As manufacturers of cardboard packaging, we offer hinged lid boxes in both standard and custom dimensions. We have large-size hinged lid packaging and pallet-sized hinged lid boxes in our offer. We produce them from high-grammage 3- and 5-layer cardboard, which makes them characterized by very high tear resistance. At the customer's request, we use cardboard with kraftliner paper, which is characterized by greater resistance to moisture than ordinary testliner cardboard.

Our offer is enriched by adjustable-height flap boxes. The dimensions of such packaging can be changed and successfully adapted to different product sizes. A simple action, such as notching the corners, allows for a change in the box's height. Upon special request from the client, we perform high-quality flexographic printing on flap packaging. This is an inexpensive and durable form of advertising that will allow recipients to identify the sender more quickly.

Before you ask

We've gathered answers to the questions that most often come up at the beginning of our collaboration. If something is missing here, let's talk.

What is a flap packaging and how is it constructed?

A flap box is the most popular type of corrugated cardboard box, consisting of four side walls and two pairs of flaps forming the bottom and lid. After folding the top and bottom flaps along the creasing lines, a closed box ready for packing is created. It does not require a die-cutter, which translates to lower production costs and shorter lead times. As a manufacturer of flap boxes, we design each packaging tailored to a specific product and method of transport, maintaining adequate protection with minimal material consumption.

What are the dimensions of TEK-PAK flap boxes?

We manufacture regular slotted cartons in a very wide range of sizes, from small shipping boxes to large transport cartons with a maximum sheet format of approx. 2400 × 5000 mm. Dimensions are determined individually at the quotation stage, tailoring the length, width, and height to the specific product and logistical requirements. Each custom-sized regular slotted carton is priced individually, taking into account the product weight, packaging method, and the customer's logistical requirements.

What kind of cardboard are flap boxes made of?

We produce flap cartons from 3- and 5-layer corrugated cardboard in flutes E, B, C, EB, BC, and others, with basis weights ranging from 296 to 1050 g/m². The choice of cardboard type depends on the product's weight, strength requirements, and transport conditions. We will advise on the optimal material at the quotation stage.

Do flap packaging require a die?

No. This is one of the main advantages of slotted boxes: they are produced on standard creasing lines without the need for a custom die. This means lower implementation costs, shorter lead times, and no one-time tool fee. A die is only needed for custom-shaped designs and small dimensions.

Can flap boxes be ordered with printing?

Yes, we offer flexographic printing up to 4 colors directly on corrugated cardboard. The print can include the company logo, brand colors, logistical symbols, barcodes, and product information. Personalized printed regular slotted boxes are a cost-effective form of visual communication for every shipment. Personalized printed cartons are a frequent choice for e-commerce brands looking to strengthen brand recognition already at the delivery stage.

Flap boxes are best suited for which industries?

Flap cardboard boxes are used in practically every industry: e-commerce, food, industrial, logistics, construction, and many others. They are ideal wherever packaging economy, speed of execution, and the absence of the need to invest in custom die-cutting are important. They are the first packaging choice for most companies when organizing transport and storage.

What is the minimum order quantity for folding cartons?

The minimum requirements for flap packaging are among the lowest in our offer, as production does not require a die cutter. We determine the exact minimum individually, depending on the dimensions and type of cardboard. Contact us, and we will prepare a quote tailored to your order volume.
