The sample is ivory (C1S board) 300 gsm with matte lamination, on a dieline drawn at the size you type.
Box and handle are die-cut from a single sheet: four walls joined by a side glue flap, a 1-2-3 snap-lock bottom or a pre-glued crash-lock bottom, and a handle formed by extensions of two top panels folded up against each other, with a hand hole or finger cut-out. Handle styles vary: a hole through both plies, domed or heart tabs threaded with ribbon, interlocking arrow tabs, a button-and-slot lock. The box ships flat, is erected, filled and closed at the handle — no carrier bag needed.
Ivory C1S board at 300–350 gsm is the norm for cake boxes and light gifts up to about 1 kg; heavier contents like fruit, wine or tea want 350–400 gsm or E-flute lamination. Brown kraft board at 250–350 gsm suits rustic takeaway, with a PE grease barrier for fried chicken or fried food. The handle carries all the load, so board under 300 gsm tears at the hand hole with heavy goods.
Matt or gloss lamination toughens the board around the hand hole and resists damp, alongside foil and spot UV on the handle and front. A PET or PLA window must sit at least 15 mm from the handle and bottom folds. For direct food contact leave the inside unprinted and use food-contact board or a greaseproof liner.
On the dieline the handle is the two tallest panels at the top, so artwork on one half must be rotated 180° so that both faces read upright once they're folded together. Add 3 mm bleed, keep type at least 5 mm from the hand hole and cut lines, and keep small text off the folding zones of a crash-lock base. Repeat the logo on the handle — it's the part everyone else sees as the box is carried down the street.
Laminated 300–350 gsm ivory typically carries about 0.5–1.5 kg safely depending on size; for more, laminate to E-flute, use a crash-lock bottom and a double-ply handle — and always carry-test a sample with the real goods.
A 1-2-3 snap lock is folded by hand without glue, cheaper but slower and weaker; a crash lock is pre-glued by the maker and springs into shape when opened, stronger and much faster for big packing runs.
No — the built-in handle is there to replace the bag, saving one piece of packaging and one packing step, which is why bakeries, takeaways and event gifts love it.
