Types of Boxes

We realise that it can be daunting talking to a packaging manufacturer if you have not ordered boxes before. Our team avoid the technical terms and focus on providing you with information that helps you to get what you need.

If you prefer to be a little informed before striking up a conversation, here is a summary of the different box ranges that you may see on some packaging company sites:

0100 Range – Rolls or sheets of corrugated cardboard

These are typically used to provide protection when products are stacked.

0200 Range – Slotted boxes

This is the basic delivery box, which is shipped flat packed and assembled on the packing line. Tape or glue strips are needed to form into a sealed box.

0300 Range – Telescopic boxes

Formed from two pieces, this is a box with a separate, removable lid; a shoebox is a familiar example.

0400 Range – Folded boxes and trays

These are formed from a single, hinged sheet of cardboard, which folds together. It can be a simple flat wrap or can include locking tabs, handles and die-cut panels.

0500 Range – Sliding boxes

A separate sleeve slides over a central box, a matchbox is an example of this drawer-like style.

0600 Range – Rigid boxes

In this instance, a rigid box has two separate ends, which are attached to the central panel with an overlaying flap. This strengthens the edges of the box, making it more rigid.

This is a slightly confusing term, as the term ‘rigid boxes’ is also used to describe the high-end laminated packaging which was the subject of a recent rigid boxes blog.

0700 – Ready glued boxes

These boxes are glued or stapled at the join. The base is designed to securely slot together to form a strong hold. When filled, the top can also slot together or it may require glue or tape to seal, depending on the design. It is a popular delivery box design and cardboard 6-bottle wine carriers also come within this range.

0900 – Internal cardboard sections

The inside of a box can be fitted with cardboard dividers, cardboard blocks and other features. These help to keep components apart, reduce the risk of damaged parts and improve product presentation.
