Die-Cut Handle Boxes – Portable, Practical & Brandable Packaging for Every Industry
Die-cut handle boxes are the perfect combination of functionality and style, offering convenience through built-in carry handles and protection through durable corrugated or cardboard structures. At Print Custom Box UK, we specialise in manufacturing custom die-cut handle boxes that deliver both structural integrity and outstanding presentation.
Ideal for gifting, retail, takeaway, event kits, and promotional packaging, these boxes make transportation easy while serving as a portable billboard for your brand. Whether used for lightweight retail items or heavier takeaway products, our die-cut handle boxes help businesses across the UK stand out in a competitive packaging landscape.
What Are Die-Cut Handle Boxes?
Die-cut handle boxes are cardboard or corrugated boxes designed with an integrated handle that is created during the die-cutting process. Unlike traditional boxes, these containers eliminate the need for separate bags or carriers. The handle is cut into the structure of the box itself, making it ergonomic, easy to carry, and cost-efficient.
These boxes are available in various shapes, sizes, and closures—often designed with tuck ends, snap-lock bottoms, or gable tops. They are widely used for both functional packaging and promotional displays.
