Valentine gable boxes bring a fold-top carrying handle to February gifting, turning a bakery treat, candy assortment, or small gift set into a grab-and-go package that needs no bag. Crat Packaging builds these Valentine gable boxes in our own US facility on E-flute corrugated or SBS cardboard stock, with a low 100-unit MOQ and free structural design on every order.
Key Features of Our Valentine Gable Boxes
- Built-in carrying handle — the peaked-roof gable shape doubles as a bag, so customers walk out with a finished gift, not loose product in wrapping paper.
- Auto-bottom lock — the base snaps flat and locks in seconds, which matters during a February rush when staff are packing dozens of orders a day.
- Full-panel printing — front, back, side gussets, and roof panels are all usable canvas for heart motifs, red and pink palettes, and logo placement.
- Food-safe stock available — SBS board with grease-resistant coating for chocolates, cookies, and bakery items packed directly in the box.
- Ships flat — gable blanks nest for storage and pop into shape at pack time, saving shelf space for retailers stocking up before the holiday.
- Free setup and die charges — no plate or die-cut fees on new sizes, so a one-off Valentine’s run doesn’t carry the tooling cost of a permanent SKU.

Customization Options
Sizes and Shapes
We cut gable boxes to whatever dimensions your product needs — from a mini gable that holds a handful of truffles to a large format sized for a bakery assortment or a bundled candle-and-candy set. Send your product dimensions or a sample and we confirm internal fit before production.
Materials
Most Valentine gable boxes ship in SBS cardboard for a clean, printable surface, or E-flute corrugated when the box needs to survive shipping as well as retail handling. Kraft stock is available for a rawer, recyclable look that still takes foil and spot UV well.
Printing and Finishing
Every panel of the gable box — front, back, gussets, and the roof strip visible when the handle is carried — can carry full-color printing. Matte lamination gives a soft-touch, premium feel; gloss lamination protects against grease and makes red and pink inks pop; foil stamping adds a metallic heart accent for a higher-end gift line.
Add-ons
Popular add-ons on this style include a ribbon tie around the handle, a die-cut heart window so the contents show through, interior printing (a “sent with love” message on the inside panel), and fitted tissue or foam inserts to hold jewelry or fragile items in place.
