The folding carton is one of the most versatile box styles we offer. These boxes are perfect for a wide range of businesses, and can be as simple or high-end as you’d like! In a previous post, we taught you how folding cartons are made. In this post, we’re introducing you to some popular folding carton styles and ways to use them. Read on to learn more!
Base & Lid
The components of this box style are in the name! These boxes feature both a paperboard base and lid that nest together to form one seamless package. Some versions of this style may be able to ship flat, however they may also come pre-formed for extra convenience!
Use for: clothing boutiques, chocolates, sushi, accessories
Drawer Box
Next up is our custom drawer box. Similar to the base and lid box, these are a two-part box that can come either pre-formed or flat! These boxes are perfect for the art of the dramatic reveal. Adding die-cuts can help add interest both through design and function.
Great for: macarons, stationery, perfumes, small tech accessories
Tuck End
Pre-glued, these boxes require simply tucking in the top and bottom flaps to assemble! Though they come partly pre-formed, these boxes ship flat for maximum storage and are quick to assemble! Add a custom insert for extra security, or a sticker to seal the deal for easy ways to take these boxes to the next level.
Great for: cosmetics, skincare, packed baked goods,
Mailer Box Style
One of our most popular folding carton structures is the mailer box style! Shipping completely flat, these boxes don’t require any glue! Following the same structure as our corrugated mailer boxes, these boxes use tab locks to hold everything together.
Great for: baked goods, catering boxes, retail products
