In the consumer‑packaged goods world, packaging does more than protect a product – it tells a story. We say it all the time, but packaging sells for you in store when you are not there to educate customers on your product. The colors, structure and feel of a package shape shoppers’ perceptions long before they ever try the product inside. For packaging buyers and marketing teams, choosing the right packaging partner is critical. At DeLine Box & Display we have been perfecting this craft for generations. The DeLine family has been producing corrugated packaging in Denver for over 100 years and has built a reputation for creative design, reliable manufacturing, and sustainable practices.

Custom Packaging & Creative Design

DeLine Box approaches packaging as a strategic tool rather than a commodity. Our design team offers innovative structural and graphic solutions for everything from simple shipping cartons to complex die‑cuts and point‑of‑purchase (POP) displays. We leverage the high strength, light weight, and eco‑friendly properties of corrugated packaging to create retail boxes, POP displays, e‑commerce packaging, club‑store trays and more.  Using a state‑of‑the‑art package design and CAD prototyping system, we create accurate samples for all our orders so your team can iterate quickly on new concepts, test prototypes and refine structural performance before a full production run.

Uncompromising Quality

Creative concepts are backed by rigorous production standards. DeLine Box’s machine operators perform quality control checks on every order, every day. Our Product Quality Verification Process ensures that what your marketing team approves on a prototype is exactly what appears on store shelves—box after box, order after order. That level of consistency is invaluable for CPG brands that manage multiple SKUs or seasonal promotions.

High‑Impact Graphics & Print Technology

Eye‑catching graphics that educate shoppers on your brand are the key to winning shopper attention. DeLine Box treats packaging design as a critical component of brand identity. Our sales and design team work with clients to develop retail designs that are functional, visually striking and designed to drive sales. We offer a suite of printing technologies to match your run length and quality requirements:

Digital Printing: Digital printing is the fastest-growing print method for CPG packaging—and for good reason. With no need for print plates, our single-pass digital press delivers full-color, high-resolution graphics directly onto corrugated board, making it perfect for all your packaging and display projects.

Flexographic Print: The traditional, high-speed printing method used in corrugated packaging plants to apply graphics directly onto corrugated sheets. This is a cost effective option using flexible photopolymer printing plates mounted on cylinders. As the sheets move through the machine, each plate transfers ink to the board. This method is ideal for mid -long runs, with predictable product lines.

DeLine’s investment in digital print technology sets us apart. Our Barberan 1680 digital single‑pass press, which handles substrates up to 66 × 125 inches, can print up to 260 linear feet per minute and offers superior graphics. We achieved G7 Master Qualification, ensuring that colors remain consistent across different printing processes. For marketing teams, this means brand colors and logos appear the same on every package, regardless of whether it is digital or Flexo. DeLine’s Flexo folder gluer from EMBA can print, cut, fold, and glue a box in a single pass at speeds of up to 18,000 boxes per hour. The machine’s non‑crush technology maintains the strength of corrugated board and uses servomotors to cut and slot with extreme accuracy. These capabilities allow DeLine to deliver large orders quickly without compromising quality.

Sustainability & Forest Guard™

Sustainability is not just “a nice to have” anymore; it is necessary in packaging. Many CPG brands are putting sustainability as a core value which aligns with DeLine Box and how we operate.

• We are the only independent plant left in Colorado that buys recycled paper for our production.
• We recycle plastic strapping, stretch film and even print ink, sending scrap back to paper mills.
• DeLine’s Forest Guard™ packaging is certified 100 % recycled and 100 % post‑consumer waste, meaning no trees are felled to produce your packaging. Using 100% post‑consumer waste reduces energy use by 45%, greenhouse gases by 38%, wastewater by 45%, solid waste by 50%, and wood use by 100%.
• Sustainability extends to the production process: DeLine uses water‑based inks with natural pigments and recycles these inks on‑site; paper is whitened without chlorine and the company’s practices save over 150,000 trees per year.

These initiatives give marketing teams a compelling sustainability story to communicate with consumers. Moreover, corrugated packaging is lightweight, cost‑effective, and versatile, supporting efficient transportation and reducing carbon emissions.

Independent & Experienced Partner

DeLine Box is not part of a large conglomerate; we remain the only independent, full‑line box company in the region. That independence fosters agility and personalized service. The company’s lineage traces back to 1912, when I.A. DeLine began manufacturing some of the first heart shaped candy box designs. Four generations later, DeLine Box has evolved from a sheet plant into a vertically integrated manufacturer that buys rolls of paper and converts them into corrugated boxes. This heritage means your team works with a partner steeped in packaging expertise.

Our culture emphasizes long‑term relationships; many customers have remained loyal for decades. We continually upgrade equipment—being one of the first in the world to install a high‑fidelity Göpfert press and later a Barberan Digital Printer to ensure clients receive cutting‑edge solutions. Yet despite advanced machinery, the company maintains a personalized approach: we customize packaging programs to fit your specific needs. For CPG buyers managing diverse product portfolios, this flexibility is invaluable.
