What is a hinged box?

When it is delivered, no one can tell the hinged box is a packaging solution. Packed flat and space-saving, only folding turns the flat blank into a solid, three-dimensional box. Ready to store and transport your products safely and present them effectively. For example, by printing your brand message all over the lid of the folding box and/or on both sides. As a real all-rounder, the sustainable hinged box can be used as product packaging, outer packaging or gift packaging. Robust and reusable, hinged boxes protect goods of all kinds from transportation risks.

Hinged boxes for food

How is a hinged box constructed?

Flat and cut in one piece, the hinged box lies in front of you as a flat basic shape. Now you can turn it into a folding box with a lid - by folding and joining. The material is always stable, but still light, and the handling is effortless and time-saving. Perfect when time is of the essence! Hinged boxes are folded and erected in a flash, ready to be filled and sent. In principle, you don't need any adhesive tape, because a hinged box holds together securely thanks to the tuck-in fasteners. Once folded, simply tuck the overlapping sections into the sides of the hinged box. Open the hinged box? It also works in no time at all. You can also see exactly how to assemble a hinged box in our YouTube instructions for hinged boxes.

Hinged box components - which ones are available?

The quickly assembled hinged boxes are not only ideal for shipping light to medium-weight products ranging from small parts to product samples in a pressure-resistant hinged box made of solid cardboard. The recyclable hinged boxes are also available in strong, single or multi-wall corrugated cardboard - including all-round corner and edge protection for the safe shipping of heavy printed products. A classic hinged box made of solid cardboard is sufficient for product weights up to 500 g. For anything heavier, we recommend a hinged box made of corrugated cardboard. Would you like to further optimize the functionality and appearance of your box? Then you can use additional components, such as

At packaging warehouse you will find hinged boxes in lengths from 400 to 700 mm, widths between 27 and 400 mm, heights from 15 to 400 mm and in a range of grammages, i.e. weight in grams per square meter (g/m²). 
Components for hinged boxes

What types of hinged boxes can you get from us?

Customers love our many different hinged boxes because they can be erected in no time at all: simply fold the flat box and set it up! Folding boxes with tuck-in flaps or practical ear flaps not only allow them to be closed quickly and securely, but also make them easy to reopen. Anything works - hinged box as maxi letter box  or  large letter box  for various products or documents. Hinged boxes with an additional safety flap are proven extensions. It prevents the box from being opened unintentionally and firmly connects the lid to the rest of the hinged box.

Hinged boxes as packaging

What are hinged boxes suitable for?

For all sorts of things! E.g. as

but also for

  • Promotional products & samples
  • Brochures & Catalogs
  • Bottles
  • Cell phone accessories
  • Household goods
  • Textiles
  • Data carriers

and much more.

Furthermore, the hinged box is also ideal for open shipping as a book shipment or consignment, saving on postage. Thanks to the tuck-in closure, the post office will open your shipment so smoothly that nobody will notice this intermediate check on your packaging! In addition, this tuck-in box is a durable all-rounder that is not only useful as shipping packaging, but also as a collection box, archive box or shoe box. In archives and warehouses, hinged boxes protect the contents from light and moisture - stackable, but still accessible at all times! A hinged box can withstand repeated opening and closing without any problems.

What extras make hinged boxes even more attractive?

A hinged box from packaging warehouse can do more than just pack quickly and securely: discover our services and extras for hinged boxes - such as free choice of format, individual printing, laser or die-cut accents and finishes such as varnishing or embossing (hot foil stamping, cold foil stamping). Glossy or matt protective varnish not only makes your hinged box more resistant, but also highlights the printed image. And if you cover hinge-lid boxes with a very thin protective laminate, you not only provide this packaging with extra protection, but also a pleasant feel in glossy, matt or soft-touch. Need a barrier-free hinged box with Braille? That's no problem for us as well.

Why sustainable hinged boxes?

The ideal hinge-lid box ships your products safely and attractively because it is individually designed and equipped inside and outside. Good, but it gets even better: all seven folding box materials at packaging warehouse are sustainable, and many of our packaging solutions are compostable. Once the life cycle of your hinged box is over, it is completely recycled. With a hinged box made from renewable raw materials, you are shipping in an environmentally conscious way. Something that also applies to our inlays and our good-looking filling material, which ensures that everything is well embedded during transportation. In short: every little step counts when sustainability becomes part of everyday company life! With plastic-free packaging and filling materials made from recycled paper, cardboard and renewable raw materials, your carbon footprint is shrinking.

How to design hinged boxes?

Every hinged box is open for creative design ideas. Whether pre-assembled or in free format - you can print your hinge-lid boxes across the Euroscale and, thanks to digital printing, even within a hinged box series at low cost and individually. Making changes within a series because you are working with consecutive production numbers or labeling items by name? No problem. It's easy with the online configurator:

  • Enter length, width and height
  • Select hinged box material
  • Select printing and finishing
  • Send us your print file

You can find out what is important in detail when creating print data in our print data guide for folding boxes - or simply give us a call! Every order from us includes a free basic data check. Want to have other print specifications such as resolution or special colors checked? You can also book a professional data check directly in the configurator as an additional option.

Our printing processes for hinged boxes: Offset and digital printing

Checking the print quality

State-of-the-art printing technology used

We work exclusively with the latest technology in order to achieve the best printing results for our customers. We use two different printing processes offset and digital printing.

A printing form must first be created for offset printing . This takes some time. The printing form can not be adjusted afterwards. However, the offset process produces the best quality print results.

With digital printing, no printing form needs to be produced. You can send us the print file digitally, for example via file transfer or a USB stick, and it will then be read out digitally.
This has several advantages:

  • The print image can be changed flexibly and without great effort.
  • There are no costs for a physical printing form.
  • Even small print runs can be realized cost-effectively.
  • It is also possible to make adjustments within a series.


This is particularly useful for printing a consecutive production number or if items are to be personalized with names or other markings.

Digital printing

Tips for the best printing results for your hinged boxes

There are several factors that are important when creating the print file. We therefore recommend the following procedure:

  • select only PDF (PDF/X-4:2010) as the format
  • embed fonts or convert to vector paths
  • set font size to at least 6pt
  • embed images with at least 300 dpi
  • set line thickness to at least 0.5 pt
  • always select CYMK instead of RGB color space
  • do not use Pantone colors (these colors are automatically converted to CYMK colors by us)
  • always create black elements such as lines, shapes or surfaces as 100 % K (0C / 0M / 0Y / 100K)
  • set the edge trim and safety distance to the punch to 3 mm

Please note that we can not read the following formats for printing: .docx / .png / .ppt / .eps / .ai / .jpg / .tiff. It is therefore very important that we always receive the print image in PDF format. This also guarantees that the formatting does not change.

With our basic data check, which is included free of charge with every order, we check the most important factors before we start printing. The basic check includes checking the data format, font, font size, formatting and color space.

In our professional data check, we also examine the safety margins and edge trimming, spot colors, resolution and line thickness. So if you want to be absolutely sure that all factors are correct, the professional data check by our experts is a useful addition to your order. You can easily select it in the configurator under additional options.
