Innovative Gable Box Printing for Food Packaging
Add further visual appeal to other styles of box with a custom printed gable top box. Their unique triangular shape is created by a tapered top which, when folded, forms a point that looks similar to a pouch. Gable top boxes are eye-catching and great at keeping products safe and secure.
Designed and printed in-house, all of our gable top boxes are fully customised to fit your unqiue food and drink products. Not sure where to start? No problem, we can design the print-ready artwork for you from start to finish.
We pride ourselves in our exceptional customer service, passionate team and innovative printing to create quality packaging that is sustainable and retail-ready.
What is Gable Top Packaging?
Gable top boxes are a simple cost-effective way to create visually interesting packaging. They have a tapered top which creates a triangular shape which can be sealed with a sticker, tuck-flap, postal-lock or other closure mechanism.
No only are our gable top boxes fully customised to your products, they are also pre-glued on the side seam (and on the base for crash-lock style) and packed flat for easy storage.
Due to their eye-catching shape, gable top boxes are perfect for presenting baking kits, pre-packed pouches, cereals, tea, confectionary, snacks, reed diffuser kits and pet treats to name a few.
We enjoy creating new styles of packaging and gable top cartons lend themselves well to being combined with other box styles. For example, they can be teamed with a crash-lock and tuck-end bottom to create a sturdy base that will keep your packaging secure whilst in transit and on-shelf. Check out the Whites Fried Chicken Boxes below to see how we incorporated a gable top with a crash lock base.
