At
Jigsaw bag-in-box we have rationalizing our 20 litre stock of boxes.
We have replaced our square and rectangular boxes with a newly designed,
rectangular ale (pictured) and cider box.
By
carrying less stock we are able to keep our prices as economical
as possible and the new boxes are stronger and have self-fixing
front panels. The new boxes are easier to fill and close and can
be supplied either with the 'Traditional Ale' or 'Traditional Cider'
design, plain white or individually branded for your business.
All
our bags are remaining the same dimensions and will fit the new
box comfortably. The bags will take slightly over 36 pints if required
but many customers have requested a standard 36 pint box. |

We
are often asked if we can print client logos on boxes, and we can.
The reasons for doing it are obvious, the image is improved and this
allows you to enhance the appeal of your products, thereby increasing
sales. The set up costs vary from design to design but typically a
20L / 36 pint own design box would cost you £400, sometimes
it's even less. This is a one off cost and after that we can run as
many boxes as you wish based on the minimum order quantities below.
Clearly we cannot set up a production machine for 50 boxes as the
set up would be longer than the run length and therefore the costs
would be prohibitive. There are several factors to bear in mind:
1.
The more complex the design, the higher the cost
2.
We can print up to six colours, but three colours can be done easily
and is more common, note each colour will cost an additional £200
- £300 set up costs.
3. Think
where the product is going, if it's a cellar then one colour will
generally suffice. Supermarket shelves need impact & we can
do glossy boxes for 3L - 10L in up to six colours.
4.
We will supply you a template to work on, settle on a design yourself
in conjunction with your designer, and stick to it. Each change
or addition will add to the cost.
Once
the set up costs have been paid, we can print millions of boxes
for you but your needs are likely to be more modest. The minimum
runs for your own designs printed on off white background paper
are as follows:
3L
boxes:1200, 5L boxes: 800, 10L boxes: 600, 36pint (20L) boxes: 300.
We
are able to run such small quantities because we produce them by
tagging them on the end of our production runs. You then benefit
from the lowest individual unit cost we can offer and the flexibility
of a short lead time. We can also run boxes in brown or white, in
fact virtually colour you want, however this will attract a premium
and an increased minimum order quantity. The lead time is 3 - 6
weeks typically, although we have turned things around quicker than
this as needs suit.
