FAQs

Depending on which way you turn your box can effect on how you would set up your artwork, specifically the panel that sits on the bottom.
This can be a subjective choice but we would recommend if the box is small and can be turned with one hand then the artwork should be set up side to side, for a larger box we would advise setting up the bottom panel so it is viewed from head to foot as people would tend to hold these with both hands. See diagrams below for set up guide or get in touch if you need more assistance.
