Gable Boxes: Gift Packaging In All Colors And Sizes
If you are a small business or startup looking for a unique and distinctive packaging style, nothing is a better option than a gable box. A gable box is a type of packaging with an angular point top, similar to a gable roof. The base of this box is either rectangular or square, while the gable top can sometimes serve as a handle. These triangular boxes are also called handle boxes or carrier boxes.
MyBoxPrinting offers all types of custom boxes, including gable boxes for all businesses: retail, gift packaging, and gourmet food and beverages.

Milk Carton Packaging
Gable top boxes have been used for milk packaging since the early 1900s. They were used because of their ease of use, and they helped in extending the shelf life of milk. Now, rectangular boxes are commonly used, but the trend of using gable top cartons for milk packaging has not ended. Many brands are using gable top boxes as milk carton boxes due to their functional design. Here, gable tops don't act as handles.
Design And Shape Of Gable Top Boxes
Do you know why these boxes are called gable top boxes? The word “gable top” means a triangular portion of a wall. They also feature a house-like gable top, so they are named as gable boxes. They are designed as a rectangular or square box with a gable or triangular top. You can use the gable top as a handle.
The functional and stylish design of the gable boxes makes them a go-to option for many businesses.
