What are hinged boxes suitable for?
For all sorts of things! E.g. as
but also for
- Promotional products & samples
- Brochures & Catalogs
- Bottles
- Cell phone accessories
- Household goods
- Textiles
- Data carriers
and much more.
Furthermore, the hinged box is also ideal for open shipping as a
book shipment or consignment, saving on postage. Thanks to the tuck-in closure, the post office will open your shipment so smoothly that nobody will notice this intermediate check on your packaging! In addition, this tuck-in box is a durable all-rounder that is not only useful as shipping packaging, but also as a collection box, archive box or shoe box. In archives and warehouses, hinged boxes protect the contents from light and moisture - stackable, but still accessible at all times! A hinged box can withstand repeated opening and closing without any problems.
What extras make hinged boxes even more attractive?
A hinged box from packaging warehouse can do more than just pack quickly and securely: discover our services and extras for hinged boxes - such as free choice of format, individual printing, laser or die-cut accents and finishes such as varnishing or embossing (hot foil stamping, cold foil stamping). Glossy or matt protective varnish not only makes your hinged box more resistant, but also highlights the printed image. And if you cover hinge-lid boxes with a very thin protective laminate, you not only provide this packaging with extra protection, but also a pleasant feel in glossy, matt or soft-touch. Need a barrier-free hinged box with Braille? That's no problem for us as well.
Why sustainable hinged boxes?
The ideal hinge-lid box ships your products safely and attractively because it is individually designed and equipped inside and outside. Good, but it gets even better: all seven folding box materials at packaging warehouse are sustainable, and many of our packaging solutions are compostable. Once the life cycle of your hinged box is over, it is completely recycled. With a hinged box made from renewable raw materials, you are shipping in an environmentally conscious way. Something that also applies to our inlays and our good-looking filling material, which ensures that everything is well embedded during transportation. In short: every little step counts when sustainability becomes part of everyday company life! With plastic-free packaging and filling materials made from recycled paper, cardboard and renewable raw materials, your carbon footprint is shrinking.
How to design hinged boxes?
Every hinged box is open for creative design ideas. Whether pre-assembled or in free format - you can print your hinge-lid boxes across the Euroscale and, thanks to digital printing, even within a hinged box series at low cost and individually. Making changes within a series because you are working with consecutive production numbers or labeling items by name? No problem. It's easy with the online configurator:
- Enter length, width and height
- Select hinged box material
- Select printing and finishing
- Send us your print file
You can find out what is important in detail when creating print data in our print data guide for folding boxes - or simply give us a call! Every order from us includes a free basic data check. Want to have other print specifications such as resolution or special colors checked? You can also book a professional data check directly in the configurator as an additional option.
Our printing processes for hinged boxes: Offset and digital printing
State-of-the-art printing technology used
We work exclusively with the latest technology in order to achieve the best printing results for our customers. We use two different printing processes: offset and digital printing.
A printing form must first be created for offset printing. This takes some time. The printing form can not be adjusted afterwards. However, the offset process produces the best quality print results.
With digital printing, no printing form needs to be produced. You can send us the print file digitally, for example via file transfer or a USB stick, and it will then be read out digitally.
This has several advantages:
- The print image can be changed flexibly and without great effort.
- There are no costs for a physical printing form.
- Even small print runs can be realized cost-effectively.
- It is also possible to make adjustments within a series.
This is particularly useful for printing a consecutive production number or if items are to be personalized with names or other markings.
Tips for the best printing results for your hinged boxes
There are several factors that are important when creating the print file. We therefore recommend the following procedure:
- select only PDF (PDF/X-4:2010) as the format
- embed fonts or convert to vector paths
- set font size to at least 6pt
- embed images with at least 300 dpi
- set line thickness to at least 0.5 pt
- always select CYMK instead of RGB color space
- do not use Pantone colors (these colors are automatically converted to CYMK colors by us)
- always create black elements such as lines, shapes or surfaces as 100 % K (0C / 0M / 0Y / 100K)
- set the edge trim and safety distance to the punch to 3 mm
Please note that we can not read the following formats for printing:
.docx / .png / .ppt / .eps / .ai / .jpg / .tiff. It is therefore very important that we always receive the print image in
PDF format. This also guarantees that the formatting does not change.
With our
basic data check, which is included free of charge with every order, we check the most important factors before we start printing. The basic check includes checking the data format, font, font size, formatting and color space.
In our professional data check, we also examine the safety margins and edge trimming, spot colors, resolution and line thickness. So if you want to be absolutely sure that all factors are correct, the professional data check by our experts is a useful addition to your order. You can easily select it in the
configurator under
additional options.
