Folding Cartons
Two-Piece Shirt Box
Also known as: Folding carton lid and base box
The two-piece shirt box consists of a base and a lid that slides over it. Both parts are cut from a single layer of paperboard and their corner tabs are glued inward on a top-gluing machine. Even so, they do not ship assembled: the glued corners fold along a diagonal crease, so base and lid ship flat and open up in seconds.
With no rigid board it is lighter and more economical than a rigid lid-and-base box. It is common for shirts, textiles and gifts.
Typical uses
- Shirts and textiles
- Gift boxes
- Shoes and accessories
- Corporate promotion

What you can customise
Every pack is made to order for your product and brand. Each of the points below is decided together at the quotation stage.
- Size
- Width, depth and height are set to your product; a few millimetres of flexibility can reduce waste by fitting the blank better on the sheet.
- Board
- Paperboard coated on one side (bristol), coated paper, or white-front grey-back board; the weight is chosen for the product.
- Offset (CMYK) or UV print; the inside can be printed too.
- Finishes
- Matte or gloss lamination, varnish, hot foil and embossing; each affects strength as well as looks.
- Window
- An open or film-covered window can be cut to show the product.
