Whether you are packing a single item or doubling up, one clever carton handles it all. No more ordering multiple box sizes for multiple product heights.

What is a Multi Crease Carton?

A multi crease carton is an adjustable-depth cardboard box with multiple pre-scored fold lines, allowing one box to fit different product heights (typically 10–50mm). These cartons — also called multi crease boxes or variable depth cartons — are commonly used in ecommerce fulfilment, retail packaging, and gift box applications where product sizes vary.

Each carton is flat-packed and features five built-in crease positions. Simply fold at the line that matches your item's depth, tape closed, and done. One product in your storeroom replaces what would otherwise be five separate box SKUs.

Available in A5, A4, A3, and A2, these foldable cartons suit everything from small jewellery and cosmetics through to books, clothing, and stationery.

Available Sizes

Click any size to shop — all sizes accommodate depths of 10, 20, 30, 40 & 50mm from the same box:

A5

How It Works — Easy as 1, 2, 3

The genius of these adjustable depth cartons is their built-in flexibility. Here is all you need to do:

1

Place your item inside the carton

Lay your product flat inside the open carton. Whether it is one item or two stacked together, the box is wide enough to accommodate both.

2

Fold at the crease that fits your item's depth

The carton has five pre-scored crease lines to suit item heights of 10, 20, 30, 40, or 50mm. Simply fold the lid down at the line that matches your product.

3

Tape closed — done!

Secure the folded flap with a piece of tape and your package is ready to go. Clean, snug, and professional every time.

Packing 1 item or 2 is easy with the very same box — simply choose the crease that fits. Fewer SKUs to manage, less overstock, and a tidier packing bench.

Common Uses for Multi Crease Cartons

These variable depth mailing boxes are widely used across retail and ecommerce businesses for:

  • Ecommerce shipping boxes for clothing and fashion accessories
  • Gift box packaging for hampers and subscription boxes
  • Retail packaging for cosmetics and beauty products
  • Book, notebook and stationery shipping cartons
  • Artwork, prints and picture frame packaging
  • Jewellery and small goods gift packaging
  • Market sellers and artisans needing one versatile cardboard box solution

Why Businesses Love Multi Crease Cartons

Reduce your box SKUs. Instead of stocking five separate boxes for five different depths, you only need one. Simpler reordering, less storage space, and less guesswork at the packing table.

Flexible for variable stock. If your product range varies in height or you regularly bundle items together, these adjustable depth cartons adapt with you — without changing your box at all.

Polished presentation. These are proper gift-quality cartons. The clean white finish looks great as-is or can be dressed up with tissue paper, ribbon, or a belly band for a premium unboxing experience.

Fast and easy to use. No complicated assembly. Fold, tape, done. Even on a busy fulfilment day your team can pack quickly and consistently.
