Kraft handle boxes are made from kraft board with a handle, either die-cut into the box or added on top, so the customer can carry the box away by hand. They suit gifts, treats and takeaway-style goods where the box needs to travel from the counter with the buyer.
Handle and balance
The handle has to bear the contents without tearing, so board strength and the handle design are chosen around the weight being carried. Just as important is balance: if the load sits unevenly, the box tips awkwardly when lifted. Sizing the interior so the contents sit centred keeps it comfortable to carry.
Fit and print
The flat panels give room for branding.
- Match handle and board to the carried weight
- Size the interior so the load balances
- Use the side panels for print
Ordering and print
The flat side panels are the natural place for branding, since a die-cut handle interrupts the top. If you use the boxes for several products, a common size with changing print keeps stock simple. Share the contents, their weight and how the box is carried when you request a quote, so the handle, board and print can be matched to the load it will bear.
These boxes are made to your custom size. A sample loaded with your product confirms the handle holds and the box carries well.
