Plan the contents before choosing the gable size

The EFB-13 Gable Box Template has a peaked handle-top form. Send the dimensions and weight of the item or set, and show where it should sit below the handle. If the contents shift or need an insert, include that layout in the brief.

Use the handle as part of the design

A handle does not establish a carrying capacity; the board and structure must be reviewed for the packed weight.

Details to include in an EFB-13 request

  • Contents, dimensions and packed weight

Review the assembled pack and any contact needs

Check fit, closure and handle comfort with a sample. If food is involved, confirm suitability for the direct or indirect contact conditions before approving materials.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a gable box template?

A gable box has a folded top handle and a flat base. It is easy to carry and suits bakery items and small gifts.

What size is a gable box?

There is no single standard size for the Gable Box Template style. Measure the item as it will be packed, including any wrap or insert, and share its length, width and height so the internal fit can be confirmed in the quote.

Which board is used for gable boxes?

The board grade for the Gable Box Template style depends on the finished dimensions, contents and how the pack will be handled. Share the item weight and use; the proposed grade and any liner are confirmed in the written quote.

Can I add a window to a gable box?

A window can be considered if the chosen structure allows it. Tell us what should be visible and whether the pack has any food-contact requirement; the cut-out, film and placement are confirmed against the final specification.

Can I print my brand on a gable box?

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

Are gable boxes food-safe?

If food will touch the inside of the pack, include the food type and whether it is hot, oily or damp in your brief. Suitability depends on the exact board, inks, coating and liner, so it must be confirmed for the intended use before production.

Can gable boxes carry heavy items?

They suit light items. Tell us the weight for a stronger board if needed.

How long does it take to get gable boxes?

There is no fixed lead-time promise for every order. Share your deadline and postcode, and the written quote will confirm the production and delivery plan for the approved specification.
