Gpk Boxes

The GPK Boxes page highlights the different box styles Garbage Pail Kids cards have come in over the years.

The earliest example here is the wax pack box, used for Original Series 1 through Original Series 15, with 48 packs to a box and a lid meant to stand up on a counter. Opening the perforation to show it off ruined the mint condition most collectors wanted to keep, so a lot of boxes survive with that top still intact.

When Topps brought GPK back in the 00s, the packaging changed with it. Bonus and blaster boxes became a mainstay for the newer foil packs, with sealed contents, discount appeal, and box exclusives. Other formats followed, including gravity feed boxes for mass-retail outlets, hobby boxes for comic and card shops, collector edition hobby boxes with premium content, chrome boxes that recalled the old wax style, and blister packs that bundled packs with extra material.
