In short
A gable box is a carton with a pitched top that locks into a carry handle. It is used for takeout meals, bakery items, party favors and gift packs. Box Sense makes gable boxes in any size from 10 boxes.
The gable box carries itself. The handle is part of the structure, so there is no bag to buy and nothing to assemble beyond folding the top.
It ships flat, pops open and locks at the top, which suits busy counters and events.
How to specify a gable box
- Size and load. Send what goes inside and its weight; the handle and board are chosen to carry it.
- Board. Paperboard for light contents, corrugated for bottles and heavier loads.
- Food use. For greasy or hot food, ask for grease-resistant board or a liner.
- Window. A side window shows the contents.
