Custom Six Corner Boxes with Hinged Tuck Lids

What is a six corner box?

A six corner box is a tray with an attached lid, cut from one sheet of board. Six corners are glued during production, so you never handle adhesive or tape.

Lift the side walls and the glued corners snap the tray square. The lid stays hinged along the back wall and tucks into the front.

Because it arrives flat, a big stack takes very little shelf space. It sits in our printed and retail box range with other counter-friendly styles.

How does it compare with other lidded boxes?

Several box styles have a lid, but they behave differently at the packing table. This comparison shows where a six corner box fits.

If you want a fully separate lid for keepsake gifts, look at our two piece lid boxes.

What size six corner box should I order?

Start with the product, not the box. Measure the item or the full stack, then add a little room on every side.

For cookies, cupcakes and iced cakes, leave about 3/8 in per side so frosting never brushes the walls. Check the tallest decoration against the wall height.

For gift sets, lay everything out in the order you want it packed. Measure the whole group, including tissue, a card and any ribbon.

For apparel, fold the garment the way a customer will see it, then measure the bundle. A bulging lid looks sloppy, so be generous with height.

Not sure where to measure? Our guide on how to measure a box shows the inside dimensions. Send inches or millimeters and we will convert.

Which board should I choose?

Paperboard is the usual pick for light goods such as chocolates, soaps and tees. It prints crisply and keeps the walls thin.

E flute corrugated, about 1/16 in (1.5 mm), adds stiffness to the floor and walls. Choose it for heavy cakes or filled gift baskets.

Larger trays can use B flute, about 1/8 in (3 mm), though most orders stay with paperboard or E flute. Tell us what the box will hold and we will suggest a board in your quote.

White board gives the truest color. Kraft has a warm brown base, so dark inks stand out and pale inks look softer. The corrugated board flute guide explains the thickness differences.

What print and finish options are available?

The lid top is the panel customers see first, so most brands put the logo there. The front tuck flap suits a short line or a social handle.

Print can be plain, one color, two color or full color CMYK. You can print the outside only or the inside as well.

Uncoated kraft gives a natural bakery look. Matte or gloss lamination suits white board, while spot UV, foil stamping and embossing add polish to gift lids.

Place your logo and check the fold lines in Design Your Box before you send final files. Our designers give free layout help, and a free proof comes before anything is printed.

How do I pack and display six corner boxes?

Open a stack of boxes at the start of a shift. The glued corners keep their shape, so open boxes nest neatly under the counter.

Slide a cake board or parchment paper under baked goods so they lift out cleanly. Close the lid slowly and press the front tuck home with two fingers.

For apparel, lay tissue over the garment before you close the lid. That stops the fold from catching in the tuck.

A sticker or ribbon across the front keeps the lid shut on a display shelf. If you want shoppers to see inside, ask about a lid cut-out, as used on our window boxes for retail display.

Can I ship orders in six corner boxes?

These boxes are made for hand-offs, counters and local pickup. The tuck front is not meant to survive a package journey alone.

For online orders, put the tray inside an outer carton or seal the lid with tape. If most of your sales ship to customers, a locking mailer box made to size is the safer choice.

Many sellers order both. They use six corner boxes at markets and pop-ups, and mailers for the web store.

Ask for both on one quote and we can match print colors across the two styles.
