Wraplock box

Used for volumes in good condition

The wraplock is one of our most popular designs, used for volumes in good condition. This slimline design maximises your shelf space and keeps expansion to a minimum whilst providing maximum protection for your volumes.

How to measure for wraplock boxes

The locking tab sits inside of the box and has direct contact with the material. We advise that this style is not suitable for volumes that have friable covers or protruding pages. The wraplock is effective for volumes as thin as one centimetre. The tabbed folder is a good alternative for thin items. If your volume is heavy, we suggest the clamshell instead. The only material this enclosure needs is box board, so there is no risk of off-gassing.
