Packaging That Feels Like Opening a Gift
Premium 1.5mm–3mm chipboard rigid boxes with magnetic closures, specialty wraps, and custom inserts starting at $1.25 per unit.
Rigid boxes are the gold standard of luxury packaging. Built from 1.5mm–3mm chipboard wrapped in specialty papers, they hold their shape permanently — no folding, no creasing, no compromise. Your customer picks up a rigid box and immediately knows they're holding something worth protecting. We manufacture rigid boxes in every configuration that matters: two-piece lift-off lids, magnetic snap closures, hinged book-style openings, drawer slides, and collapsible flat-ship designs. Each box starts as raw greyboard, gets wrapped in your choice of art paper, textured linen, soft-touch film, or faux leather, then finished with foil stamping, embossing, or spot UV. Interior options include flocked velvet, satin fabric, EVA foam, and custom die-cut cardboard inserts. Pricing runs $1.25–$4.50 per unit depending on size, material complexity, and finishing. Our MOQ is just 100 units — accessible for startups testing premium positioning without committing to thousands. Lead time is 12–18 business days from artwork approval to delivery.
Custom rigid boxes (also called set-up boxes) are pre-assembled, non-collapsible packaging built from 1.5mm–3mm chipboard wrapped in printed specialty paper. Unlike folding cartons that ship flat and fold at the fulfillment center, rigid boxes arrive fully formed and ready to fill. That structural permanence is exactly what makes them the packaging of choice for Apple, Tiffany, Rolex, and every luxury brand that treats the box as part of the product.
The construction follows a simple but precise process: greyboard is die-cut and assembled into the box structure, then wrapped in your chosen exterior material — art paper for vibrant printing, textured linen for tactile appeal, or soft-touch film for a velvet finish. Closures range from simple lift-off lids (two-piece) to magnetic snap mechanisms, hinged book openings, and drawer slides. Inside, custom inserts in flocked velvet, satin, EVA foam, or die-cut cardboard cradle your product in presentation-grade luxury.
What separates our rigid boxes from commodity options: we print at 300 DPI on a Heidelberg press, laminate with genuine BOPP film (not cheap PVC), and hand-assemble every box through a 14-step quality process. Board thickness options include 1.5mm for lightweight items (jewelry, cosmetics), 2mm for standard products (perfume, electronics), and 3mm for heavy or oversized items (wine bottles, corporate gifts weighing up to 5 lbs).
Pricing starts at $1.25/unit for simple two-piece boxes at 1,000+ quantity, scaling to $3.50–$4.50 for complex configurations with magnetic closures, foil stamping, and velvet interiors. MOQ is 100 units. Lead time runs 12–18 business days.
