Black XL Cube SoftBox® Extra Large Gift Carton Sample

Order a sample of our Black XL Cube SoftBox® extra large gift carton with changeable ribbon to experience its impressive capacity, substantial board quality and sophisticated matt black finish before ordering in bulk.

This is a seriously spacious gift box, designed for larger products and generous multi-item presentations where a standard gift carton simply isn't big enough. The dramatic black finish makes it particularly suited to luxury gift hampers, corporate gifting, clothing, homeware, large candles, premium food and drink collections and high-value retail presentation.

Manufactured from substantial 540gsm dye-through kraft board, the XL Cube SoftBox® offers impressive capacity without the weight and storage requirements of an equivalent rigid paper-over-board gift box. Its folding construction combines an interlocking slot-lock base, overlapping lid and removable ribbon closure.

Please note: The sample price includes delivery. If you are ordering three or more samples, contact us for a delivery discount code.

Why Order an XL Cube Sample?

  • Experience the substantial scale and generous internal capacity before committing to a bulk order.
  • Test larger products or build a complete multi-item hamper inside the carton.
  • Assess the strength and quality of the substantial 540gsm board at this larger size.
  • View the contemporary matt black finish alongside your products and branding.
  • Experiment with tissue paper, ribbon and other presentation accessories.
  • Confirm dimensions and product fit before developing bespoke inserts, sleeves or closely fitted accessories.

Extra Large Packaging for Hampers & Premium Gifting

The generous proportions of the XL Cube make it particularly useful when several products need to be presented together or when individual contents are simply too substantial for conventional gift packaging. Popular applications include:

  • Luxury food and confectionery hampers.
  • Corporate and executive gift collections.
  • Clothing, knitwear and fashion accessories.
  • Large and multi-wick candles.
  • Home fragrance and interior gift collections.
  • Premium skincare, grooming and wellness hampers.
  • Artisan ceramics and decorative homeware.
  • Drinks accessories and celebration gift sets.
  • VIP, influencer and PR gifting.
  • High-value retail and e-commerce presentation.

Contemporary Black Dye-Through Matt Finish

The XL Cube SoftBox® is manufactured from 540gsm dye-through kraft board, approximately 0.66mm / 660 micron thick. The black colour runs through the board rather than being created by applying a separate decorative paper covering.

There is no lamination, giving the carton a contemporary matt paperboard finish. Used with its matching black ribbon, the result is striking and minimalist; alternatively, changing the ribbon provides an easy way to introduce corporate, seasonal or campaign colours.

Black also provides an excellent backdrop for brightly coloured tissue paper and presentation accessories, making this substantial carton particularly adaptable for branded hamper and gifting programmes.

Interlocking Slot-Lock Base

The XL Cube SoftBox® features a manually assembled interlocking slot-lock base. The base panels fold and engage securely with one another when the carton is erected, creating a sturdy foundation for the box.

This is not an automatic crash-lock construction. The base is not pre-glued or designed to automatically open into position; instead, the panels are manually folded and locked together during assembly.

The carton can therefore be supplied flat, an especially useful advantage with an extra large gift box where storage space can otherwise become significant.

Changeable Black Grosgrain Ribbon

Each Black XL Cube is supplied with a generous 80cm x 2.5cm black polyester grosgrain ribbon. The ribbon threads through three narrow slots in the overlapping lid and is not permanently attached to the carton.

Keep the matching black ribbon for a sophisticated monochrome presentation or replace it with a contrasting colour to coordinate with your brand, products, event or gifting campaign.

Explore our alternative ribbon colours to create your own packaging combination.

Important Information About Samples

  • Samples cannot be printed and are supplied unbranded.
  • Samples are the same specification as bulk stock but may be supplied from a different manufacturing batch.
  • If your contents require a precise fit, always test your products in a physical sample.
  • Please allow for normal manufacturing size tolerances when planning inserts or accessories.
  • Do not manufacture fitted inserts, sleeves or band wrappers from nominal dimensions alone.
  • Contact us before ordering bulk quantities if batch matching is important.

For a gift carton of this scale, ordering a sample is particularly worthwhile. It allows you to physically assess the XL Cube's capacity, board strength, black finish and assembled construction with your intended contents before committing to a full stock or custom branded order.

Useful Branding Information for Adding Your Logo to Stock Gift Boxes

  • DO NOT order boxes online by adding them to your basket and paying if you want a custom printed logo. Online orders are for plain, unbranded stock boxes only.
  • Visit our Printing Page for example print images and detailed information on the various print techniques available.
  • Complete the simple on-line print estimate for a quick price guide. Follow the easy steps to submit your details and progress an order.
  • 24 boxes per size is the minimum order for printing. Orders of 144 boxes or more (boxes are packed in 12s) are the most economical due to fixed origination costs, regardless of quantity.
  • Printing is offered on all gift boxes available from stock. Mailing cartons cannot be printed.
  • Allow approximately 1–3 weeks for custom printing from receipt of usable artwork and payment to delivery of printed boxes.
