Product Description
Tray & lid wire stitched boxes are a very simple style of box. The card is prepared and then it is simply folded and stapled to hold the box in shape.
They are very strong and robust so are ideal for storage, archiving and also sending items in the post. Over the last few years it has become very popular to use wire stitched packaging for high-end, bespoke product packaging too, as they have a unique fashionable style. We use our experience with presentation boxes to make your wire stitched boxes look special, whether that be with printing techniques like foiling or screen printing, or maybe using coloured cardboard, or lining our standard card with coloured paper. There are still raw edges of card and staples but that helps give this style of packaging a real unique look as it is comparatively rarely used.
Our stock card is pH Neutral and “acid free” but if full archive grade board is required we can also procure and use that. We can custom make these to your required dimensions using traditional manufacturing techniques which don’t require tooling on small quantity orders.
We have a choice of stitches, including round silver or brass wire, and flat 'ribbon' stitches. Images of these are available on our website.
There's also a variety of folding techniques for this style of box. We mainly do creased folds as this is the strongest and simplest way. We don’t need tooling to achieve this as we have rotary bending machines which we can adjust to the correct depth of box. We can do scored folds which is where the material is cut most of the way through and then the card can fold. It gives a cleaner, sharper edged look but you see the raw edge of the card and the card is weakened. We can also do a perforated score on thinner materials, this gives a cleaner fold like a score but some material is left so the material isn't weakened as much.
We also produce hand-made paper-covered boxes, slipcases and more - additional info can be found on our website.
