Key Features
Custom Telescope Boxes — Adjustable Depth Packaging for Variable Product Heights
Telescope boxes solve a packaging engineering challenge that fixed-depth boxes cannot: accommodating products of variable height within the same box format. The telescoping lid slides over the outside of the base to whatever depth the product requires, then holds by friction — no closure mechanisms required. This adjustable depth makes telescope boxes ideal for product lines with height variation, archival and storage applications, and flexible packaging programs.
Telescope boxes are used extensively in archival and library applications, pizza box formats for food service, and industrial packaging where variable content height is the norm. In consumer applications, telescope boxes provide a professional, clean presentation for products that vary in height or require a fully enclosed, seamless appearance.
Full Overlap vs Partial Overlap Telescope Boxes
Telescope boxes are produced in full overlap (lid completely covers the base when closed, creating a seamless cylindrical profile) and partial overlap configurations. Full overlap telescope boxes create a uniform rectangular cross-section regardless of the depth setting — the lid and base appear as a single seamless box. Partial overlap configurations expose a portion of the base when the lid is at standard depth.
Archival and Library Applications
Telescope boxes in archival grade materials — acid-free board with lignin-free construction — are the standard storage format for document preservation, artifact storage, and library collections. We produce archival telescope boxes in standard library formats and custom dimensions for institutions requiring precise sizing for their collections.

Telescope Boxes in Bristol — FAQs
How does the telescope box lid stay in place at the desired depth?
