Closed Top Gable Box

Custom Gable Boxes Wholesale: Closed Top Gable Gift Boxes for Beauty Gift Sets

What a gable box is

A gable box is a folding carton shaped like a small house, with a sloped top that closes in a point. The top often forms a handle, so the box is easy to carry. Gable box packaging is popular for gifts, party favors, and small sets. A custom gable box is light and ships flat, so it is easy to store. A gable gift box looks festive, and a closed top gable box holds the contents safely. Gable boxes with handle are a favorite for holiday gifts, because the box carries like a small bag. Gable boxes for beauty gift sets hold bottles, jars, candles, and minis. This page owns the closed top gable style, and the die cut handle page covers the cut-out handle variant.

Sizes and how to measure

Box size is written as length x width x height, measured inside the body. Measure your products, lay them out, and add a small gap. The sloped top adds height, so allow for the roof. Tell us your products, and we suggest an inside size and an insert.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Mini set: about 4 in x 3 in x 3 in
• Beauty set: about 6 in x 4 in x 4 in
• Gift set: about 8 in x 5 in x 5 in
• Large gift: about 10 in x 6 in x 6 in

Paperboard, handle, and finishes

Gable boxes are made from paperboard that is printed flat, cut, scored, and folded into a house shape with a closed top. Thicker board holds the shape and carries a heavier gift, and thinner board costs less. Boxes arrive flat and are set up by hand. Finishes include matte or gloss lamination, soft touch, foil, and embossing. A medium board holds the shape and carries a light gift. A sample kit lets you feel the board and test the fit.

Printing and finishing

Printing can be full color on the outside, with a one color or full color print inside. Plan the artwork for all sides, because the front, the sides, and the sloped top are all seen. Keep key text inside the safe area on the dieline, away from folds and glue flaps. We set up the folds and the cut lines on the free dieline, and you approve it before production. Plan the artwork for the front, the sides, and the sloped top.

Gable boxes for beauty gift sets

Gable boxes for beauty gift sets are a friendly alternative to rigid boxes. They cost less, ship flat, and carry well. A matte coating with a foil logo gives a finished look. Add an insert to keep bottles upright and tissue for the reveal. For holidays, change the print each season.

Closed top compared with the handle style

Labeling notes

Product boxes often carry text such as ingredients, net contents, directions, and warnings, and what is required depends on your product and your market. You supply all text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check text or claims, and you are responsible for making sure your boxes meet the rules for your product.

Orders from 50 units

Orders start at 50 units, which suits a new brand, a test batch, or a small giveaway. Larger orders cost less per box, and they can be planned in several sizes and designs. Share your expected yearly volume during the free consultation and we plan around it.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the box size, the shape, the cut line, and the safe area, so you can see where your artwork goes and where text should stay clear. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
