Rigid boxes
From everyday users to social media influencers, consumers are increasingly paying attention to packaging. Posting unpacking videos is common, putting pressure on brand owners to give consumers something extra to make their packaging more popular.
Rigid boxes give you an ideal combination of outstanding branding opportunities, rugged product protection and a high sustainable image.
Rigid box characteristics
Rigid boxes (also known as setting boxes) are thicker than normal folding cartons and do not fold or fold. They are ideal for use when the packaging content is heavy and requires additional support, or when you want to promote the high perceived value of the product.
Materials and finishing
Rigid boxes are often packaged to add more special effects. They come in a wide variety of styles, shapes and closure types, so you can customize and decorate them the way you want them to look and feel special.
You can use grey board or wood as the base material. The grey board contains several layers of recycled fiber, giving the box its strength and unique properties.
