Cardboard house boxes turn packaging into part of the gift. The pitched-roof shape reads instantly as a little house, which makes it popular for favours, seasonal treats and novelty gifting where the container is meant to be noticed and kept.
Making the shape work
The roof is the character of the box, so it needs to fold and close cleanly. Size the body around your contents so the walls stay square and the roof meets neatly at the apex, where a tab, ribbon or sticker can finish the close.
Print and construction
- House outline with a pitched roof
- Custom size for your contents
- Full print to your artwork
Board choice affects how crisply the roof folds, so a stock that creases cleanly keeps the shape looking sharp rather than soft. Plan the artwork so windows, doors or seasonal detail sit correctly on the shaped panels, and consider a tab or ribbon at the apex to hold the roof and finish the look.
Made to order from 100 units on our cardboard stock. Request a sample so you can fill the box, check the roof folds crisply and see how doors, windows or patterns print on the shaped panels.
