Tray Box
The tray is a versatile and functional packaging with a simple, open shape, ideal for displaying and storing products. It works perfectly both as a standalone package and as part of a set. Printing allows the tray's appearance to be matched to the brand's visual identity, making it an aesthetic medium for visual communication. The tray can be elegantly covered with cellophane and tied with a ribbon, creating an impressive gift package.
Packaging for Your Brand
The contemporary market demands packaging that not only protects the product but also builds the brand image – from elegant premium boxes, through practical gadget packaging, to aesthetic solutions for the food, cosmetic, gadget, or HoReCa industries.
Our boxes are an economical and convenient solution with the possibility of ordering from a few pieces to several thousand pieces.
We offer printed cardboard boxes, produced on GC1 boards and on decorative papers with a weight of 200–400 g/m². These are lightweight materials, usually smooth and excellent for printing, ideal for small and medium packaging. Due to the properties of the cardboard, the maximum dimensions of the packages are approx. length/width 150-180mm, height 50-90mm. If dimensions too large or too small are introduced, the calculator will inform you.
Application
The tray box is an excellent package for product presentation, packing promotional sets, sweets, cosmetics, or gifts. It also works great as an exhibition package or an internal box in product sets.
Packaging is the first encounter the Client has with your brand, it should say more than a thousand words. Printed cartons emphasize the brand's character, distinguish the product, and build a positive Client experience – from the first glance to the final choice.
Technical parameters of the tray box
Box construction
Non-glued construction, folded with locks. The sides of the tray are equipped with locks with catches that maintain the shape and stability of the construction when folded. The simple form allows for quick assembly and convenient use without the need for gluing.
This box model corresponds to standard constructions found in industry catalogs: FEFCO 0457 and ECMA B15.06.00.00
Materials
Single-sided coated papers GC1
Double-sided coated paper
Decorative papers
Materials available in calculators are selected for the product to optimize its quality and functionality.
Printing
Available single-sided (4/0) and double-sided (4/4) CMYK printing.
Printing technology
The calculator supports two types of printing technologies: digital printing on Ricoh Pro C9210 and offset printing on Heidelberg Speedmaster SM52-4 Anicolor. Both technologies ensure high printing precision, and the calculator allows comparison of both technologies in terms of available enhancement and finishing options. This enables the user to match the technology to the specifics of the order, considering the requirements for print run and type of finishing.
Enhancements
Lamination: matte, glossy, Soft-Touch
Varnishing: selective UV varnish, 3D varnish
Metallic finishes: Liquid Gold, Liquid Silver
Personalization
There is also the possibility of print personalization with variable data.
Cutting options
Plotter cutting – for low volumes for short and medium series (without repetitions), test batch, or prototype.
Die-cutting – for medium (with repetitions) and high volumes, ensuring fast and economical production of a larger number of copies.
Delivery
Tray boxes are delivered flat.
Recommendations/notes
- We recommend laminating prints on coated papers due to the possibility of cracking on creases.
- Due to the properties of the cardboard, the maximum dimensions of the packaging are approximately 140 mm in height, 60 mm in width, and 120 mm in length.
How to prepare a file for die-cutting/box cutting
Box layout
Our online generator automatically creates a layout after entering the internal dimensions of the box in the form. The layout file can be downloaded by clicking the “Download layout” button located on the right side of the calculator.
After downloading the PDF file, remove all unnecessary descriptions and dimensions, then place the layout centrally on a page with dimensions corresponding to the layout format – including bleed.
File preparation
The finished design should be saved as a multi-page file (PDF):
pages 1-2: single or double-sided box graphics, without cutting lines. The file should be prepared in the box format plus 3mm bleed on each side.
On separate pages, the grid and masks for enhancement (if selected).
All other rules for proper file preparation can be found in the Help section.
3D visualization of the project online (available for selected models)
After entering the box dimensions in the form, a three-dimensional view is automatically generated to scale.
The “Design online” button also allows creating a 3D visualization of the box with the finished graphic design. To see the visualization of your project, upload the file by clicking the “Upload project” button. The project can also be applied to the inside of the box to simulate double-sided printing.
After uploading the project and fitting it to the grid, you can switch the view to 3D, where the box can be rotated and viewed from every side, as well as simulate its opening.
The box visualization can be used as a form of product presentation for the client, creating screenshots from different angles and at various stages of opening the box.
The application also allows for the quick creation of simple graphic elements directly online. This feature is auxiliary – it is mainly used for testing and better understanding of the box construction.
Currently, it is not possible to print a project created in the online editor.
