Crash Lock Boxes

Discover the Ultimate Convenient Packaging Solution: Easy-to-Assemble Carton Board Boxes

Description

The box that builds itself — no glue, no tape, no fuss

Crash lock boxes are custom-printed cartons with an auto-locking base: the interlocking bottom is die-cut into the box itself, so it snaps into shape in seconds with no glue or tape. Delivered flat, pre-glued and creased, they're made for trade show giveaways, event packaging and point-of-sale displays — in sizes from a single-bottle carton to a 200mm display cube, printed edge to edge with your branding. A real person checks your artwork before anything is printed, and every order helps restore forests through our Print A Tree project.

Artwork made easy

Every order includes a free artwork check by a real person — you don't need to ask. If we spot a problem, we'll contact you before anything gets printed.

Box artwork is set up on a die-cut template, so it works a little differently: download the template for your chosen size, then submit two files — one with the template overlaid on your artwork so we can check positioning, and one with the template removed for proofing and print. Use CMYK only, 5mm bleed on all sides, text at least 3mm from the trim lines, 300dpi, and supply as PDF/X-1a without crop marks. One box-specific rule: keep artwork off the glue sections so the box seals properly. Sounds like a lot? Send us what you have and we'll help you set it up.

Frequently asked questions

What is a crash lock box?
A crash lock box — also called a multi-point or auto-lock box — is a carton whose base is die-cut to interlock with itself. Push the sides into shape and the bottom locks automatically, with no glue or tape, which makes them dramatically faster to assemble than standard cartons.
Do I need glue or tape to assemble them?
No — that's the point. Boxes arrive flat, pre-glued and creased; the crash lock base clicks into place as you open the box out, and each one assembles in seconds.
What sizes are available?
A wide range, from 40 × 40 × 100mm — sized for a small bottle — up to a 200 × 200 × 200mm cube that works well as an eye-catching POS display.
What board are the boxes made from?
380gsm SBS (Solid Bleached Sulphate) paperboard, an industry-standard packaging board chosen for its excellent print reproduction and finishing. It's also odour-free, which makes it well suited to cosmetics and fragranced products.
Can the boxes be laminated?
Yes — choose matt or gloss lamination to add durability and a higher-quality finish. Matt gives an understated premium feel; gloss makes colours pop on retail shelves.
Why do I need to supply two artwork files?
Box artwork sits on a die-cut template. The file with the template overlaid lets us verify everything lines up with the folds, glue areas and trim; the clean file without the template is what gets proofed and printed. Every order gets a free artwork check by a real person, so if anything's out of position we'll catch it before printing.
