Formats by rope
| Speed rope, steel cable | Slim window carton, about 220 × 130 × 40 mm; coil insert; hang tab |
|---|---|
| Beaded or PVC rope | Wider carton; the beads need a larger coil; window optional |
| Weighted rope or set | Lidded box with a foam or pulp insert; the weight wants a rigid base |
| Rope plus accessories | A box with a second cell for spare cables, a bag or a mat |
The coil insert
A die-cut board platform with a circular channel holds the cable in a coil of 120–150 mm, and two slots seat the handles across it. The channel keeps the coil tidy through a window and stops it springing open when the box is opened. Steel cable holds a coil; PVC wants a wider channel and a tie. Send the rope and we set the channel.
The window and what it shows
Our gym and fitness boxes for the whole range cover the bands, gloves and supplements sold beside a rope.
- A window over the handles and the coil, so the handle finish and the cable are seen.
- Rounded corners and a 12 mm margin, so the carton front stays flat on a peg.
- A PET or paper-based film; or no film for a rope that can be touched.
- A hang tab or Euro-slot, because most ropes sell from a peg wall.
Board and the weighted rope
A speed rope weighs a few hundred grams and sits in 18–20pt boxboard. A weighted rope or a set with two cables and handles weighs a kilogram or more and wants a rigid base or E flute with a foam insert, and a lid rather than a tuck. The box is drop-tested with the rope in it before the run.
Handles with a bearing or a grip coating need a plain interior and no contact with the window film over months on a shelf.
Print for a fitness peg wall
Dark ground, one accent, the rope type and the cable length in large type. The window shows the product; the back carries the sizing guide and a QR to a tutorial. Full color, matte laminated, on a coated board.

Boards and films we build jump rope boxes on
A folding carton is one sheet of board, so the board is the product. These are the stocks we run for cartons, what each is good at, and where it lets you down.
Natural kraft
Unbleached folding board. Warm, hides marks, costs least. Mutes color — one or two flat colors print well, photographs do not.
250–350gsm sleeves; 14–24pt cartonsWhite SBS
Solid bleached sulfate: bright, coated, the retail carton standard. Takes accurate color and every finish. Shows scuffs sooner than kraft.
14–24ptWhite lined chipboard
A recycled gray core under a white printing face. Cheaper than SBS and slightly duller; the back of the sheet stays gray.
16–24ptKraft-look coated
A kraft face over a coated inner. The natural look with a barrier behind it — the answer where oil, grease or moisture would mark plain kraft.
14–20ptRecycled-content board
Post-consumer fiber with a gray-brown cast. Right for outers and inner components; poor for bright whites and photography.
16–22ptMicro-flute E and F
A fine corrugated layer where a carton needs structure it cannot get from board — a large panel, a heavy product, a box that ships alone.
E 1.5 mm; F 0.8 mmUncoated and textured
No clay coat, or a linen or laid grain. Print reads softer and warmer; a deboss goes deeper. Photographs do not sit well on it.
280–350gsmMetallised and pearlescent
A metallic or pearl face for a shelf that needs to catch light. Costly, and it fights a photograph — a mark or a pattern suits it better.
16–20ptNot sure which? Say what goes in it and where it is sold — the material follows from that. Our notes on recycled, recyclable and compostable cover which claims each stock can honestly carry.
- 01
Send what you have
A dimension, a photograph beside a ruler, or the product itself. No technical drawing needed — that part is ours.
- 02
We quote and draw
A price, a dieline and a date come back together. If a different build would suit the product better, that is in the reply too.
- 03
Approve the dieline
The flat drawing is yours to check: which panel is the front, where the folds fall, how deep the cavity really is.
- 04
Artwork on the dieline
You place your design on the flat we sent, or we place it for you, and you see a proof before anything goes to press.
- 05
A sample if you want one
A plain unprinted sample at the finished size shows fit and construction — the things a drawing cannot.
