Custom Gable Boxes — The Carry-Home Package That Makes an Impression
Distinctive roof-peak gable boxes with integrated carry handle for food service, bakery, retail gifting, and event giveaways.
Key Features
About Gable Boxes
The gable box is instantly recognizable — its distinctive rooftop peak with integrated paper handle sets it apart from every other packaging format. Practical, charming, and highly brandable, gable boxes are the format of choice for bakeries, food service brands, event planners, and retail gift brands who want packaging that customers enjoy carrying.
The gable handle is formed from the box material itself — no separate handle component required. When the top is closed and the handle pulled upright, the gable box is ready to carry. The flat sides provide generous print area for brand artwork, product information, and seasonal messaging. Available in food-safe versions for bakery and food service applications.
Gable Box Construction and Assembly
The gable box is a single-piece folding carton that assembles in one motion — the sides fold up, the handle panels interlock at the top, and the gable box is ready to fill. The entire structure, including the handle, is formed from a single flat blank with no separate hardware or components. This makes gable boxes highly efficient for high-volume food service and bakery applications where assembly speed matters.
Food Service Gable Boxes for Bakeries and Restaurants
Food service gable boxes are produced on food-safe SBS board with grease-resistant coatings where required. They are the go-to format for bakeries packaging cookies, brownies, and small pastry assortments for customer carry-out. Restaurants use gable boxes for meal kits, dessert packaging, and promotional food gifts. The print area on the four flat panels provides generous space for brand messaging, nutrition information, and seasonal artwork.
