Size Guides
Vape packaging sizes for 510 cartridges, disposable vapes, and pre-roll tubes, sourced and charted in inches and mm. Get a free quote today.
Vape packaging sizes split into two distinct product families with different sizing logic. A 510 cartridge box runs close to 5 × 2.5 × 1 inches. Smaller cart boxes can run down to 2.5 × 1.5 × 0.5 inches. A pre-roll tube measures by length in millimeters instead. It runs 98mm for a 0.75-gram cone or 116mm for a full-gram king-size cone. This guide charts both product families. It also explains why cartridge boxes barely change size while pre-roll tubes scale directly with the cone inside them. It’s part of our size guide series alongside our cigarette box dimensions and mylar bag sizes guides. For everything else, our full box size guide covers the rest.
Product Type | Dimensions (L×W×H, inches) | Dimensions (mm/cm) | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|
510 Cartridge Box | 2.5–5 × 1.5–2.5 × 0.5–1 in | 64–127 × 38–64 × 13–25 mm | Standard 0.5mL–1mL 510-thread cartridges |
Disposable Vape Box | 3–5 × 2–3 × 1–1.5 in | 76–127 × 51–76 × 25–38 mm | All-in-one disposable vape devices |
Pre-Roll Tube (98mm) | 3.86 × 0.66–0.73 in diameter | 98 × 16.8–18.6 mm | 0.75g pre-rolls, standard cones |
Pre-Roll Tube (116mm King) | 4.57 × 0.66–0.73 in diameter | 116 × 16.8–18.6 mm | 1g pre-rolls, king-size cones |
Cartridge box dimensions carry real spread across suppliers. The ranges above reflect that variance rather than a single fixed spec.
A 510 cartridge box holds a component built around a fixed thread standard. The connector itself doesn’t change from one cartridge to the next. That’s why cartridge box dimensions cluster in a fairly narrow band across brands. The box mostly needs to clear the cartridge body and battery-facing end, not scale up or down with volume.
A pre-roll tube works the opposite way. Length tracks the cone directly. A 116mm tube exists specifically to hold a 109mm king-size cone with a little clearance at the top. There’s no equivalent fixed connector forcing the tube toward one narrow size band. Move to a different cone length and the tube length moves right along with it, millimeter for millimeter.
This is the detail that trips up a lot of first-time packaging orders. A brand assumes vape packaging sizes work like most other product categories, where volume roughly predicts footprint. Cartridge packaging doesn’t follow that pattern at all. Mixing up the two logics leads to a box ordered off the wrong reference point entirely.
Start with the actual cartridge or cone length, not a generic size assumption. A 0.5mL cartridge and a 1mL cartridge often share the same width and height. Both use the same 510 thread. The length is what actually changes between them. Measure that dimension specifically before ordering a box, rather than assuming volume tells you enough on its own.
Disposable vape devices add battery bulk that a simple cartridge doesn’t have. A disposable unit needs a box that clears the full device length. That includes any mouthpiece or airflow control ring at one end. Boxing it too tight at either end risks cracking the housing during shipping. That risk goes up on units with a hard plastic shell rather than a softer coated finish.
A few Easy Box Packaging products that fit what this article covers.
Vape Cart Packaging
Vape cartridge boxes are printed cartons or sleeves sized around the assembled cartridge or pen. Share the device length, diameter, mouthpiece, count, insert needs, information panels, artwork, and delivery route so the box can be reviewed for retail handling or shipment without assuming a universal cartridge size or compliance claim.

Vape Cart Packaging
Custom vape cartridge packaging is a printed carton, sleeve, or fitted presentation pack sized around the assembled cartridge or pen. Share the device length, diameter, mouthpiece, count, insert needs, information panels, artwork, and delivery route so the structure can be reviewed for retail handling or shipment without assuming a universal cartridge size or compliance claim.

Retail Packaging
Retail display boxes give a product a defined shelf, counter, or checkout presentation while keeping loading and replenishment practical. Choose an open-front tray, raised header, divider, or tear-away access panel around the packed product, visible facings, available footprint, handling route, and the printed message that must remain readable after filling.

Retail & Product Boxes
A retail counter display groups several packaged units into a customer-facing tray or tiered presentation for a checkout, service desk, or compact retail surface. Specify the individual pack dimensions, unit count, facing, loaded weight, available footprint, board direction, print coverage, and finish so the display can be planned around the actual assortment.

Custom retail cardboard boxes planned around the packed product, shelf position, opening route, board direction, printed panels, and finish. Choose a folding carton or more structural corrugated direction after sharing the real dimensions, weight, count, artwork needs, quantity, and delivery route.

Display Boxes
Custom counter display boxes give a product range a defined point-of-sale footprint with a visible front row, printed backer, and loading approach planned around the packed units. Choose the tray or open-front structure, board, print coverage, and finish after the product dimensions, facings, counter space, and handling route are understood.

I’ve seen orders placed off a rounded-up guess on cone length. The mismatch wasn’t caught until the tubes arrived and half the cones stuck out the top.
Multi-unit boxes complicate things further. A box holding several pre-roll tubes side by side needs enough internal width for the tube count. One tube’s diameter alone isn’t enough to plan from. A five-pack box built off a single tube’s width will run too narrow once four more tubes join the row. The fix at that point means scrapping the die and starting over. That costs more than getting the multi-unit width right the first time.
Vape and pre-roll packaging in the US carries state-specific child-resistant and labeling requirements. These affect usable panel space and closure design, not just outer dimensions. Child-resistant packaging standards vary significantly by state and change over time. This guide covers dimensions only. A compliance review should happen separately, specific to the state or states where a product ships. Run it before any tooling gets cut, not after.
The chart above covers the four common product tiers. A cartridge with a nonstandard thread often needs a custom die. So does a pre-roll cone outside the 90mm to 116mm range. Forcing either into a standard template rarely fits well. A product built around an unusual connector or cone length deserves a box built around it too.
Easy Box Packaging builds custom packaging to the exact cartridge or tube dimensions a brand needs. That includes multi-unit boxes sized around a specific tube count rather than a generic template. This matters most once a brand moves past a single-unit box into five-packs or ten-packs. A width miscalculation compounds across the whole row instead of staying contained to one unit.
Vape packaging sizes split cleanly into two logics. Cartridge boxes cluster around a fixed thread standard, while pre-roll tubes scale directly with cone length in millimeters. Measure the actual cartridge length or cone size before ordering. Check state-specific compliance requirements separately from the dimensions themselves.

Questions, answered
Most king-size pre-rolls use a 116mm tube, which holds a 109mm cone with a little clearance. A 98mm tube is sized for a smaller 0.75-gram cone and won’t fit a full-gram king-size roll.
Usually not. Both typically use the same 510 thread and similar width and height. Length is the dimension most likely to differ between the two volumes.
