When to Choose Hexagonal Boxes

A hexagon has six equal sides, and that single fact drives most of the decisions. It wraps round and roughly round products with less dead space than a square box does, and it looks distinctive on a shelf, where a row of squares blends in. It also tiles: hexagonal packs sit side by side in a honeycomb layout, which makes a striking display. The price of the shape is more folds and glue joints than a plain box, so it sits above a standard rectangular carton on the cost scale.

Choose a hexagonal box over a cube or a rectangular box when the product is round, such as a jar, a tin, a candle or a bath bomb, and you want the box to look designed around it. Choose it over an octagonal box when you want a bolder, more graphic shape with fewer, wider faces. Choose a round box instead when you want a single continuous print around the wall. Ask about packing in outer cartons, because a honeycomb does not fill a rectangular carton.

What to Look for in Hexagonal Boxes

• Two measurements. A hexagon has a width across the flat sides and a longer width across the corners. Tell us which one your product has to clear, and we check both.
• Panel width. Six panels around a given width are narrower than four. Check that your logo and text fit on one face, or plan to wrap them across two.
• Fit of round products. The corners leave small gaps around a round product. Ask about an insert or a wrap if it must not move.
• Closing style. Decide whether the box opens at one end or has a lid, and how the closure is held. Tell us and we confirm what is possible.
• Outer cartons. Hexagonal boxes do not stack flush in a rectangular carton. Plan the shipping carton size with us.

Where Hexagonal Boxes Are Used

• Candles and wax melts. A six-sided pack suits a round jar.
• Tea and honey gifts. Small jars and tins in a gift pack.
• Bath bombs and soaps. A geometric shape suits handmade goods.
• Cosmetic jars and sets. Premium products that benefit from a distinctive shape.
• Wedding and event favors. A shape guests remember.

Artwork and Printing Tips

• Use a repeating pattern around all six faces. A pattern hides the six seams and looks like one object.
• Put the logo on one face, with a short line on the faces next to it, so it reads at a glance when the box is turned.
• Plan the lid separately if the box has one. Six sides give a lid with a clear star-like shape.
• Ask about foil stamping, embossing or spot UV on the lid. Flat faces take them well.
• Use our free hexagonal box dieline template to plan the sizes and the artwork. The final dieline is confirmed with you.
