Custom Packaging Projects We Handle in Montreal
We print packaging for any kinds of Montreal business. Here are two project types we handle often.
A skincare brand in Mile End needs rigid boxes with matte lamination and gold foil. We place the French and English text at equal size and equal weight. The box meets Quebec rules and still reads as premium on a shelf.
A bakery near Jean-Talon Market needs grease-resistant kraft boxes with a die-cut window. Butter and icing mark plain stock within hours. A grease-resistant liner keeps the box clean through a busy Saturday. Both jobs ship inside the standard 10 to 12 business day window.

Does Packaging Sold in Montreal Need French Text?
Yes. Products sold in Montreal must show French on the packaging and labels. Under the Charter of the French language, no other language may be more prominent than French. That rule has been in place since 1977.
It applies to in-store sales and to online orders shipped into Quebec. Products stored outside the province still count if you sell them to a Quebec address, as the CFIB explains in its Law 14 guide.
Our design team can set up your boxes with clear French and English text from the start. That way your first print run is compliant, and you do not pay twice.
What Changed for Quebec Packaging on 1 June 2025?
Generic terms and product descriptions inside a non-French trademark now need a French version. As McCarthy Tétrault notes, that French text must appear on the product or on something permanently attached to it.
A few things are exempt. The name of the enterprise, the name of the product as sold, designations of origin and distinctive cultural names may stay in another language. Stikeman Elliott also confirms that recognized trademarks kept their exemption in the final regulation.
The word "product" is broad here. It covers the container, the wrapping and any document or insert supplied with it. So a printed sleeve or a leaflet inside the box falls under the same rule.
There is a phase-out window to 1 June 2027 for stock made before 1 June 2025, subject to conditions. We are packaging printers, not lawyers. Check your artwork with the Office québécois de la langue française or your own counsel before you print.
Choosing Stock and Finish for Montreal Winters
Montreal winters change how packaging behaves, so stock choice matters more here than in milder cities.
Boxes move from a cold truck into a warm room. Moisture forms on the surface. Uncoated kraft soaks it up and softens at the corners. An aqueous coating or gloss lamination sheds it far better.
For winter shipping, ask for a heavier corrugated flute. Fibreboard loses some stiffness as humidity swings, and a stronger flute holds the stack. Our guide to packaging damage in Canadian winters covers this in more detail.
Two trade-offs worth knowing. Kraft looks warm and natural, but it mutes bright brand colours. Gloss lamination pops, but it shows fingerprints and scuffs after a cold delivery run. Matte hides both.
Top Packaging Products in Montreal
The most requested boxes in Montreal match the city's food, beauty and e-commerce scenes.
Bakeries and pâtisseries order grease-resistant and moisture-resistant boxes for pastries, chocolate and bagels. Skincare and candle brands in Mile End favour rigid boxes with foil or embossing.
Online sellers in Griffintown pick sturdy corrugated mailer boxes that survive transit and look good on camera. Retail shops choose printed custom boxes Canada buyers recognize on a shelf. Gift and souvenir sellers choose kraft boxes with a local, handmade look.
Brands selling across the province often order the same artwork for our Quebec City customers too.
How Much Do Custom Boxes in Montreal Cost?
Price depends on five things: box size, stock, quantity, print coverage and finishing. There is no single figure, because no two custom runs are the same.
Quantity moves the price most. Setup work is spread across the run, so the cost per box drops as the order grows. A 100-box run costs more per unit than a 1,000-box run of the same design.
We do not charge for the die or the printing plate. That removes a setup fee many suppliers pass on, which matters most on a small first order.
