Box Style Library
Aylesbury Box Company produces custom boxes, to best fit the products that you wish to ship, display and store. However, standard box styles are the starting point for all packaging designs. We then adapt these to meet your requirements.
If you are new to packaging, it can be helpful to look through examples of box styles, to help narrow down the options and find something along the lines of what you want to achieve.
Yes, we are a packaging manufacturer, but we strive to be much more than that by providing a personable service, helpful advice and streamline processes.
