Book-style box

A rigid box hinged along one edge like a book — it opens on a spine rather than lifting off.

An open olive-green book-style box, hinged at the spine, holding bar tools in a moulded insert.

Construction

One rigid body with a lid hinged along the full length of one edge, so it opens like a hardback and stays attached while it is presented. The hinge is built from the same wrapped board as the box, so nothing metal shows on the outside. Inside, the contents sit in a moulded insert cut to the shape of each item, and the lid closes flush over the top. Because the lid stays attached, there is no separate piece to set down or lose.

What it is used for

  • Bar tools and small accessories
  • Cocktail and barware sets
  • Cutlery and utensil sets
  • Trade and corporate gifts
  • Retail gift sets

The book-style box is for a set that is meant to be kept. It opens on a hinge running the length of one edge, the way a hardback opens at the spine, and the lid stays attached — so the box can be held open in one hand while the tools are picked out with the other.

Because the lid is part of the box rather than a separate piece, the closed box reads as a single object on a shelf: one uninterrupted print area across the cover, one edge to foil. Send us the tools or the item list and the quantity, and we will come back with a cutting size, an insert layout and a price.

Common questions

Does the lid stay attached?
Да. It is hinged along one edge, so the box opens and closes as a single piece — there is no separate lid to lose.
How does this differ from a lid and base box?
A lid and base box comes apart into two pieces and the lid lifts off. This one stays in one piece and opens on a hinge, which suits a set that is kept and used rather than unpacked once.
What holds the tools in place?
A moulded insert cut to the shape of each item, so nothing shifts in transit.
Can it be printed inside as well as out?
Yes — the inside of the lid and the insert are both print areas.
What is the minimum order?
1,000 шт., in tiers of 1,000–4,999, 5,000–9,999 and 10,000+ шт..
Do you hold stock sizes?
Нет. Every box is made to order against your product and your approved sample.
