If you want smart, no-nonsense ideas to make your packaging stand out and actually work for your business, you’re exactly where you need to be. Here’s how our box templates at Healey Packaging can help you plan smarter, faster, and more cost-effectively.
Before any printing or gluing, packaging needs structure. Templates (also known as dielines) are the blueprint that makes your box:
It’s all about avoiding surprises — a poorly interpreted template can mean the difference between perfect packaging and a production headache.
Here are a few key styles we often customise for UK brands:
It’s a classic, no-fuss design with tuck-in flaps at both ends — easy to use, budget-friendly, and great for lightweight products that don’t need heavy-duty support.
Lifts open and locks into place — great for heavier contents as you build the bottom as you fold it.
Also known as set-up boxes. Separate lid and base (like a cake box) that work well for premium items or gifting.
Similar to STE but the flaps tuck the opposite way, helping prevent accidental opening.
Convenient for re-sealing — great for subscription boxes or products that need a second look.
Here are a few ways to decide:

Answers to common questions about sizing, materials, inserts, printing, and delivery.
A box template is simply the starting structure of a box, how it folds, where it locks, and how it opens. It’s the physical shape before branding or printing is added. Choosing the right template matters because it affects fit, strength, and how the box feels when someone handles it.
Yes, and this happens more often than people think. Templates are not fixed sizes. We regularly tweak dimensions, depths, and flap positions so the box actually fits the product properly, instead of forcing the product to fit the box.
No. The same box style can be used across different industries. A tuck-end or sleeve box might work for cosmetics, food items, or retail products. What changes is the material, thickness, and finish, not just the template itself.
It can, especially if it’s ignored. Good templates account for fold lines, bleed areas, and panel spacing, which helps avoid logos landing on creases or important text being trimmed. This is usually where poor packaging starts to look cheap.
Yes. Many businesses use templates first for sampling or short production runs before scaling up. The same structure can later be reused for larger quantities without redesigning everything from scratch.
Most of them are. The key is matching the structure with the right board. Some designs fold better in kraft, others need stiffer stock. A template that works well with recyclable materials helps reduce waste and keeps the box strong without over-engineering it.
Not at all. A lot of customers come in with a product and an idea, not a template name. We usually narrow it down quickly based on how the product is used, shipped, and displayed.
Because it affects everything after it: cost, protection, print quality, storage, and even how easy the box is to assemble. A good template makes packaging simpler. A bad one creates problems later.
Tell us your product, target look, and how you ship. We’ll recommend the right board, print, and finish for performance.
