When to Choose Octagonal Boxes

An octagonal box has eight sides and is the closest of the polygon shapes to a circle. It fits round products snugly, yet each face is flat, so printing, foil and embossing sit straight and the box stands firmly on a shelf. The extra faces make it more complex than a hexagon to cut and fold, so expect it to sit above a hexagonal box on the cost scale.

Choose an octagonal box when the product is round and you want flat panels to carry the design: candles, jars, tins and cosmetics. Choose a hexagonal box when you want a bolder shape with fewer, wider faces. Choose a round box when you want an unbroken print around the wall. Choose an octagonal box over a cube when you want the product to sit centrally with less empty space at the corners.

What to Look for in Octagonal Boxes

• Narrow faces. Eight faces around a given width are narrow. Check that your logo fits on one face, or plan to wrap it across two.
• Fit of round products. An octagon leaves very little dead space around a round product. Tell us the diameter and the height.
• Closure. Decide whether the box has a lid at one end, a lid at each end or a tuck, and how it opens.
• Corner sharpness. The angles are wide, so the corners are gentle. Ask about the board and the fold if you want a crisp edge.
• Shipping. Octagonal boxes leave gaps in a rectangular carton. Plan the outer carton with us.

Where Octagonal Boxes Are Used

• Candles and wax melts. A round jar in a flat-faced pack.
• Cosmetic jars and creams. Premium products that need a tidy fit.
• Tea and gourmet tins. Gifts and sets.
• Wedding and event favors. A shape that feels crafted.
• Seasonal gift boxes. A pack that looks different from a square carton.

Artwork and Printing Tips

• Use the faces as a band: a continuous pattern that wraps all eight faces looks almost like a round print.
• If you use a single logo, put it on one face and keep the faces next to it quiet.
• Keep text large. Eight narrow faces reward short words and bold type.
• Use foil stamping, embossing or spot UV on the lid. Flat faces take them well.
• Use our free octagonal box dieline template to plan the sizes and the artwork. The final dieline is confirmed with you.
