What Is A Cardboard Advent Calendar?

A cardboard advent calendar is a lightweight calendar that is made from folded or printed cardboard with numbers on each door from 1st December to Christmas Eve. You open one door a day to find out what is behind it: a picture, a message, a piece of chocolate or a tiny gift. Moreover, our blank cardboard advent calendars are also available at a low cost for DIY filling and make your festivity more interesting for you.

Advent calendars come in all kinds of forms, from paper designs to wooden calendars that your family can fill up year after year. Mark off a new door each day for an everyday holiday treat. It's a fun way to get excited to celebrate Christmas!

Packaging Bee AU Makes No Compromises in Custom Cardboard Advent Calendar

Many businesses manufacture advent calendar boxes made from premium materials but assume that the cardboard is a budget compromise. It is a myth that is simply not true. Cardboard advent calendar boxes are lightweight, deliver crisp printing, create solid doors, and are designed for easy recycling at home. For brands that sell sustainable products, cardboard is not a compromise; it shows the visually appealing appearance of your products while maintaining sustainability.

Board Weight and Construction

Our empty advent calendar boxes are made from single-wall cardboard, with a fluted middle layer between two flat liners. This construction is strong enough to support several small doors without sagging. Keeps the calendar light, so shipping remains economical. Thinner paperboard is perfect for lighter small or 12-day calendars.

Select board thickness based on the number of doors yet box dimensions and overall design. Regular 24-door calendars can use lightweight cardboard, but very large or custom-shaped boxes require a stronger board or inner braces so the front stays flat after cutouts. Create 12 doors for small box size, 24 doors for standard box size and choose more than 24 doors for custom shape.

Door Structure in Cardboard

We cut three sides of a door into the box, leaving the fourth side as a hinge.

The wavy middle layer increases strength/durability and requires deeper cuts. If the cut is too shallow, the door tears unevenly and exposes the raw interior paper. Cutting to the correct depth produces a clean edge and keeps printed designs tidy.

Box Layout and Grid Size

We create a simple grid pattern for a cardboard DIY advent calendar with 24 doors. You can make each door the same size to perfectly fit your largest or smallest items or go with different door sizes for various products.

Sustainability

Packaging Bee AU experts use cardboard for every part of the calendar, resulting in a cardboard advent calendar box that is entirely recyclable and plastic-free. Our empty cardboard advent calendar can be reused for many other purposes. We utilise dividers, seals, and frames by using paperboard, avoiding the need for foil layers or plastic clips.

Offset Printing

It is the printing process that is ideal for large orders of cardboard advent calendars in Australia. If you want consistent quality in a bulk run of box printing, you can utilise offset printing without any hassle.

Flexographic Printing

This is a printing method that involves the use of flexible material-based plates. Flexo enables you to develop the prints on different types of surfaces and substrates. Therefore, it is considered the most effective technology for retail display printing, whether you create logos, text, patterns, and other branding elements.

Digital Printing

Use digital printing if you have to print small-quantity orders. Need to print something special? Rely on this technique to get the best potential printing results. This will provide alluring yet custom artwork on the box surface. Moreover, there is no need to bother about printing plates.

Screen Printing

In this technique, ink is applied to the box surface by forcing it through a pattern. You can use it for larger containers as well. You can create amazing art and graphics with this for your retail displays.

Find the Best Coatings for Your Cardboard Gift Advent Calendars

  • Use our premium finishes to add a layer of protection to your product as well as make advent calendar packaging more attractive.
  • Gloss lamination makes the box surface glossy and shiny. Matte lamination creates a professional feel for the package surface.
  • Additionally, we also offer surface coatings that come with different properties. Such as UV and varnish. They protect the upper layer of the packaging against water, fading, and wear.
  • UV coating leaves a glossy yet hard-wearing finish after drying, while varnish brings a silky texture that you can feel with your fingers right away.
  • All of our laminations and coatings will ensure excellent durability for your products, making packaging perfect for warehouse, display and retail. These options affect the recyclability of your calendars but the choice is yours.
