DESCRIPTION

Product Introduction
The Custom Cardboard PDQ Tray with Lid is a retail-ready solution designed specifically for food packaging environments where hygiene, branding, and shelf impact matter. Made from high-strength corrugated cardboard, this PDQ (Product Display Quickly) tray combines the functionality of a shipping container with an instant display unit — no assembly hassle, no extra fixture needed.

Key Features at a Glance

100% Customizable dimensions, dividers, and full-color branding
Secure lid protects contents from dust and handling
Retail-ready design: cut scores for easy front opening
Lightweight but strong enough for packaged food items
Flat-ship to reduce storage and freight costs

Ideal Applications

Bakery items (cookies, pastries in sealed bags)
Takeaway snack boxes (nuts, dried fruits, candy)
Fresh prepared meals in sealed containers
Coffee pods, tea sachets, or single-serve condiments
Supermarket deli counters and grab-and-go fridges

Customization Options
Your logo, product information, nutritional claims, or barcode areas can be printed directly onto the tray and lid. Internal dividers can be customized to fit different pack counts. Choose from uncoated (natural kraft), matte, or gloss aqueous coating for food-contact safety. Lid height can also be adjusted for taller products.

Why This PDQ Tray with Lid Stands Out
Unlike open PDQ trays, the lid allows for safer stacking in transit and on shelves, reducing product damage and waste. The “retail-ready” die-cut tear-off front instantly turns the box into a self-service display, saving staff time and improving restocking efficiency. For food brands, the lid also adds tamper-evident potential and protects against light dust in open retail environments.

ARTWORK GUIDELINES

🎨 File Format & Resolution

For the clearest, sharpest print results on your rigid gift boxes:

Preferred vector formats: Submit artwork in PDF, AI, or EPS (ideal for scalable, crisp graphics).
Minimum resolution requirement: 300 DPI for all files, including raster images (JPEG/PNG).

This ensures your designs translate flawlessly to printed rigid gift boxes with no blurriness or pixelation.

✂️ Bleed & Safe Zone

To avoid cutting errors and ensure a perfect finish:

Bleed requirement: Add a 0.125″ (3mm) bleed to all edges of your design, to accommodate minor cutting inaccuracies during production.
Safe zone guideline: Keep all critical text, logos, and design elements at least 0.25″ (6mm) away from the finished edge, to prevent any important content from being cut off.

🎯 Color Mode

For accurate, consistent color reproduction on your rigid gift boxes:

Required color mode: CMYK (the industry standard for offset printing).
Note: RGB color mode is not suitable for print, as it will cause significant color shifts during production. Using CMYK guarantees your final printed colors match your original design as closely as possible.

✍️ Fonts & Line Weights

To eliminate printing issues and ensure readability:

Font handling: Convert all text to outlines (curves) to avoid missing font errors during production.
Minimum font size: 6pt to guarantee legibility on your rigid gift boxes.
Minimum line weight: 0.25pt to ensure lines do not fade or disappear in the final print.

✅ Proofing

Before final production:

Always review and approve a digital proof of your artwork. This step verifies the accuracy of colors, layout, text, and all design elements, allowing you to correct any issues before printing, saving time and avoiding costly reworks.
