35mm business card TOUGH box — frequently asked questions
What are the dimensions of the WestonBoxes 35mm business card TOUGH box and how many cards does it hold?
The 35mm business card TOUGH box measures 100 x 65 x 37mm externally and 95 x 60 x 35mm internally — identical dimensions to the standard 35mm business card box. It holds approximately 125 standard business cards (85 x 55mm) flat and protected.
Why do printers use TOUGH boxes for despatching business cards?
The impact-resistant construction means TOUGH boxes survive courier handling without cracking — so printed business cards arrive at the client's door in perfect condition. The box then becomes the client's storage box as they work through the pack, and can be repurposed once empty. It is not a single-use packaging item.
What is the difference between the TOUGH and standard 35mm business card box?
The dimensions and design are identical — the difference is the material. The TOUGH box is made from a high-impact grade of polypropylene that offers significantly improved resistance to knocks, drops, and heavy handling. The TOUGH box is translucent white — semi-transparent rather than fully opaque, through which card details are just visible when pressed against the inside of the lid. The standard box is available in clear transparent and a range of transparent colours.
What else can I store in the 35mm business card TOUGH box?
The compact format makes this box popular with crafters and hobbyists for storing small easy-to-lose items — beads, sequins, buttons, sewing pins, and seed beads. Also popular in the workshop for nails, screws, and small fixings. If it fits within 95 x 60mm and is no taller than 35mm it will store neatly in this box.
What material is the WestonBoxes 35mm business card TOUGH box made from?
The box is made from high-impact PP5 polypropylene — a chemically inert, recyclable plastic that is acid-free, moisture-resistant, and significantly more robust than standard polypropylene. Translucent white finish. Wipes clean easily.
