What brands say about our two-piece boxes
Gift and PR teams use two-piece boxes for the lift-off moment that photographs and gets shared.
“Our folding cartons print beautifully — the SBS surface makes CMYK pop and the foil came out crisp. Dieline was free and the proof was right first time.”
“We moved our whole subscription line to these cartons. Crash-lock assembly saves my packers real time and the kraft option looks great.”
“The window patch cartons let customers see the product without opening. Retail buyers loved it and re-ordered for three seasons.”
Premium open
A separate lid lifting off reads far more premium than a tuck — customers notice and post it.
