What brands say about our gable gift boxes
Boutique retail and events brands use gable boxes as a gift customers carry out the door.
“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.”
Peaked gable top folds into a carry handle
The top panels meet at a ridge and lock into a built-in handle, so the box doubles as a carry bag. No extra handles, no plastic bags—customers walk out of your store or event with a branded package they can hold in one hand.
See options → 14–24 pt SBS, kraft or recycled CCNB
We fold these from folding-carton board: SBS C1S or C2S for bright color printing, natural kraft for an earthy look, or recycled CCNB for sustainability claims. A food-safe coating is available if you are packing edible gifts.
