Classic gable boxes are an ideal combination of structure, style, and practicality.

At Print Custom Box UK, we offer fully customisable classic gable boxes that are easy to carry, attractive on shelves, and perfect for both retail and gifting purposes.
Whether you’re running a food business, planning an event, or offering boutique products, classic gable boxes are a reliable, cost-effective way to make a strong impression. Designed for convenience and built with durable materials, they make packaging both simple and smart.
What Are Classic Gable Boxes?
Classic gable boxes are one-piece folding cartons with a built-in handle and auto-lock or tuck-in bottoms. When assembled, they form a box with a peaked roof-like top and an integrated carry handle—hence the term “gable.” These boxes are typically made from paperboard or corrugated card and are used to pack food, gifts, promotional items, and more.
The top closure not only offers additional branding space but also makes the box secure and easy to carry, replacing the need for additional bags.
