Features That Distinguish Custom Gable Boxes
1- Built In Carry Handle
Gable boxes provide an integrated carry handle. While separating gable boxes from many other folding carton styles, the handle allows customers to carry purchases comfortably without the need for a separate shopping bag.
2- Tool Free Assembly
Snap lock constructions generally take 3 to 5 seconds, while auto lock versions are reported to assemble in about 1 second. Neither style usually requires the use of glue or tape during carton assembly.
3- Flat Storage Before Use
Gable cartons are shipped and stored flat before assembly. This design can reduce the space gable cartons occupy in storage, and lower the cost of shipping a large inventory of gable cartons.
4- Material and Color Options
Depending on branding requirements, gable boxes may be produced from kraft paper, cardboard, or clear plastic. White and black stocks are also available.
Gable Box Construction Choices
Auto Lock Bottom
Auto lock bottoms, or crash lock bases, feature panels that are glued and lock during set up. This construction supports heavier product packaging and reduces the steps required to set up the box.
Interlock Bottom
Interlock, snap lock, or 1, 2, 3 bottom styles fold base panels and are popular for their cost efficiency and suitability for typical retail packaging.
Seal End
Seal end styles have glued flaps which increase tamper resistance due to permanent closure. These are often seen in food and pharmaceutical packaging.
Window and Transparent styles
In window cartons, PVC is used for the display panel, whereas in clear gable boxes, the entire box is made from PVC, acetate, or PET. These styles enhance the visibility of the product.
Material Options for Custom Gable Boxes
1- C1S Paperboard (SBS)
C1S paperboard or SBS is used in retail and gift packaging due to the higher quality printing. The thickness ranges from 250 GSM to 350 GSM, which provides support during product display.
2- Kraft Paper
This style of paper offers a more natural, unrefined look for packaging. Its fully recyclable and compostable brown paper style is widely seen in food packaging and gift products.
3- Corrugated Board
E flute and F flute offer a more robust structure to gable boxes and are chosen for products that require extra support during transport and storage.
4- PVC, Acetate, and PET
These materials are used to create transparent gable boxes which fully display the products. They are chosen for presentation boxes, gifts, baked products, and favors.
