibly crunchy from the first pour to the last handful.
Sustainability runs through the whole build. Our boards are recyclable and compostable options are available, and we print exclusively with soy and water-based inks that skip harsh solvents. You get shelf-ready branding and a lighter environmental footprint without paying a green premium. Every order also ships with free samples on request so you can test the crunch protection yourself.
