It’s a paperboard box that combines two smart features — a gable-style top with a built-in handle, and a snap-lock base that folds together for extra strength. The shape makes it look a bit like a mini takeaway bag, but sturdier and fully customisable for your brand.

They’re ideal for anything where you want to pair good looks with practicality. Bakers often use them for cookies, chocolates, or little jars. Soap makers like them for gift sets, and they work a treat for event giveaways or small seasonal bundles.

Yes — the snap-lock designed gives it more fixability than a standard folding box. It’ll happily take a few jars, candles, or multiple small products without the bottom giving way.

Definitely. Every side can be covered with your design — even the angled panels at the top. You can go for a matte or glossy finish, add foil, embossing, or even a little window to show what’s inside.
