Custom 123 Bottom Boxes are an essential foundation for creating efficient, secure retail packaging structures that combine ease of assembly with dependable product protection.

This comprehensive guide will delve into every aspect of this versatile packaging solution. We will explore its unique mechanics, the industries it serves, the materials that bring it to life, and how it can become a cornerstone of your brand's retail merchandising strategy.

What is a 123 Bottom with Display Lid Box?

A Custom 123 Bottom with Display Lid box is a two-piece packaging system engineered for maximum impact and efficiency.

• The 123 Bottom (Base): This is a folding carton with an ingenious self-locking bottom. It sets up in three simple steps—fold, tuck, and lock—creating a rigid, sturdy base without the need for tape or glue. This provides a secure foundation for your product.
• The Display Lid: This is a separate cover, typically featuring a large, integrated acetate window. This crystal-clear see-through lid acts as a display case, putting your product on full view while keeping it protected from dust and handling.

Combined, they create an all-in-one solution that functions as both secure transit packaging and an eye-catching point of purchase (POP) display.

Custom Auto Bottom With Display Lid designs further enhance this concept by integrating automated assembly efficiency with premium retail presentation.

Industries Served: The Perfect Blend of Protection and Presentation

This packaging format is uniquely suited for products where visual appeal is a primary driver of purchase decisions. Its versatility makes it a favorite across numerous sectors.

Materials & Construction: Engineering a Premium Unboxing Experience

The quality of your Custom 123 Bottom with Display Lid box is defined by the materials we use. We offer a range of options to achieve the perfect balance of durability, aesthetics, and cost.

• Base Materials (The 123 Bottom):

• • • SBS (Solid Bleached Sulfate): The premium choice for luxury packaging. It's a bright white, smooth board that provides the perfect canvas for high-end printing and specialty finishes.
    • CCNB (Clay-Coated News Back): Features a brilliant white, clay-coated exterior for excellent printability and a grey recycled interior. A cost-effective and high-quality option for most retail packaging.
    • Kraft Paperboard: Ideal for brands with an eco-friendly packaging ethos. Offers a natural, rustic look that can be printed or left plain for a minimalist aesthetic.

• Lid & Window Materials:

• • Acetate Sheet: This is the gold standard for display lid windows. It is a crystal-clear, durable plastic that offers exceptional clarity and is resistant to yellowing over time.
  • PET-G: An alternative to acetate, known for its clarity and rigidity.
  • Paperboard Lid: The non-window portion of the lid is made from the same material as the base, ensuring a cohesive and branded look.

If your product pairs well with food or retail display concepts, Bowl Sleeve packaging is another excellent complement—ideal for showcasing premium snacks or takeaway items with clean branding visibility.

Sizes, Dimensions & Customization: A Perfect Fit for Your Product

A one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for premium presentations. At Haul Packaging, we specialize in creating truly custom size boxes tailored to your product's exact dimensions.

• Fully Customizable Dimensions: We can manufacture your box to any length, width, and depth. A snug fit is crucial for both product security and a premium unboxing feel.
• Window Size and Shape: The acetate window can be customized to be a full-panel display, a shaped peek-a-boo window, or a standard rectangle. The possibilities are endless with our precision die-cutting capabilities.
• The Importance of Precision: Our design team will help you determine the optimal dimensions to minimize material use, reduce shipping costs, and ensure your product is held securely and displayed prominently.

Custom Printing & Finishing: Your Brand's Stage

This is where your display box transforms from a container into a powerful brand ambassador. The large, flat surfaces of the base and lid are perfect for storytelling.

• Printing Processes:

• • • Offset Printing: Delivers the highest quality for custom printing, with razor-sharp detail and vibrant, accurate color reproduction for your logos and graphics.
    • Digital Printing: Ideal for shorter runs with variable data or highly complex, full-color imagery.

• Premium Finishing Options:

• • Foil Stamping: Adds a luxurious, reflective layer of gold, silver, or colored foil to your logo or design elements.
  • Embossing/Debossing: Creates a raised (embossed) or recessed (debossed) texture, adding a tactile, high-end feel that customers can see and touch.
  • Spot UV: A high-gloss coating applied to specific areas to create dramatic contrast and make certain design elements pop under the retail lights.

Cost & Pricing: Investing in a High-Converting Packaging Solution

The cost of your Custom 123 Bottom with Display Lid boxes is an investment in your product's presentation and sales potential. The price is influenced by several key factors.

Key Factors Influencing Cost:

• Quantity: The most significant factor. Bulk orders dramatically reduce the per-unit cost.
• Materials: The choice between SBS, CCNB, or Kraft paperboard, as well as the thickness of the acetate, affects the price.
• Size: Larger boxes use more material.
• Printing & Finishing: Basic printing is economical, while full color printing, foil stamping, and custom die-cutting add cost and value.

Why This Box is a Retail Game-Changer

• Separate Packaging & Display: Eliminates the cost and waste of producing a shipping box and a separate display unit. This is an all-in-one solution.
• Fully Opaque Boxes: An opaque box hides your product. The display lid creates an open-air feel that builds consumer confidence and drives impulse purchases.
• Complex Setup Boxes: While rigid boxes are premium, they are far more expensive and cumbersome to ship and store. The 123 bottom with display lid offers a similar high-end presentation with the cost and logistics benefits of a folding carton.
