About this product

The double-wall presentation tray is the classic foundation for premium retail packaging, often recognized as the base of a high-end shirt box or gift set. By rolling the side panels 180 degrees inward, this design creates thick, rigid walls with clean, folded top edges that completely hide the raw paperboard.

While it consumes more material than a basic single-wall tray, the resulting tray feels substantial and allows for a premium unboxing experience without requiring two-sided printing. The long walls are typically pre-glued by the manufacturer, allowing your packing team to quickly open the tray and lock the short ends into place by hand.

Common uses

  • Boutique apparel
  • Corporate gift sets
  • Stationery and greeting cards
  • High-end cosmetics kits

Retail and Presentation Uses

Apparel and textile packaging

The clean interior and lack of exposed raw edges make this a frequent choice for folded shirts, knitwear, and delicate textiles that could catch on rough board.

Corporate gifts and presentation sets

The rigid double walls provide a substantial, high-value feel. When paired with a matching lid, it creates a classic telescopic presentation box.

High-end stationery and greeting cards

The flat, smooth interior walls keep paper products aligned and protected, while the double-thick sides add a premium weight to the overall package.

Boutique cosmetics and skincare kits

When fitted with a custom insert, the rigid tray base securely holds multiple small items, creating an organized and upscale unboxing experience.

Who Uses This Tray

Boutique retail

Retailers rely on this style because it stores flat behind the counter but sets up quickly into a sturdy, premium container for customer purchases.

E-commerce fulfillment

While it is not a standalone shipping box, fulfillment centers use this tray as an inner presentation layer, placing the loaded and lidded tray inside a rugged corrugated outer carton.

Promotional kitting and PR mailers

Marketing teams use the double-wall design to elevate the perceived value of promotional items, often using the rolled edges to frame the products inside.

When to Consider a Different Tray

When you need a corrugated outer carton

This design relies on tight 180-degree folds that often crush and crack corrugated flutes. If you need a tray made from corrugated board, look at basic roll-end trays designed specifically for thicker materials.

When material efficiency is the top priority

The double-wall construction uses nearly twice the paperboard of a basic tray. If budget or material reduction is more important than the rolled-edge aesthetic, a single-wall glued tray is a more efficient choice.

Key Decisions for Production

Pre-gluing versus full manual assembly

This specific template assumes the manufacturer will run the flat blanks through a folder-gluer to secure the long inner walls. This adds a manufacturing step but speeds up your packing line. If you prefer to assemble the entire tray by hand without any pre-gluing, specify the unglued variant.

Board thickness and fold clearance

Because the inner panels fold completely over the outer panels, the template must be adjusted for the exact thickness of your chosen paperboard. Changing board grades later may cause the inner walls to bow or fail to lock.

Two-piece set requirements

This template generates the base tray only. To create a complete package, you will need to specify a separate, slightly larger lid template to ensure a proper fit.

Print surface efficiency

Because the inner walls fold over from the outside of the blank, the interior of the finished tray displays the same printed side of the board as the exterior. This allows for a fully branded presentation without the cost of two-sided printing.

Template Adjustments

Lid clearance

If you are pairing this tray with a matching lid, the base dimensions should be slightly undersized to ensure a smooth, friction-fit closure without trapping air.

Terminal flap depth

The small flaps that lock the short walls seat flat against the floor of the tray. Their depth can be adjusted to ensure they do not interfere with custom inserts or product placement.

Bevel angle on short inner walls

The angled cuts on the short inner walls help them clear the corners during assembly. This angle can be adjusted to ensure smooth locking without binding against the adjacent panels.

Board and packing details

Storage and pack-station footprint

Even with the long walls pre-glued by the manufacturer, these trays are delivered flat. They require minimal storage space and can be kept directly at the packing station, allowing packers to open them and lock the short ends as needed.

Additional notes

Matching lids and two-piece sets

This template generates the base tray. To create a complete 'shirt box' style package, it must be paired with a separate, slightly larger lid template.

FAQs

Assembly and Packing

Does my packing team need to use glue?

No. The manufacturer typically pre-glues the long walls before delivering the trays flat. Your team simply folds the short walls up and rolls the inner flaps over the corner tabs, which locks the tray together using friction.

Materials

Can this tray be made from corrugated board?

Usually, no. The tight 180-degree folds required for the double walls tend to crush the flutes and cause corrugated board to crack. This design is generally intended for solid paperboard materials.

Shipping

Can I ship this tray directly in the mail?

No. This is an open presentation tray. Even when paired with a matching lid, it lacks the crush resistance and secure sealing required for parcel courier networks. It should be placed inside a dedicated corrugated outer carton for shipping.

Cost and Production

Why does this tray use more material than others?

To create the clean, rolled top edges and rigid feel, the side panels are essentially twice as tall on the flat blank before being folded inward. This double-wall tray consumes more paperboard than a basic single-wall tray.

Design

Do I need to print on both sides of the board?

Usually, no. Because the outer panels fold over to become the inner walls, the printed exterior surface is also visible on the inside walls of the tray. The only unprinted area will be the very bottom floor of the tray, which is often covered by the product or an insert.

Inserts

Can I use custom inserts with this tray?

Yes. However, you should account for the terminal flaps that rest flat on the bottom of the tray at the short ends. Inserts may need to be slightly elevated or notched to sit flush.

Storage

How are these trays delivered?

They are delivered flat. Even though the long walls are pre-glued by the manufacturer, the tray remains flat until your packing team opens it and locks the short ends.

Related Packaging

What is the difference between this and the B10 tray?

The B48 tray has pre-glued long walls, which speeds up assembly at the packing station. The B10 tray is entirely unglued and requires the packer to manually fold and lock all four walls.
