Custom rigid boxes are thick, sturdy and never fold flat, wrapped in printed or specialty paper. Made for premium products, gift sets and anything worth keeping.
Rigid boxes are built from greyboard that is usually 1.5 to 3 mm thick, several times thicker than a folding carton. The style decides how the box opens and how it feels in the hand. For background on the material, see this overview of paperboard grades.
| Style | How it opens | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Two-piece | A lid lifts off a separate base | Apparel, gift sets, shoes, accessories |
| Magnetic closure | A hinged lid that snaps shut with hidden magnets | Cosmetics, electronics, PR and gift boxes |
| Drawer | A tray slides out of a sleeve | Jewelry, chocolates, small luxury items |
| Shoulder | A lid sits on a raised inner neck | Perfume, watches, high-end bottles |
| Collapsible | Ships flat and snaps into a rigid box | Subscription boxes and brands saving on shipping |
Each one is built by hand, so minimums and lead times can differ from folding cartons. Ask us for a quote on your exact style.
Custom rigid boxes feel heavy and solid the moment they are picked up. That weight tells customers the product inside is premium before they even open it.
Because the board does not fold, these boxes protect fragile and high-value items well and are often kept and reused, so your logo stays in front of the customer.
The thick board takes premium finishes beautifully: foil stamping, embossing, soft-touch paper and fitted inserts. For a lighter, lower-cost option, compare cardboard boxes.
Our luxury rigid boxes double as rigid gift boxes for launches and PR kits, and magnetic closure boxes are the most requested style.
