Box style

Custom Four-Corner Boxes

Updated

Custom four-corner boxes are trays or boxes with glued corner posts at each of the four corners, which make them stiff, stackable and quick to set up. They suit bakery items, takeout, produce and gift trays. Vorex makes four-corner boxes to your exact size for businesses in the USA and Canada.

Custom Four-Corner Boxes

What is a four-corner box?

A four-corner box is a tray-style box whose side walls are joined by glued triangular posts in each corner. The posts add stiffness and let the trays stack without collapsing. Some versions are sold flat and pop up into shape, while others are glued during production. A four-corner tray can be used open, paired with a separate lid, or fitted with an attached hinged lid.

When to choose a four-corner box

Four-corner trays suit products that are displayed or carried flat: pastries, cookies, donuts, sandwiches, fruit and produce, chocolates arranged in rows, gift trays and subscription kits. Their strong corners help when trays are stacked in a display case or delivery bag, and the open top makes packing fast for busy kitchens and counters.

Materials and finishes

Food trays often use SBS paperboard, a bleached board with a clean white surface, or kraft board, which is unbleached and brown. Stronger trays for produce or heavier items can be made from corrugated board, such as E-flute, a thin fluted board with good stiffness. Coatings can help with grease and moisture; ask us what suits your product.

Design tips

  • Brand the walls and lid: the base is rarely seen once filled.
  • Plan for stacking: tell us if trays will be stacked so we size the corners well.
  • Add a window lid: helpful for bakery items on display.
  • Think about grease: oily foods may need a coated board or a liner.

FAQ

Custom Four-Corner Boxes: common questions

What is a four-corner tray used for?
Four-corner trays are used for bakery items, sandwiches, fruit and produce, chocolates, gift assortments and subscription kits. The glued corner posts make them stiff and stackable, so they work well in display cases, catering and delivery, where trays are carried and stacked many times.
Do four-corner boxes come with a lid?
They can. Options include an open tray, a separate lid that sits on top, a lid with a clear window, or a hinged lid attached to one side. Tell us how the box will be used and we will suggest a lid style that suits your product.
Are four-corner boxes food safe?
Many four-corner trays are made from paperboard suited to food packaging, and coatings can help with grease and moisture. If food touches the board directly, mention it when you request a quote so we can recommend suitable materials, and check the rules that apply to your product.
Can four-corner trays be stacked?
Yes. Stacking is one of their main strengths, because the corner posts carry the load. How high you can stack depends on board, tray size and contents. Tell us how you plan to stack and transport them, and we will recommend a construction.
How do I order custom four-corner boxes?
Send the tray size, quantity, material, lid choice and artwork through our quote form. We reply with pricing and options, set your design on the dieline and send a digital proof before print. Production starts only after you approve the proof.
