These boxes are more than storage—they’re protection systems built for high-volume, long-term file retention. Tailor them to your filing needs, from shelf storage to deep archiving.

Materials

We focus on sturdy and archival-safe materials for long-lasting support:

• Single-wall corrugated – Lightweight yet durable for standard use
• Double-wall corrugated – Added strength for stacking and heavy files
• Acid-free kraft lining – Protects contents from yellowing and degradation
• Recycled corrugated board – Eco-conscious and reliable for storage

Sizes

From compact file boxes to oversized archive containers, we build to fit your specific volume and dimensions:

• Letter or A4 file sizes
• Legal document sizes
• Extra-deep boxes for bulk records

Printing

Organize and identify your boxes with custom-printed elements:

• Department or project names
• Barcodes and indexing labels
• Logos for company-wide branding
• Color coding for archive categorization

All printed using fade-resistant, archival-safe inks.

Add-ons

Enhance usability with thoughtful add-ons:

• Attached or removable lids for secure closures
• Die-cut handles for easy carrying
• Index panels for quick file reference
• Stackable design support for vertical storage

When measuring a custom box, there are a few technical specifications that must be considered to ensure proper design, manufacturing, and fit for the product. Here are the major technical things to measure a custom box:

Inside Dimensions (Critical for Product Fit)

• Length (L): The longest side of the box measured inside from one corner to the opposite corner.
• Width (W): The shorter side of the box measured inside perpendicular to the length.
• Depth/Height (D or H): Measured inside from the bottom to the top opening of the box. Always specify that dimensions are given in Length × Width × Height.

Outside Dimensions (Important for Shipping & Storage)

• Measure the outer surfaces of the box including material thickness.
• Outside measurements are used for pallet stacking, warehouse spacing, and shipping compliance.

Material Thickness (Board Caliper)

• The thickness of the packaging material (e.g., corrugated board, rigid stock, cardstock).
• Impacts both the internal usable space and external dimensions.

Flap Measurements

• For boxes with flaps (e.g., mailer or shipping boxes), measure:
• Inner flaps: Ensure they meet in the middle without overlapping too much.
• Outer flaps: Allow proper sealing without gaps.

Tolerances

• Account for manufacturing tolerances (usually ±1/16" or ±2mm depending on material).
• Ensure the product fits without being too tight or loose.

Volume Capacity

• Calculate internal cubic capacity (L × W × H).
• Helps in determining how much space the product will occupy and shipping efficiency.

Product Orientation

• Decide how the product sits inside the box and measure accordingly.
• Orientation affects whether length or width is the primary dimension.

Die-Cut Openings or Windows

• Measure exact placement, height, and width for any cutouts.
• Ensure structural integrity when adding windows.

Printing Bleed & Safe Zones

• Include measurements for:
• Bleed area: Extra space beyond the cut line for printing.
• Safe zone: Inner area where critical text or logos should be placed.

Closure Type & Locking Tabs

• Measure slots, tabs, or locks for boxes with custom closures.
• Precision is required to avoid misalignment during assembly.

Packaging Style

• Folds, creases, and scores must be measured for accurate dieline creation.
• Different styles (e.g., RSC, tuck-end, mailer, sleeve) require specific panel measurements.
