Gable Box Size Guide
Gable boxes are made to fully custom dimensions, so start with your product, not a fixed size. Measure what will go inside, then send those numbers in the quote form and we will size the box to fit it.

All gable box sizes are fully custom (L × W × D). Send length, width and depth in the quote form, in inches, centimeters or millimeters.
How to measure your box size
- Measure the product that will go inside, including its length, width and depth.
- Add a little room on each side so the secure top closure closes easily. If you plan to add a window, insert or divider, allow space for those too.

Three simple ways to cut waste

Custom Packaging Options for Every Industry
Choose the finish, print method, coating and material that suit your product. Our team will help you pick the right mix for your brand and budget.
Special Finishes
Finishing is what turns a good box into a memorable one. Add metallic hot foil, raised embossing, glossy spot UV or pressed-in debossing to highlight your logo and key details, the small touches that make customers stop, look and pick your product up. Finishes can be combined on the same box, for example gold foil on an embossed logo with a spot UV pattern, and our team will show you what works best for your artwork and budget before anything is printed.
Printing Methods
We match the print method to your quantity, artwork and budget. Offset printing gives sharp, color-accurate results for larger runs, digital printing is ideal for short runs and fast turnaround, screen printing delivers bold solid colors, and UV printing adds vivid, durable ink to almost any surface. We print in full-color CMYK or exact Pantone brand colors, inside and outside the box, and every order comes with a free digital proof so you can check colors and layout first.
Coating & Laminations
Coatings protect your print from scuffs, moisture and fingerprints while setting the look and feel of your box. Choose matte for a soft, modern finish, gloss for vibrant shine, soft-touch for a velvety premium feel, or eco-friendly aqueous coating for everyday protection. A coating also makes colors look richer and helps your boxes stay clean and sharp from the warehouse to the customer’s hands.
Materials / Paper We Use
Every box starts with the right board. Rigid chipboard gives a sturdy luxury feel, kraft paperboard offers a natural and recyclable look, corrugated board protects products through shipping, and SBS cardstock provides a bright, smooth surface for crisp full-color printing. We use recyclable materials wherever possible. Not sure which board is right for your product? Tell us what you are packing and how it ships, and we will recommend the best material for strength, look and price.
