Gable Boxes

You know that feeling when something just works? That’s what a good gable box does. It’s functional. It’s easy to carry. It looks neat on the shelf. But more than that? It holds space for your brand to shine — whether you’re boxing up artisanal soaps, holiday gift sets, or little bags of fudge that taste like childhood.

At Hi Custom Boxes, we’ve seen gable boxes transform the everyday into something giftable, grab-and-go into something gorgeous all without trying too hard. That’s the charm of them. They’ve got that built-in handle, which means no need for bags. And they close up tidy like a lunchbox but way more stylish.  If you’re a small business doing things by hand, maybe even batching out orders from your kitchen or studio, the last thing you need is over-complicated packaging. You need something that gets the job done, travels well, and still makes your customers smile when it lands in their hands. Gable boxes do that. And we make them with you in mind.

From Craft Fair to Flagship — These Boxes Flex with You

You could be selling lip balms at a local market or sending out luxury candles as client gifts — either way, your packaging should feel right. It should match the care you put into your product. Our custom gable boxes are made from sturdy card or corrugated board, depending on what you're packing. Lightweight products? Go for cardboard gable boxes with a sleek finish. Something a little weightier or for shipping? We can do corrugated gable boxes that’ll handle the load without caving in. Want a natural, kraft look that says "eco, ethical, handmade"? Done. Or maybe you’re more about that high-gloss finish, popping colours, foil logos, or soft-touch lamination — we’ve got you covered there too.

The beauty of the gable box template is that it’s versatile — kind of like that one reliable jacket that goes with everything. And when we say custom, we mean it. You choose the size, material, colour scheme, handle style, even whether you want a clear window or not. Yep — we do clear gable boxes as well. Perfect if your product’s too pretty to hide. They’re especially popular for party favours, bath bombs, and yes, even Christmas gable boxes (those limited-edition holiday runs? Always a hit).

It’s Not Just a Box — it’s a Message

Here’s the thing a lot of people miss: your packaging speaks for you before anyone even opens it. That’s why we put so much love into the details. Your gable box isn’t just holding products — it’s holding your story. Maybe you’re sending out samples to a new retailer. Maybe you're wrapping up wedding favours that guests will take home and actually keep. Maybe you're launching your first product line and you want people to say, “Ooh, where did you get that box?”

That’s what we aim for. Custom printed gable boxes that feel intentional — like they belong to your brand, not some generic packaging aisle. That logo? Front and centre. That Instagram handle? On the bottom flap. That special little quote you use in your marketing? We can print it inside the lid if you like. A small touch, but a memorable one. To be honest, some of our favourite moments are when clients send us photos of customers reusing their boxes. A coloured gable box being repurposed as a makeup organiser. A personalised gable box that gets tucked into a keepsake drawer. That kind of packaging builds brand loyalty you can’t buy with ads.

How It Works (Spoiler: It’s Not Complicated)

If your artwork’s already sorted amazing. Just upload it through our quote form and we’ll take it from there. Want to sketch something and have us tidy it up? Totally fine. If you know what style you want, pick it. If you don’t see it listed, no stress select “Other” and drop us a note. We’re pretty flexible.

Some folks just want to start with plain gable boxes maybe to hand-stamp or label themselves. We get it. That low-key, handmade vibe has its own charm, especially for small seasonal runs or market stall setups. And yes, we absolutely offer plain or blank options no printing, just a clean canvas for you to work your magic on. You can go bold. You can go simple. You can go full-on luxury or totally minimal. That’s the beauty of this packaging style it adapts to you.

Just Getting Started? We’ve Got Your Back

Look — we’ve helped indie candle brands build their first launch kits. We’ve worked with bakery pop-ups who needed large gable boxes that wouldn’t collapse in transit. And we’ve done short-run, cheap gable boxes for small business giveaways where budget was tight, but quality still mattered. If you’re new to this world of box styles and die-lines, we’ll walk you through it. If you’ve got a vision but not the files? We’ll help you bring it to life. And if you’re already knee-deep in packaging and just need a reliable supplier for custom gable boxes wholesale — welcome, you’re in the right place.

Let’s Create Something Worth Holding Onto

You do not have to be any expert packager, we should deal with that. All you require is a product you can be proud of, and the feeling you want people to have when they are presented with it. Wonder what your brand will be like in a gable box? Fill our quote form, send us your artwork and we will see what can be done. Other times it is that box that counts. And this? It has the in-built charm both inside and outside.
