Rigid boxes

Rigid boxes are the heavy, satisfying boxes that come with nice watches, candles and phones. They are made from thick chipboard wrapped in printed or textured paper, and they never fold flat. When the box is part of the gift, this is the one.

  • Two piece, magnetic, drawer
  • Wrapped in any paper

Styles to choose from

The two piece box (a lid and a base) is the classic. A magnetic closure box has a hinged lid that snaps shut with hidden magnets. A drawer box slides out of a sleeve. A book style box opens like a cover. Each can be wrapped in printed paper, textured paper, kraft or soft touch stock.

The details that make it feel premium

Foil stamping and embossing on the lid, a printed or coloured lining, a ribbon pull, a fitted insert that holds the product just so. Rigid boxes are where these touches pay off. We will help you choose a few that matter instead of all of them.

What to know about cost and freight

Rigid boxes are built by hand and ship fully formed, so they cost more per unit and take more space in transit than folding cartons. If shipping volume is a concern, ask about collapsible rigid boxes, which fold flat and pop back into shape.

Who orders these

Rigid Boxes: common questions

What is a rigid box?

A sturdy box made from thick chipboard wrapped in paper. It does not fold flat and is used for premium products and gifts.

What is the difference between a rigid box and a folding carton?

A folding carton is a single sheet of thinner paperboard that ships flat. A rigid box is thick board wrapped in paper, built fully assembled, and feels much more substantial.

Can rigid boxes be recycled?

The chipboard and paper are recyclable. Magnets, foam inserts and some laminations should be separated first, so ask us about the most recyclable build.

Can you make collapsible rigid boxes?

Yes. Collapsible rigid boxes fold flat for shipping and storage, then pop into shape, which saves a lot of freight.
