Description

Detailed information on Correx® plastic gable boxes

Correx® gable boxes – effectively an all-in-one carry box with an integral handle and self-locking base – are arguably the most versatile of any Correx® box.

Often used as a gift box for added value retail packaging (i.e. where the end-user retains the pack for ongoing storage of the product), you can even use them for the safe transit of samples or even in the storage of specialist tools and equipment. These carry boxes are also often used for food delivery (similar to the Correx® moped boxes)

Besides this, as the Correx® material used to manufacture these plastic gable boxes does not shed fibres and – crucially – is easy to clean, their use is commonplace in medical and clean room settings.

Applications of this type can include use for the safe transport of samples, clinical waste, or even in veterinary surgeries. With air holes, you can also use these for transporting small pets and wildlife.

Their durability and longevity also ensure that your business can reuse your Correx® gable boxes many times (typically well over 100 uses) and benefit from considerably improved protection compared to corrugated cardboard packaging.

Custom plastic carry boxes

As with the majority of Correx® boxes available, you can specify and choose from a wide range of custom options when sourcing your plastic carry boxes.

First, and most obviously, the use of Correx® allows you to specify the exact size gable box required. No more having to select the nearest-sized box, which is nearly always too big.

Besides this, you can choose from a range of bright colours (plus black, white, and silver) and add printed branding and information. Print can range from simple one-colour logos added via screen print to full-colour, digitally printed graphics.

You can also customise the inside of your carry boxes.

Interior options can include removable divider sets that help separate items during transit, minimising damage. Foam lining and inserts can also be specified to hold items in place and add cushioning protection.

As with Correx® briefcase boxes, you can select from different handle designs and add windows and cut-outs to showcase the contents (used for retail applications).

You can even decide whether to have your Correx® gable boxes supplied flat for reduced space and transport requirements (you can easily erect them at your business) or fully assembled to save time and effort.
