Thumb Cut Game Box Lid
Thumb cuts are an eclipse the size of a finger tip cut into the box lids for easy removal. No more struggling to pull the lid off your board game!
Adding thumb holes is a small detail, but one that shows your customers you care about the functionality of your packaging as much as your game’s mechanics. It’s a practical option that will make a big impact on your project.
Thumb cuts are added to tuck boxes by default for both our international and domestic print service. However, they do not come as a standard option for two piece boxes, so please keep that in mind when filling out a quote or when sending us your project specs.
