Tab Lock Boxes

Tab Lock Boxes are die-cut corrugated mailers that close with built-in locking tabs instead of glue or tape – custom-printed shippers for brands that want fast, tool-free assembly on the pack line. They fold up in seconds and snap shut to hold the lid secure in transit.

The tab-lock design speeds up fulfillment because workers assemble each box by hand without dispensers or adhesive, which cuts pack time and keeps the seams clean for printing. That makes them a strong fit for high-volume order desks shipping electronics, accessories, or small hardware where every second per box adds up across a run.

Printing & Finishing

Run full-color CMYK across the lid and panels, then print the interior for a branded open. Matte lamination resists scuffs in transit and gloss adds shine, and a fitted insert keeps the contents from shifting. Ask for FSC-certified stock when recyclable, responsibly sourced board matters to your buyers.
