    Your piece

    Which box does your piece need?

    Choose the pieces and how many go together. We find the closest-fitting box in the catalogue, with room for padding, and take you to the configurator with it already selected.

    Made for makers

    Your piece is one of a kind. The box should live up to it.

    Six common packaging stumbling blocks in a pottery or craft workshop, and how Sincla solves them.

    Huge minimums for branding

    To add your logo, many suppliers ask for runs of hundreds or thousands of boxes: unworkable for a workshop or a limited series.

    With your branding, from 50 units.

    Setting up and packing away the stall at every fair

    Cardboard displays that don’t survive two fairs and boxes that fill half the car on the way home.

    Trays and boxes that come apart and travel home flat.

    Pieces that don’t fit any box

    Tall vases, large plates or sculptures: with standard sizes, the piece either rattles around or doesn’t fit.

    Hundreds of catalogue sizes, and made-to-measure boxes on request.

    Storage

    More room to work. Less room for boxes.

    Receive your boxes unassembled, store them flat and prepare only the ones you need for your orders.

    THE SAME ORDER: 500 BOXES

    Same boxes. Much less space.

    Compare the space occupied by the same order before and after assembling the boxes.

    This is how they arrive: flat, stackable and without shipping air.

    Assembly

    Assembled in 20-30 seconds, without tools

    The patented twist-lock corners replace staples, nails and adhesives. One person assembles more than a hundred boxes in an hour, with no training.

    1. Take out the pieces

      They arrive pre-cut and stacked flat. Nothing to cut or prepare.

    2. Fit the corner pieces

      Insert them with a quarter turn in each corner and the sides lock into place.

    3. Ready to fill

      A firm, stable box in 20-30 seconds. And it comes apart to store flat again.

    Prices, minimums and lead times

    What it costs and how long it takes, with no surprises

    The configurator works out the price and the shipping date for your actual order: measurements, quantity, branding and shipping method.

    From 1 unit

    You can order a single unbranded box. Below 50 units a small-quantity surcharge applies, shown before you pay.

    Branding from 50 units

    Engraving starts at €0.10 per face. You upload your logo in the configurator and choose which faces it goes on.

    The shipping date, before you pay

    The lead time depends on the factory workload, the quantity and the branding: up to 20 working days and often considerably less. There is an express option if you are cutting it fine for a fair or a campaign.
