Gable Boxes

Custom Gable Boxes: Where Charm Meets Function

I still remember my first project with gable boxes. A small chocolatier in Manchester was preparing for Christmas markets. They wanted something that looked festive yet simple enough to be affordable in bulk. We designed custom printed gable boxes with a clear window, letting the truffles peek through. By the second weekend, shoppers were calling them the “little chocolate houses” — and the brand sold out faster than ever before. That’s the power of thoughtful gable box design.

Why Businesses Rely on Gable Box Packaging?

• Built-in Handle: No extra bags needed — the box itself is portable.
• Space to Brand: Every surface can carry your logo, message, or artwork.
• Versatility: Works as food packaging, party favour bags, retail boxes, or gift sets.
• Storage Friendly: Supplied flat, they’re easy to stack and assemble on demand.

From cheap gable boxes for takeaways to luxury black gable boxes for premium gifting, the style adapts to almost any industry.

Tailored Box Designs for Every Occasion

Every business has its own way of presenting products. That’s why we offer a wide choice of gable box design options:

• Cardboard Gable Boxes — sturdy and cost-effective, perfect for everyday retail or food use.
• Clear Gable Boxes — showcase confectionery or gifts while keeping them protected.
• Christmas Gable Boxes — seasonal artwork, metallic foils, or festive cut-outs.
• Extra Large Gable Boxes — ideal for hampers, bulk orders, or oversized gifts.

Whether you need a small run of custom gable boxes with your logo or wholesale gable boxes for a nationwide campaign, we’ve got you covered.

Materials That Balance Function & Presentation

The right stock makes all the difference:

• Recycled Cardboard for standard packaging that balances strength and cost.
• Kraft Paperboard for an earthy, sustainable look.
• Corrugated Card when extra protection is needed for heavier items.
• Specialty Finishes like matte lamination or gloss coatings for added appeal.

We only use board that’s responsibly sourced (yes, FSC® certified), and whenever food is going inside, we make sure the stock and coatings meet the right safety standards. On top of that, our inks are eco-friendly, so you’re not trading looks for sustainability.

Printing & Finishing Options That Fit Your Brand

Your artwork should feel at home on the box, not just “stuck” on. That’s why we use different printing methods depending on your run size — digital for shorter batches where detail really matters, offset for large orders that need colour consistency, and even screen printing for bold, simple graphics. And when it comes to finishing, you’ve got options. Some brands prefer a soft matte feel that looks understated, while others love the shine of gloss lamination.

One Christmas, a bakery came to us wanting their gable boxes to look as festive as the cakes inside — we added foil stamping in a warm gold, and their holiday orders sold out fast. A small boutique later asked for embossing on their logo; they loved that customers could actually run their fingers over it. Little details like that stick with people far longer than you’d expect.

Wholesale Gable Boxes — Value Without Compromise

Ordering gable boxes in bulk doesn’t mean settling for boring. Our wholesale customers often order thousands of units for events, promotions, or product launches — and we make sure every single one meets the same high standard. With no hidden charges, competitive rates, and free UK shipping, we make gable box printing accessible for small businesses as well as established retailers.

A Note on Compliance and Sustainability

We know packaging isn’t just about looks. For food brands, we use food-safe coatings and inks that meet UK and EU standards. For eco-conscious companies, our biodegradable and recyclable stocks help you align with your sustainability goals — without compromising durability. And because everything is handled in-house, your artwork remains secure and private.

FAQs About Gable Boxes

Do you make gable boxes with windows?

We do, and they’re one of our most requested styles. Bakeries love them because you can show off cupcakes or biscuits without opening the box. We usually use food-safe film for the window, so the product stays fresh while still being visible.

Do you provide small orders or only wholesale?

Not every business wants thousands of boxes straight away, and we get that. We work with plenty of small shops and event planners who just need a few hundred. At the same time, we also supply larger wholesale runs for retailers.

Are your gable boxes eco-friendly?

Most of our cardboard and kraft options are fully recyclable. Ask us about biodegradable coatings and compostable handles if you’d like even greener packaging.

Can you match my brand colours?

Yes — we print in full colour and can Pantone® match if your brand has specific shades. We’ve done everything from minimal black gable boxes for luxury gifting to colourful, patterned designs for children’s parties.

What’s the turnaround time?

Once artwork is approved, most jobs leave our workshop in 7–10 working days. If you’ve got an event deadline, just flag it — we’ve rushed plenty of orders when timing was tight.
