Custom Rigid Boxes Packaging

1 mm greyboard is appropriate for smaller rigid boxes holding jewellery, accessories, or cosmetics under 200 g. 1.5–2 mm suits most mid-range gift and retail applications — electronics accessories, candles, beauty sets — and handles products up to approximately 1 kg reliably. 2–3 mm is specified for prestige applications where the weight of the box is itself a quality signal, or for products over 1 kg where structural rigidity under load is critical.

A two-piece rigid box uses a separate lid that lifts completely off the base — the opening and closing action is deliberate and requires both hands. A magnetic closure box has neodymium magnet strips embedded in both the lid and the base panel, allowing the lid to snap shut and be opened with one hand. Magnetic closure boxes are preferred for products that will be opened and closed repeatedly by the customer — luxury cosmetics, electronics accessories, collectibles — where the tactile quality of the closure becomes part of the product experience.

Standard wrap paper options include gloss art paper (vivid colour, high shine), matte art paper (refined, anti-fingerprint surface, the most widely used), soft-touch paper (velvet-like tactile feel), and textured uncoated stock (natural, premium — widely used by fragrance and jewellery brands). Specialty papers including linen, cotton-feel, and metallic variants are available for applications where a distinctive material character is part of the brand aesthetic.

Yes. Interior options include plain white board, full-colour printed interior panels (popular for brands that want to extend the brand experience inside the box), velvet-flocked card liner, silk or satin liner for jewellery and luxury cosmetics applications, foam cavity inserts shaped to the product, vacuum-formed PET trays for multi-piece presentations, and cardboard divider configurations for assortment products.

Yes. Standard two-piece lid-and-base format (no magnets), shoulder-neck format (a stepped lid that fits over a recessed base shoulder for precise alignment), clamshell format (a single hinged unit), and drawer (sleeve-and-tray) format are all available without magnetic closures. The structural format should match the opening experience the product brief requires.

Standard production for rigid box formats is 10–14 business days from artwork approval — slightly longer than folding carton work due to the greyboard cutting, forming, and wrapping process steps involved. Express production is available on some rigid formats; confirm lead time availability with our team before submitting an order if you have a specific deadline.

Standard rigid lid-and-base boxes do not flat-pack — the greyboard core is pre-formed and permanently glued. Magnetic closure flat-pack rigid boxes are available as a hybrid format — they fold flat like a carton for storage and shipping efficiency but assemble into a rigid-feeling box with the magnetic closure mechanism. This format is popular for e-commerce brands that need rigid-quality presentation with the storage efficiency of a flat-pack format.
