Flap packaging boxes use folding flaps to close, giving a straightforward pack that is easy to open, refill and re-close. That reusability suits products a customer returns to, as well as fulfilment settings where boxes are packed and sometimes repacked by hand. The reusability is the draw, so the closure should survive being opened and closed more than once without looking tired.
Choosing a flap style
Flap closures range from simple tuck-in tabs to fully overlapping flaps, and the right one depends on how secure the box needs to be and how it is handled. Made to your custom size in cardboard, the box can be dimensioned so the flaps close flat over a full load rather than bowing outwards.
Fit and handling
- Internal size matched to the product
- A flap style suited to your security needs
- Print across the panels for branding
If the box will be opened and closed repeatedly, a flap that holds without stress marks matters. Order a sample and test the close on a filled box before you commit. For fulfilment settings, a flap that a picker can close one-handed keeps the bench moving during busy periods.
