Custom Cardboard Boxes With Handle

Packaging is not just about where a brand places its product. It is a diverse factor for businesses these days. Among various types of packaging boxes, cardboard boxes with handles are one of the useful additions to any brand. These boxes offer multiple benefits that include:

• Protects the product
• Supports convenient carrying
• Looks professional
• Reinforces the brand at the point of purchase
• Customer experience
• Portability
• Product presentation
• Brand recognition

When you select standard packaging, you may ensure the protection of the product. But such packaging is slightly awkward for customers. This is because they do not know how to trust a brand that has not even put effort into creating a brand difference among other competitors. Retail cardboard boxes with handles offer a practical solution. They turn a conventional box into a more convenient format. Brands also get catchy prints on the boxes that attract customers and give them product information.

What Are Cardboard Boxes With Handles?

These are paper-based boxes that are designed with an integrated and attached handle that makes holding the product holding easy. Brands can get the handle incorporated in different ways such as:

• Die-cut directly into the box structure
• Folded from the same board
• Reinforced with additional material
• Attached as a separate component

Unlike ordinary boxes, custom handle boxes with logos in the UK have a combination of durability and portability. Customers can carry the boxes without requiring a separate shopping bag. Besides this, the handle becomes a part of packaging designs and gives your product packaging an overall unique look. There are several types of handles used by brands, like:

• Die-cut handle
• Rope handle
• Ribbon handle
• Reinforced paper handle

Besides their use as retail packaging, you can also use cardboard gift boxes with handles in UK. When brands select boxes with handles, they have to make sure that the handle is selected based on the weight of the product. A lightweight gift box and a heavy food item can never have the same kind of handle due to the difference in weight. There are multiple benefits that a brand can get from these boxes, as follows:

• Easier product transportation
• Better retail presentation
• Stronger brand visibility
• Convenient customer handling
• Customizable dimensions
• Multiple material choices
• Printing and finishing flexibility
• Opportunities for premium presentation

Material Types And Subtypes

Moreover, the weight and recyclability, along with cost, also depend on the material types. The common applications of the boxes are as follows:

• Bakery and confectionery
• Gift sets

Printing Options For Brand Communication

Ink Options

The selection of ink affects the colour and appearance of the packaging. If your ink is food then you can prevent the design from fading. Brands prefer inks that are food-grade and sustainable so that they can keep their packaging safe for the environment. Some of the ink options are:

Water-Based Inks

These inks use water as a primary carrier and are commonly used for paper-based packaging like eco-friendly cardboard boxes with handles. Water inks are an excellent option for applications where a lower-solvent printing approach is required.

Soy-Based Inks

Soy-based inks use soybean oil as a significant component and can be considered when brands want a plant-oil-based ink option. You can get your personalised cardboard boxes with a handle for food using soy inks.

UV-Curable Inks

The third and very common option is UV-curable ink. This ink is cured under UV light and gives a durable design with strong visuals. UV ink is one of the highest quality inks used by our company and is preferred when brands need luxury cardboard boxes with handles.
