Custom Gable Boxes: The Versatile Handled Box
Gable boxes are instantly recognizable by their built-in carry handle that folds up from the box itself. This handle-integrated design makes them perfect for takeout food, party favors, gift packaging, and any product that customers need to carry. Teal Packaging produces custom printed gable boxes in kraft, white, and colored paperboard with full branding.
Why Gable Boxes Work
The built-in handle eliminates the need for bags, making gable boxes a self-contained, grab-and-go packaging solution. They assemble flat in seconds (no glue or tape required), stack efficiently for storage, and the large printable surface area gives you plenty of room for branding, product info, and graphics.
