Why choose a custom cardboard gable box
Custom cardboard gable boxes are recognizable, practical, and highly brandable. The built-in handle makes them perfect for gifts, takeout food, and event favors.
Because of their shape, they are ideal for small gift sets, bakery items, party favors, corporate giveaways, and retail packaging.
If you want packaging that is easy to carry, easy to brand, and easy to assemble, a gable box is the right choice.
Many suppliers also provide wholesale runs and low cost per unit, making gable boxes a cost effective branding tool.
Custom cardboard gable boxes wholesale
We provide wholesale pricing on custom cardboard gable boxes to support retailers, caterers, and brands with recurring packaging needs.
Bulk orders reduce the unit cost while giving you access to upgraded printing and finishing. Many orders ship flat for storage efficiency and can be assembled quickly at your facility.
If you plan seasonal campaigns or recurring events, wholesale custom gable boxes give you lower costs and faster fulfillment.
Printing, finishes, and creative choices
Our custom cardboard gable boxes support full color CMYK printing, Pantone matching, and a wide range of finishing options including matte lamination, gloss coating, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, and inside printing.
For cardboard and corrugated substrates, E flute or E+B flute combinations provide both strength and a smooth surface for high quality print.
Depending on the quantity and turnaround, we offer both litho and digital printing methods to suit your project.
Custom cardboard gable packaging boxes
If you are packaging food or bakery items, choose a PE lining or grease guard option to make your cardboard gable box food safe and resistant to moisture.

Stock choice and flute selection
Choosing the right stock and flute directly affects stiffness, print quality, and overall cost.
For premium retail boxes, coated SBS board between 300 and 400 gsm produces crisp printing and a refined surface.
For larger or heavier gable boxes, E flute or E+B flute corrugated material offers additional strength while maintaining a smooth surface for detailed graphics.
For food applications, PE lined cardboard or greaseproof stock prevents oil and moisture seepage. With these options you can balance durability, visual quality, and cost.
Design strategies that boost results
- Use accurate dielines to ensure a snug product fit that reduces movement during transport.
- Add a window panel for retail and bakery goods to boost buyer confidence and reduce returns.
- Highlight the handle area with strong contrast so customers use it with ease at events and trade shows.
- Print brand storytelling or discount codes on the inside panels to encourage repeat sales.
- Always consider food safe linings and vents for hot or greasy food items to preserve freshness.
