Gable box sizes
The gable box is the carry box with a handle on top: takeaway lunches, kids' meals, cookies, cake slices and party favours. Stock lists agree on a handful of sizes, from a treat box to a big one for a small cake.

Typical stock sizes, not a standard: every supplier's list is a little different, and the height is the walls, under the handle.
How to measure
- Length: side to side along the handle, crease to crease.
- Width: front to back, across the ends with the slits.
- Height: the walls, from the bottom to the flat top. The handle stands a third of the height above it, so leave the food a few millimetres under the top.
Which board?
The default is 0.5 mm paperboard, the board stock gable boxes are made of; food boxes often have a greaseproof lining. A heavy meal or a cake wants a thicker board, up to 2 mm. The board doesn't change the sizes you enter: it only moves the bottom's lock, the roof and the slits the handle locks into.
