Measure the finished book, including its spine

Book Boxes should be sized to the closed book, cover and any dust jacket. Share the trim size, page count and spine width, then note whether the item is a hardback, paperback or part of a multi-book set.

Choose a snug fit without forcing the cover

A sample helps assess clearance around the corners and spine. If the carton will be mailed, describe the route and outer packaging rather than assuming the book box is a shipping test.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size box fits a book?

A generic size can be misleading for Book Boxes. Send the packed product dimensions and note any clearance or padding you need; the final inside size can then be checked against the chosen structure.

Which board is used for book boxes?

Board choice is set around the box size, product weight and handling conditions. The exact grade for Book Boxes is confirmed in the specification rather than assumed from a generic GSM figure.

Can I print my book cover design on the box?

Yes, your cover design can be printed in full colour (CMYK) or single colour.

Can I add foil or embossing to the book box?

If the foil and embossing cost matters to the pack, include it in the brief or mark it on your reference artwork. The exact option and price for Book Boxes depend on the structure and order details.

Can I order book boxes as a set?

Yes, boxes can be made for a set of books. Share the set size.

Are book boxes good for gifts?

Yes, they suit gifts and special editions.

Can book boxes have a window?

Window details are checked against the box structure and what it will hold. Include the viewing area and any contact or storage requirements, and the proposed film and cut-out can be confirmed before production.

How long does it take to get book boxes?

The production schedule is confirmed in the written quote after the final artwork and specification are approved. Include your delivery postcode and required date so the delivery plan can be checked too.
