About our gable boxes
The gable box is a box and a bag in one: it stands on its own, closes without tape and carries by its handle. Restaurants use it for kids' meals and catering, bakeries for donuts and pastries, and event planners for favors and welcome kits.
We make gable boxes in any size, with an auto-lock base for quick setup, in food-grade board where needed, printed with your brand, from 10 boxes.
Gable box uses
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Food-grade SBS | Food and bakery | Bright print, food-contact suitable |
| Kraft paperboard | Natural and eco brands | Brown fiber look; dark inks or white ink |
| E-flute corrugated | Heavier products and shipping | Thin corrugated with a smooth print face |
What affects the price of gable boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Size. Larger gable boxes use more board.
- Base. An auto-lock base adds gluing but saves setup time.
- Board and coatings. Food-grade and grease-resistant boards cost a little more.
- Windows. A window adds a step.
- Quantity. The unit price falls steeply as quantity rises.

Food use
For food, we use food-grade board with grease-resistant options, and can specify grease resistance without added PFAS, which several US states now ban in food packaging. Vents can be added for hot food.
