Materials and Construction Specifications
We make custom tab lock boxes using premium paperboard materials selected for strength and printability.
Our standard offerings include 350gsm white SBS (solid bleached sulfate) paperboard. This provides excellent printing surface and structural rigidity. For products requiring additional protection, we offer 400gsm and 450gsm options that deliver enhanced crush resistance and premium feel.
Kraft paperboard options are available in:
- 300gsm
- 350gsm
- 400gsm weights for brands seeking a natural
- Eco-conscious aesthetic. The uncoated kraft surface accepts custom printing while maintaining the rustic texture consumers associate with sustainable packaging. For luxury applications
- We provide 400gsm coated paperboard with gloss
- Matte
- Or soft-touch finishes that elevate perceived value
All materials are FSC-certified, ensuring responsible forestry practices throughout the supply chain. We use soy-based inks for all printing applications, eliminating petroleum-based chemicals while delivering vibrant, long-lasting colors.
The tab lock design is precision die-cut to ensure consistent closure performance across every unit in your order.
Customization Options to Match Your Brand
Transform standard tab lock boxes into powerful brand ambassadors through comprehensive customization.
Our full-color CMYK printing capabilities allow you to reproduce logos, product photography, and complex graphics with exceptional clarity. We can incorporate special finishes including:
- Spot UV coating for selective shine
- Embossing for tactile dimension
- Foil stamping in gold
- Silver
- Or custom metallic colors
Window cutouts add visual interest and allow customers to preview products before purchase. We can die-cut custom shapes, add thumb notches for easy opening, or incorporate hanging tabs for retail display.
Interior printing is available for brands wanting to extend the visual experience inside the packaging, creating memorable unboxing moments that encourage social sharing.
Our design team provides free consultation to optimize your artwork for production. We'll help you select appropriate color profiles, adjust layouts for proper bleed and safety margins, and recommend finishing options that align with your budget and brand positioning.
Similar customization flexibility is available across our retail boxes and gift boxes product lines.
Standard and Custom Size Options
We make custom tab lock boxes in virtually any dimensions to fit your products perfectly. Common sizes include:
- 4x4x2 inches for small cosmetics
- Jewelry
- 6x6x3 inches for candles
- Bath products
- 8x8x4 inches for larger retail items or gift sets
Our manufacturing partners can produce boxes ranging from compact 2x2x1 inch containers up to substantial 12x12x6 inch packages.
Precise sizing is critical for product protection and material efficiency. Boxes that are too large waste materials and increase shipping costs, while undersized packaging fails to protect contents adequately.
We work with you to determine optimal dimensions based on your product specifications, shipping requirements, and shelf display considerations.
For subscription boxes and product kits containing multiple items, we can engineer custom compartments and inserts that organize contents securely. Nested designs and collapsible construction options help reduce storage space requirements before assembly.
If you're packaging products similar to those suited for subscription boxes or display boxes, we can adapt tab lock construction to your specific needs.
Sustainability Commitment and Eco-Friendly Materials
Environmental responsibility is fundamental to our manufacturing approach. Every custom tab lock box we produce is fully recyclable through standard paper recycling streams, giving consumers an easy disposal option that supports circular economy principles.
Our FSC certification guarantees that all paperboard materials originate from responsibly managed forests that maintain biodiversity and support local communities.
Soy-based inks eliminate the environmental concerns associated with petroleum-based alternatives while delivering superior color saturation. These plant-derived inks break down naturally and don't contaminate recycling processes.
The tab lock closure design eliminates the need for plastic tape or adhesive, further reducing plastic waste in your packaging system.
For brands seeking enhanced sustainability credentials, we offer boxes made from 100% post-consumer recycled content. While these materials may show slight color variation compared to virgin paperboard, they deliver equivalent structural performance while maximizing environmental benefits.
Compostable coating options are available for applications where boxes may be disposed of in commercial composting facilities.
Our commitment to sustainable practices extends across our entire product range, including kraft boxes and mailer boxes, ensuring consistent environmental performance regardless of which packaging solution you choose.
