What Is a Bag Box with Auto Bottom Lock?

The bag box with auto bottom lock is among the most popular solutions for several kinds of small scale retail packaging, especially gift items, cosmetics, and confectionary. The bag box with auto bottom lock has a firm, pre-glued base for added strength and a handle at the top end which comes apart for opening. Fully customizable and brandable, they’re excellent cartons for housing and carry small products.

Structural and Style Features of the Bag Box with Auto Bottom Lock

Bag boxes with auto bottom lock are designed on a single sheet of card or paperboard—typically 250 to 350 gsm C1S paperboard—which we print with your custom artwork and text, before die-cutting, folding, and gluing to make the final carton. We can provide them pre-assembled or flat-packed for storage and self-assembly. Self-assembly time is greatly reduced compared to other box styles because of the “auto bottom” which folds and locks together with great ease.

Which Products Are Best Suited to Bag Boxes with Auto Bottom Lock?

Bag boxes with auto bottom lock are an efficient carton style for packaging smaller, lightweight items such as candies, cookies, candles, stationary, and party giveaways. Equally, they are a popular choice for food items, gifts, seasonal products, grocery items, and confectionary.

Bag Box with Auto Bottom Lock Material Options

Bag boxes with auto bottom lock are normally made of either C1S (coated one side) paper or cardboard. Which materials you choose depends on your design needs and your budget. Cardboard is stronger and more rigid than paper, but C1S paper may be better for full-color printing and customization. Kraft paper is a good choice if you want a natural look or the carton is intended for eco-friendly products.
