About Our Crash Lock Boxes

Crash lock boxes are very versatile and a great retail packaging solution for pre-packed frozen food, chilled food, deli food, drinks packaging, snack boxes, gift sets, food kits and cosmetics to name a few.

Not only do crash lock bottom boxes pack flat for more streamlined storage, they can also be mixed with a range of other flap styles to create innovative packaging solutions. For example, you could combine a crash-lock base with a gable top closure to create a unique pouch shape, which can be seen in the Whites Fried Chicken Boxes case study below.

Excellent quality and great service

Very happy to have chosen Newton Print to get our new product boxes printed. We had quite a complex requirement... 2 box sizes, split between 15 variations, with varying quantities of each. Tristan (at Newton Print) was extremely helpful (and patient ) whilst we were going through the process of finalising designs and determining the best print options for our products. The final product looks fantastic... and our customers and resellers have said the same! Box card and print quality is excellent and they do our products proud! Would highly recommend Newton Print. Great job guys! Phil T Director EMIAS THERAPEUTICS

Very happy with quality service

Newton Print developed a printed mailer wrap for our sample packs, significantly reducing our plastic packaging and resulting in a stunning mailer that really grabs the attention. We are very pleased with it and have had so many comments from customers who love getting our sample packs through the door now!

More information

What is a crash lock box?

One of our favourites, a crash lock box (aka an auto lock box) is a box that features a base that assembles ‘automatically’ and locks into place when the box is unfolded. This unique self locking base design means no glue or tape is needed to secure the base of the box. This type of auto lock box is ideal for hand filled packing because the assembly is very fast and efficient. Due to their complexity and multi-gluing elements, crash lock boxes tend to have a higher production cost, but that is often more than offset by the savings you’ll make in packing time.

 

What are crash lock boxes used for?

Due to their versatile structure, we’ve found that promotional crash lock boxes are typically used for:

In addition, we offer a wide range of crash lock box printing options to suit your requirements including full colour printing, pantone spot colour printing, compostable and recyclable materials, matt, soft-touch, anti-scuff and gloss finishes, with bespoke die-cut windows and low MOQ’s down to 1,000 units.
