Food gable boxes cover the range of handled takeout and gift food boxes, from small treat boxes for a couple of cookies up to large hamper boxes for a full meal or a gift basket. The gable shape carries easily, opens wide for filling, and closes tight, which makes it a favorite for bakeries, caterers, and food gifting. We build them food safe with the coating your food needs, in kraft or white board, with an optional window to show the contents and full color print for your brand. Because they ship flat, they store cheaply and assemble in seconds, so you can keep a range of sizes on hand. There is no minimum, so you can order several sizes in small counts and reorder the ones that move. Send your sizes and how the boxes will be used and we will spec them.

Gable box specification
The gable shape carries in one hand, opens wide for filling, and closes tight. Most of the decision is board, coating and size.
| Sizing | From a small treat box holding a couple of cookies up to a large hamper box for a full meal or a gift basket. Send what goes in it and we will build the die around that. |
|---|---|
| Board | Kraft for a natural, homemade look or white board for bright print. Kraft warms every ink over it, so a design relying on clean whites wants white board. |
| Coating | Specced to the food. Anything warm, moist or greasy needs a grease-resistant coating or it will mark through the board and onto the customer’s hands. |
| Handle | Built into the top, which is the whole point of the format. Tell us the filled weight so we spec board that will not tear at the handle. |
| Window | Optional, and it earns its place on a gift or bakery box where the contents sell the product. |
| Storage | Ships and stores flat, then pops into shape fast on a busy line. |
| Printing | Full color for your brand. |
| Minimum order | None. Order the quantity you can actually move. If you are holding a written quote from someone else, send it over and we will work to beat it. |
| Production time | Standard runs are 7 to 14 business days. Print method and finishing move that. |
| Proof and samples | Free design and a free digital proof before anything prints. Samples on request. |
| Shipping | Free, with tracking. |
What to send us for a quote
Three things get you a real number rather than a range:
- What goes in it, and roughly what it weighs filled. Weight decides the board.
- How many. No minimum.
- Artwork, or the shop name. Design is free.
