Publishing packaging for large-format books
Self-assembly boxes use folds and interlocking tabs to form the packaging and hold its parts together. The model shown on this page is designed to close without adhesive tape. Before choosing it, check that its format, strength and closure suit the product and its transport requirements.

Boxes for special publishing projects
The box as part of the edition
For a special edition, the box contributes to the presentation of the publishing project. The format is fitted to the book or set of volumes, with an opening that allows removal and replacement without forcing the covers. The images show book-style boxes with hinged covers and a defined spine; the actual design is confirmed when manufacture is assessed.
Large formats, weight and protection
Provide the finished edition’s actual length, width and thickness, including dust jacket, case, prints or accompanying items. State total weight and planned storage and distribution. A heavy art book requires assessment of board, folds, reinforcement and internal fit. No load capacity is assigned without checking the complete solution.
Customisation and publishing runs
Ask about printing the title, publisher imprint or collection identity. Share the printing faces, colours and versions. Minimum orders depend on size, format and printing; special pricing is available for large quantities. Provide expected quantities and replenishment requirements for a proposal.
Presentation and distribution
Presentation boxes and transport packaging may require different solutions. For courier or distribution use, specify handling and stacking conditions so the need for outer protection can be assessed. A finished-book sample helps check clearance, opening and removal before the production run.
