Our crash lock boxes are available in a range of sizes from 40mm × 40mm × 40mm up to 200mm × 200mm × 200mm. Select your preferred size when ordering online, or contact us if you need a custom size.

Our crash lock boxes are made from 380gsm SBS (Solid Bleached Sulphate) paperboard — a premium, sturdy board commonly used for high-quality retail and food packaging. The outer side is finished with gloss or matt lamination for a professional, durable finish.

Gloss lamination gives a shiny, vibrant finish that makes colours pop — ideal for bold, colourful designs. Matt lamination gives a smooth, subtle finish with a premium tactile feel — popular for luxury and premium packaging. Both finishes are applied to the outer side of the box only.

Crash lock boxes are ideal for quick-assembly product packaging and event giveaways. For other packaging options, also browse our pillow boxes, promotional boxes and swing tags to complete your branded packaging suite.

Our crash lock boxes are made from SBS paperboard, which is recyclable. For the most eco-friendly option, choose matt lamination over gloss — matt lamination is generally easier to recycle than gloss. Contact us for more information on sustainable packaging options.
