What are crash lock boxes?
A crash lock box, sometimes called an auto-lock bottom, arrives flat. Push the sides apart and the pre-glued base folds and locks itself. No tape, no fiddly tucks, and the bottom is far stronger than a simple tuck flap. If you are packing a few hundred boxes by hand, that adds up.
Sizes you set yourself
- Width: 40 mm to 200 mm.
- Depth: 40 mm to 200 mm.
- Height: 60 mm to 200 mm.
Measure your product and choose the nearest values. A slim 40 × 40 mm base with a 190 mm height takes a bottle of hot sauce or a diffuser. A 100 × 100 mm base suits a candle, a jar or a mug. The page shows which combinations are available.
Board and finish
Every box is printed on Technodesign 380gsm, a firm, smooth board. Add gloss lamination for shine, matt for a softer, modern look, or leave it unlaminated. Lamination is on the outer side.
Who uses them
Candle makers, because a heavy glass jar needs a bottom that will not give way. Sauce and oil producers selling at farmers' markets. Cosmetics brands boxing bottles and jars. A brewery boxing a gift glass for the visitor shop. Order 25, 50, 75, 100, 300, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000 or 10,000.

What do buyers ask before ordering?
Quick answers about crash lock boxes.
What is a crash lock base?
It is a bottom that folds and locks itself when you push the flat box open. It is quicker to assemble and stronger than a tuck-in flap.
Are crash lock boxes good for heavy items?
They are the usual choice for heavier products such as candle jars, bottles and sauces, because the locked base takes the weight.
What sizes are available?
Width and depth run from 40 to 200 mm and height from 60 to 200 mm. The page shows which combinations can be made.
What board are they printed on?
Technodesign 380gsm, a firm, smooth board. You can add gloss or matt lamination to the outside, or leave it plain.
What is the minimum order?
25 boxes, going up to 10,000.

How long do they take?
