Due to recent 'brexit' developments and resulting customs issues, our carriers have notified us that all shipments to and from the UK will be delayed significantly. We recommend utilizing the services of our sister company Solopress, who have a manufacturing base in the UK, for urgent print jobs.
You are looking for packaging to fit your products, give-aways or (promotional) gifts? Then our hinged lid boxes, pillow boxes and (straight and reverse) tuck end boxes are just what you need. You can customize the packaging dimensions to match the exact size of your content. Just enter the length, height and width of the internal dimensions. Packaging is more than simply putting something in a box. Packaging products have many more purposes. They protect the contents from external impacts, such as dust, moisture and light. Many of our packagings are particularly easy to stack, making them ideal for transport or space-saving storage. But packaging boxes can also be used to successfully showcase goods in the retail sector: Hinged lid boxes, for example, can be stacked neatly while five panel hangers are easily hung on a display wall. Packaging is crucial for selling a product as it is the first thing your customer sees. The packaging boxes can be printed all over, so you can use the entire external area as information or advertising space. Whether you print an attractive design, marketing for other products or service tips is up to you. Also there is sufficient space for labelling the contents.
You can use a packaging box not only for goods such as cosmetics, medicines or electronics, they are also ideal to hold gifts, such as flacons or prepacked chocolates and coffee. Your promotional gifts to business partners and loyal customers will appear even more valuable when presented in a personalised packaging. Presented as swag bags at events, packaging products are both eye-catching and practical thanks to the convenient handle.
A detailed overview of our packaging products
(Reverse and straight) tuck end boxes
The classic among the folding boxes is found nearly everywhere: in hardware stores, pharmacies, chemists, supermarkets, factories, electronics stores, sports and toy stores. Thanks to tuck flaps, they are easy to open and close again. This makes these folding boxes ideal for products that are not too heavy. Moreover, the boxes are great for products that remain in the packaging after being purchased and are used bit by bit. To prevent opening before the product is bought, you can apply a small transparent label over the closures.
Tuck end boxes are popular for:
handicraft products
pharmaceuticals
cosmetics
gifts
give-aways
household items
DIY products
small appliances
electronics
software
hardware
food
toys
sports goods
Examples:
Besides pharmaceuticals, tea bags or food supplements, tuck end boxes are also used for household items and DIY supplies comprised of many small parts, such as dowels or rubber bands. Tuck end boxes are also ideal to hold and showcase cosmetics such as beauty creams, hair dyes, soap bars or (not too heavy) flacons or candles. Also smaller items of clothing such as tights, underwear or fitness and sports accessories are often provided in this type of packaging. Light bulbs for lamps are another content often packed in this type of box.
But the customizable packaging boxes are also suitable to accommodate larger goods: software and hardware, small electronic household appliances such as waffle irons, toasters or mixers as well as games and toys of all kinds, such as model-making or experiment kits. Moreover, all kinds of electronics products, such as socket adapters or cables, are neatly packaged in this packaging box. The boxes are also found on supermarket shelves where they are used for hot beverages in sachets, for example. An attractive packaging makes gift items, such as tea, confections or Christmas goodies stand out on the store shelf.
The tuck end boxes are also suitable as gift packaging for product purchases or promotional gifts. They are also useful to create an attractive bundle of give-aways and swag at events, trade shows or for special campaigns.
Note: For products that are a little heavier, we recommend folding boxes with a sturdy 1-2-3 or auto bottom that prevents the contents from slipping through.
1-2-3 bottom boxes
To securely package products with a higher weight, 1-2-3 bottom boxes are an excellent choice because the bottom is particularly stable due to its interlocking flaps which prevent the contents from slipping through. This makes the box suitable to hold also heavier products such as bottles or ceramics.
Thanks to the tuck-in flaps on the lid, the boxes are ideal for accommodating products comprised of multiple parts that remain in the packaging after purchase and are taken out bit by bit, such as nails.
1-2-3 bottom boxes are popular for:
cosmetics
spirits
food
promotional items
DIY products
household items
small appliances
electronics
hardware
gifts
jewellery
decoration
Examples:
This type of folding box can be used to hold bottles containing oils and seasoning as well as wines or perfumes. The boxes are also popular for cosmetics and pharmaceutical products, such as glass containers with creams and lotions. DIY supplies or household items, such as nails, screws or candles, can be accommodated just as easily as electronics devices, ranging from smartphones to hard drives and cameras. They neatly present household products and decorative items made of ceramic, providing additional protection against dust. Thanks to the sturdy bottom, this box is often preferred to pack promotional items from the technical or home use sector. This makes the promotional gift appear more valuable, and printed with your logo, it increases brand awareness already before opening the box.
Hinged lid boxes with hook
You can also securely seal your products without a transparent adhesive label to close the lid. For this purpose, we recommend hinged lid boxes with a hook. They have an additional tab on the lid which is pushed into a slot. This enables the boxes to be closed securely and makes them less easy to open. This may be relevant if the box contains multiple small parts such as nails, pills, food supplements, computer accessories, etc. The security hook makes it more difficult for thieves to steal some of the content.