- 06
Cut, printed, shipped
The die is cut once and kept, so every reorder skips the tooling and goes straight to press at a lower unit price.
Format
Vector PDF or AI where possible. Raster artwork at 300dpi at final size, in CMYK.
Bleed
3 mm past every trim line, so a fraction of drift on the cutter never leaves a white edge.
Safe area
Keep type and anything important 4 mm inside the cut and away from every fold.
Color
Convert to CMYK before sending. Uncoated stock prints lighter; a spot color is the only exact match.
Fonts
Outline them or supply the files. A missing font substitutes silently and the proof will not match.
Barcodes
On a light, matte, unvarnished patch with the quiet zone clear — a code on gloss fails the scanner.
Not set up that way? Send it anyway — fixing a file is a short conversation, and we check every one before press. Our guide to preparing print files covers each point.
Every finish here is a decision about light on a shelf, not about luxury.
Matte lamination
Reads considered, hides marks, takes a ballpoint.
Gloss lamination
Lifts color; glares under shop lighting.
Soft-touch
Velvet in the hand; shows fingerprints in a bag.
Hot foil
Real metal leaf — the most reliable premium signal.
Emboss / deboss
Shape with no ink; works in the dark.
Spot UV
Gloss shapes on a matte field.
Uncoated kraft
Warm, natural, mutes color.
Textured stock
Texture in the paper; cannot scuff off.
Not sure which suits the shelf it sells from? Say where the product is sold and we suggest one — our notes on specialty finishes show them on real boxes.
Sizing a folding carton so the die comes out right: jump rope boxes
Measure the product, not the box it is in now. A carton is built around what has to fit inside it, assembled — cap on, lid fitted, folded if it folds — at its widest point in each direction. Send those three numbers and say which is which.
- Length x width x height
- Internal, always. External dimensions include the board and are what the carrier measures, not what the product needs.
- Clearance
- 2–3 mm a side for a snug fit; more where an insert or void fill goes in. A carton cut exactly to the product is slow to pack and transmits every knock.
- Board thickness
- Heavier board takes internal space from the product. It matters most on small boxes, where four walls of 24pt is a real share of the cavity.
- Varies between batches?
- Glass, textiles, molded parts and cured soap all do. Measure several and build to the largest.
- Cutting tolerance
- Plus or minus 1 mm on folding board. Confirmed on a plain sample before the run.
- Units
- Metric or imperial, as long as you say which. Mixing them in one spec is where mistakes happen.
Not sure your numbers are right? Send the product dimensions rather than the box dimensions and we work the box out — the full method is in our guide to measuring for a box.

Frequently asked questions
Got a question about jump rope boxes? The answers below cover what we get asked most. If yours is not here, send it with a brief, message us on WhatsApp, or call +1 503-461-4788 — we reply the same working day.
How is the rope held in the box?
A board insert with a circular channel holds the cable in a coil and two slots seat the handles across it.
Will the cable spring out when the box is opened?
Not from the channel. Steel cable holds a coil; PVC gets a wider channel and a tie.
Can the box have a window?
Yes, over the handles and the coil, with a hang tab for a peg wall.
What about a weighted rope?
A lidded box with a foam insert and a rigid or E-flute base, drop-tested with the rope in it.
What is the minimum order?
100 boxes.
Can the box hold spare cables too?
Yes, in a second cell in the insert.
Does it ship flat?
Cartons and board inserts do. Foam inserts ship as they are.
Will the handle grip react with the box?
Not with a plain interior and no film contact, which we specify for coated handles.
Can the window be plastic-free?
Yes, a paper-based film, or no film for a rope that can be touched.
Do I need to send the rope?
Yes. The coil channel is set from the cable diameter and stiffness.
Can I print a sizing guide on the box?
Yes, on the back, with a QR to a tutorial.
Do you ship outside the US?
Yes, to the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, quoted in the delivery currency.
