Hexagon Tray Boxes
A hexagon tray with low walls for open display of soaps, candles, and artisan goods.
Structural & Engineering Details
How This Structure Works
A hexagon tray keeps the six-sided footprint but lowers the walls into an open tray for display of soaps, candles, or artisan goods. The faceted low walls give a distinctive base shape while leaving the top open so contents are visible and easy to lift out. The geometry suits open presentation where the hexagon silhouette adds character to a display without enclosing the product. It can group several small items within its six-sided well or frame a single piece. Folding flat before use, it erects into the hexagonal tray with the walls locked or glued, presenting goods within a shape that reads as crafted.
Good Fit For
- Soaps, candles, and artisan goods
- Open display of grouped small items
- Presentations wanting a faceted tray
Key Advantages
- Six-sided walls give a crafted look
- Open top keeps contents visible
- Erects flat into a faceted tray
Assembly & Construction
The blank scores into six low wall panels that fold up and lock or glue into a hexagonal tray, with the seam holding the faceted shape. The open top keeps assembly to erecting the six walls. Packers form the tray and load from above, so the box gains its six-sided footprint from the folded walls and holds an open, visible well for display without a separate frame or insert.
Materials & Board Options
A firm, printable paperboard suits hexagon trays where crisp facet folds and clean print matter, with a heavier caliper for weightier contents. Final board, any coating, and thickness typically depend on the load, tray size, print coverage, filling method, and handling, so a loaded sample usually confirms the facets stay crisp and the walls hold their shape.
Pre-Production Planning Checklist
- Confirm the six low walls hold their faceted shape
- Check the open tray seats the intended contents
- Verify facet folds stay crisp at the chosen caliper
