Corrugated Materials
Corrugated gable boxes (identified by their wavy cardboard lines) offer enhanced strength and durability. These boxes are commonly chosen for weighty, delicate, or shipping-bound items requiring additional buffering and safety.
| E-flute | Frequently chosen, it features a flute thickness ranging from 1.2 to 2mm. |
|---|---|
| B-flute | Perfect for bulky boxes and weighty objects, offering a flute thickness between 2.5 and 3mm. |
Materials
Designs are printed onto these primary materials before being affixed to the corrugated board. Recycled stock options are available on request.
| White | Clay Coated News Back (CCNB) paper, best suited for printed corrugated uses. |
|---|---|
| Brown kraft | Unbleached brown paper, best suited to black or white printing. |
Non-corrugated Materials
Paper based gable boxes come in varying thicknesses (300-400gsm) depending on their size.
| White | High-quality printing results from using Solid Bleached Sulfate (SBS) paper. |
|---|---|
| Brown kraft | Unbleached brown paper, best suited to black or white printing. |
Printing
Choose the color system that suits your artwork and brand.
| CMYK | CMYK stands as the most common and budget-friendly color scheme in printing. |
|---|---|
| Pantone | Prints brand colors accurately and is a step up from CMYK. |
Coating
To keep your printed designs safe, a special coating is added that prevents scratches and scuffs.
| Varnish | A water-based coating that protects less than lamination. |
|---|---|
| Lamination | A plastic coated layer that offers protection against cracks and tears. |
Finishes
Choose a finish to change how the surface looks and feels.
| Matte | Featuring a smooth and non-reflective surface, this design provides an overall softer look. |
|---|---|
| Glossy | Glossy and reflective, this surface tends to highlight fingerprints more. |
| Satin | Semi-glossy, striking a balance between a matte and glossy appearance. |
| Soft touch | Looks like a matte finish but feels soft and velvety to the touch. |
