What Are Custom Rigid Boxes?
Cubit Packaging manufactures custom rigid setup boxes in Fremont, California — magnetic closure, two-piece, drawer, book-style and sleeve formats with foil stamping and foam or velvet inserts. Minimum order is 50 boxes and standard production is 5-7 days.
*Written by the Cubit Packaging editorial team. Technical specifications verified by our packaging engineers with 10+ years in custom manufacturing. Last updated June 2026.*
A custom rigid box (also called a setup box) is a non-collapsible, premium packaging structure built from thick chipboard (1.5mm–3mm) wrapped tightly in printed paper. Unlike folding cartons, rigid boxes arrive fully assembled and maintain their shape permanently — making them the industry standard for luxury cosmetics, jewelry, electronics, spirits, and corporate gifts. Pricing ranges from $3.50–$9.00/unit for standard configurations to $8.00–$25.00/unit for complex magnetic closures with custom inserts.
Custom rigid boxes provide the highest level of structural integrity and presentation for retail packaging. Built from highly durable chipboard ranging from 1.5mm (60pt) to 3mm (120pt), these setup boxes are tightly wrapped in customized paper using precision turned-edge construction. The result is a seamless, smooth exterior with crisp 90-degree corners and zero visible corrugated flutes — a finish that folding cartons and corrugated boxes cannot replicate.
You can design your rigid packaging with various closure styles: telescopic (lift-off) lids, hidden magnetic closures, drawer slipcases, book-style hinged lids, shoulder-and-neck configurations, and collapsible flat-shipping formats. Choose from premium printing and finishing techniques including hot foil stamping (gold, silver, copper, holographic), textured blind embossing, soft-touch velvet lamination, spot UV, and interior printing. We also manufacture custom die-cut EVA foam inserts, velvet-flocked trays, and satin ribbon pulls to hold your products precisely in position.
Brands in luxury cosmetics, consumer electronics, fine jewelry, premium spirits, and corporate gifting choose Cubit to manufacture their rigid boxes. We use FSC-certified materials and help you navigate the entire production process — from selecting the right chipboard weight and covering material to managing the complex automated turned-edge construction. Standard turnaround is 10–12 business days. Rush orders available in 5–7 days.
The global custom rigid packaging market is valued at $28.3 billion and projected to reach $38.7 billion by 2030, growing at 4.6% CAGR (Grand View Research, 2024). Premium unboxing experiences drive 40% of consumers to share brand packaging on social media (Dotcom Distribution, 2024).

Detailed view of the materials we use.

3.0mm (120pt) Extra Thick Chipboard
Delivers maximum structural strength and weight for heavy or ultra-luxury items. Ideal for premium liquor bottles, large footwear, and high-value collector sets.
157gsm C2S Art Paper Wrap
A smooth, coated paper that wraps cleanly around sharp chipboard corners without tearing. Serves as the perfect canvas for vibrant, high-resolution full-color offset printing.
130gsm Textured Specialty Paper
Features a built-in tactile surface like linen or woodgrain before any printing is applied. Gives minimalist designs a sophisticated, high-end feel without relying on complex graphics.
Soft-Touch Velvet Paper Wrap
Pre-coated paper that feels like suede or soft velvet to the touch. Absorbs light beautifully and contrasts perfectly with highly reflective metallic foil stamping.
100% Recycled Chipboard Core
Made entirely from post-consumer waste to reduce environmental impact. Functions exactly like standard chipboard, keeping your packaging strong while supporting your sustainability goals.
FSC-Certified Kraft Paper Wrap
Unbleached, naturally brown wrapping paper sourced from responsibly managed forests. Provides an earthy, organic look perfect for natural skincare and artisanal food brands.
Woven Linen Fabric Wrap
Replaces standard paper with actual woven fabric glued smoothly over the rigid chipboard. Creates an ultra-premium, durable exterior commonly used for luxury jewelry and keepsake boxes.
Printing & Finishing
Premium print methods and finishing options to make your packaging stand out.
Offset Lithography
Provides the highest quality full-color printing for complex artwork and photographic designs. Best for large volume runs requiring exact Pantone color matching.
Digital Printing
Offers quick turnaround times for low-volume orders or variable data printing. Works perfectly for prototyping or limited edition custom rigid boxes.
Screen Printing
Applies thick, vibrant layers of ink directly to the paper wrap. Excellent for bold, single-color designs on dark or textured specialty papers.
Hot Foil Stamping
Presses metallic foil into the paper using a heated die to create a highly reflective surface. Ideal for luxury logos and premium typography accents.
Spot UV Varnish
Applies a clear, glossy coating to specific areas of the printed design. Creates a striking contrast against matte or soft-touch laminated backgrounds.
Raised (3D) Spot UV
Adds physical height to the high-gloss varnish for a tactile, raised effect. Gives logos and patterns a premium feel that customers can touch.
Blind Embossing
Pushes the wrapping paper up from underneath to create a raised, ink-free design. Adds subtle, sophisticated texture to minimalist packaging.
White Ink Printing
Prints an opaque white layer onto dark or natural Kraft paper substrates. Ensures vibrant colors pop effectively without getting lost in the dark background.
Unlimited Customization
Every inch of your packaging can be customized to match your brand.
Custom Molded EVA Foam Inserts
High-density foam cut perfectly to the shape of your product. Prevents delicate items from shifting during transit and presents them cleanly upon opening.
Hidden Magnetic Closures
Concealed magnets built directly into the chipboard rim and lid flap. Provides a satisfying snap shut and keeps book-style rigid boxes securely closed without external hardware.
Ribbon Pulls and Ties
Grosgrain or satin ribbons integrated into the base tray or slipcase. Helps customers easily pull open tight-fitting drawers or lift heavy products out of deep box bases.
Velvet-Flocked Trays
A soft, fuzzy velvet layer applied over foam or molded plastic inserts. Adds a luxurious visual and tactile element specifically suited for jewelry, watches, and perfumes.
V-Grooved 90-Degree Corners
A specialized cutting technique that removes a V-shaped notch from the chipboard before folding. Creates incredibly sharp, precise edges rather than rounded, bulky corners.
Custom Die-Cut Windows
Precise openings cut through the thick chipboard lid and backed with clear PET film. Allows customers to see the premium product inside without opening the sealed retail box.
