In short
A rigid box is made from thick greyboard wrapped in printed or specialty paper. It does not fold flat, and it is the box used for phones, perfume and luxury gifts. Box Sense makes rigid boxes in any size from 10 boxes.
A rigid box is chosen for how it feels. The board is two to three times thicker than a carton, the corners are wrapped by hand or machine, and the lid closes with weight.
It costs more and takes more room to ship and store than a carton, so it earns its place on products where presentation supports the price.
How to specify a rigid box
- Structure. Lift-off lid, magnetic flap, drawer, or shoulder neck. Each opens differently.
- Board. Greyboard from about 1.5 mm to 3 mm; thicker for larger boxes.
- Wrap. Printed art paper, or a textured, soft-touch or colored specialty paper.
- Insert. Paperboard, foam or molded pulp, shaped to the product.
Where to start
- Custom Rigid Boxes: the full range of set-up boxes.
- Two Piece Boxes: classic lift-off lid and base.
- Magnetic Closure Boxes: a hinged lid with a magnetic snap.
- Drawer Boxes: a tray that slides out of a sleeve.
- Collapsible Rigid Boxes: a rigid box that ships flat to cut freight.
Keeping the cost under control
Size and handwork drive the cost. A collapsible rigid box ships flat and saves freight and storage. A printed wrap with one foil detail often looks as good as several special finishes together.
FAQ
Why do rigid boxes cost more than cartons?+
They use thicker board, a separate wrap and more assembly, and they ship set up, which takes more space.
Can a rigid box ship flat?+
Yes. Collapsible rigid boxes fold flat and are set up when you pack.
What is the minimum order?+
10 boxes. Short runs are printed digitally, and larger runs move to offset printing for a lower cost per box.