Hinged lid boxes with hook are popular for:
pharmaceuticals
cosmetics
technical items
software
Auto bottom boxes
The bottom of this box assembles automatically when it is set up. This enables the packaging to be filled quickly and easily both manually and by machines. Furthermore, the auto bottom is very sturdy as it is glued already during production. Auto bottom boxes are therefore ideally suited as product packaging for light and heavy goods alike.
Auto bottom boxes are popular for:
heavier products
cosmetics
pharmaceuticals
spirits
technical and electronics products
food
DIY products
household items
small appliances
hardware
decoration
Examples:
The auto bottom is particularly stable and also holds products such as bottles containing oils, seasoning or wine. This type of packaging is also popular to pack perfumes, creams or medicines that come in glass containers. Or it could be used to pack household items and decorative pieces made of ceramics, DIY supplies, such as valves or nails, and small electronic appliances (toasters, egg cookers, etc.). Auto bottom boxes are particularly attractive for products that are machine packed.
Five panel hanger
This type of box is often encountered in petrol stations, supermarkets, hardware stores and electronics stores. Retailers like to hang products to be sold on display walls fitted with euro hooks. This is a space-saving way to present the products. For this purpose, our five panel hangers feature a Euro-style hole in an extended flap to hang these boxes.
Five panel hangers are popular for:
toys
chemists
electronics
DIY products
household items
Examples:
The variety of contents for this packaging type is virtually endless: At a chemist, for example, the hanger boxes are filled with plasters, condoms or photo products, such as adhesive corners. In a toy store, they might be used to present action figures, building blocks or small puzzles. Moreover, these boxes have become indispensable in the field of electronics and accessories. In addition to ink cartridges, they contain adapters, headphones, flash drives or external hard drives. In hardware stores and supermarkets, they hold fasteners such as hooks, fly screens, muffin paper cups or adhesive strips.
Pillow boxes
Pillow boxes are a particularly eye-catching way to show off your products. They stand out due to their beautiful convex shape which adds value to any product presented this way. This type of box is ideal for odd-shaped or small products, such as clothing, jewellery or even give-aways.
Pillow boxes are popular for:
promotional gifts
give-aways
jewellery
gift cards
pens & pencils
ties & bow ties
T-shirts
confections
Pillow boxes are an attractive way to pack promo items, such as memory sticks, pens, ear plugs or T-shirts.
Thanks to its attractive shape, pillow boxes are also ideal as gift packaging for jewellery and other high-quality goods. Putting a gift voucher for the cinema or a restaurant in a simple envelope can be a bit boring. Using a pillow box instead, will make a big impression on the recipient.
This type of packaging is also widely used in the clothing industry, among others for underwear or accessories (scarves, hats or gloves). Or you could put confectionery, chocolates and other treats in them on seasonal occasions such as Christmas.
Hinged lid boxes
Hinged lid boxes are made of just one part that needs to be assembled before use. No glue is needed to build the box and it is designed to deliver a sturdy packaging box once assembled. Easy and quick to assemble, this packaging type is ideal as shipping carton. These boxes are also popular to pack flat products.

Also this type of packaging is often preferred for leatherware, such as pencil cases and wallets.
Sleeve
The robust packaging sleeve is pushed over a product to provide stability and give it a brand-new look. Cardboard sleeves are a simply way to easily upgrade the content of a box and make your product stand out from the crowd. Sleeves are a clever packaging solution to upgrade merchandise, gifts or marketing material while providing added protection for the content.
You can use the sleeve as advertising space, print an eye-catching design or information on it. This makes this type of packaging particularly interesting for products that do not normally get an extra packaging and which provide little or no space for information and advertising. Books are a good example.
Sleeves are a popular packaging solution for:
books
gifts
marketing material
DVDs, Blu-rays and software
toys and games
jewel cases and picture frames
Tip: A sleeve is the ideal secondary packaging for a set of individually packaged products, such as several DVDs, tea varieties or a set of pens.
Paper brief cases
Made of just one part, paper brief cases are folded together and do not require any glue. This packaging product has a tuck-in lid which makes it easy to close and open again.

brochures and catalogues
documents
loose leaves
marketing material
gift cards
info and advertising material
Examples:
After a sales talk at a car dealership, a consultation at a bank or an insurance company, you often receive your documents accompanied by countless brochures or booklets with additional information or an extra offer. To spare the customer the hassle of dealing with all these extra loose leaves, all materials can be stored in a paper briefcase. Or you could use a paper briefcase as an attractive welcome package including info material and promotional items, such as a branded pen, notepad and sticky notes to welcome new customers.
It is a convenient solution to bundle documents also in other businesses, such as a travel agencies where you can put different catalogues, flyers and brochures about various holiday destinations, activities and the travel documents into one handy briefcase. Printed with trendy artwork, paper briefcases also make attention-grabbing packaging for gift cards as used by cinemas, delicatessen stores or the jeweller's.
