01 What Are Cardboard Gable Boxes?
Cardboard gable boxes are folding boxes with a sloped, house-shaped top that closes into a built-in carry handle. They are made from firm cardboard (paperboard) and are popular for cookies, candy, party favors, and small gifts.
02 What Does 14pt to 24pt Mean for Cardboard Thickness?
“pt” is a measure of board thickness, where one point equals one thousandth of an inch. A 14pt board is about 0.014 inches thick, and a 24pt board is about 0.024 inches. A higher number means a thicker, stiffer board.
03 Which Cardboard Thickness Should I Choose?
Thinner board, closer to 14pt, suits light sweets and small favors. Thicker board, closer to 24pt, suits heavier gifts and larger boxes. Tell us what you pack and its weight, and we’ll recommend a thickness.
04 How Much Weight Can a Cardboard Gable Box Handle Carry?
The limit depends on the box size, the board thickness, and how the contents are packed. Gable boxes suit light to medium items. Tell us the weight of a full box, and we’ll recommend a board that fits.
05 What Is the Difference Between Cardboard and Corrugated for Gable Boxes?
Gable boxes are made from cardboard (paperboard), which is thin, smooth, and prints sharply. Corrugated board has a fluted layer for extra strength, but it is thicker and bulkier, so it suits shipping boxes more than carry boxes. Tell us whether the box is for display or shipping, and we’ll recommend one.
06 What Size Gable Box Do I Need?
Measure your product’s length, width, and height as it will be packed. We’ll size the box with a little room so the top closes cleanly, and every custom size is available.
07 What Can I Print on a Cardboard Gable Box?
Your logo, name, or message, in full color or a single bold color. A matte coating gives a soft, refined look, and a gloss coating gives a brighter, high-shine look. We print from artwork you own or have permission to use.
08 Are Cardboard Gable Boxes Food-Safe?
Our boxes use food-safe materials. Tell us whether treats touch the box directly or come wrapped, and we’ll recommend a grease-resistant liner or coating, since butter and oil can mark plain board.
09 Are Cardboard Gable Boxes Recyclable?
Cardboard is widely recyclable. Coatings and liners can affect recycling, so ask us if that matters for your brand, and we’ll suggest options.
10 What Are the Minimum Order, Setup Fees, and Shipping Terms?
Orders start at 100 boxes, with no die cut or plate fees, so you pay for the boxes only. Bulk orders come with wholesale pricing, shipping is free, and production typically takes 6 to 8 business days.

Ordering packaging with my own logo from Aqua Printers was the best decision for my brand. Beautifully printed, strong, and it gives a luxury feel to every package. My customers are impressed every time they open it.

I didn't expect anyone to comment on packaging. After switching to Aqua Printers, customers kept posting pictures of it and our branding on social improved dramatically. It basically became free marketing for us.

Very happy with the final product and it shipped to me quickly. The proof stage caught a colour issue before production, which saved us a whole run. I'll be coming back for more.
