Custom Rigid Boxes
Rigid boxes, also called setup boxes, are made from grayboard wrapped in printed paper. They hold their shape on a shelf, feel substantial in the hand, and suit products where the packaging is part of the gift: candles, jewellery, cosmetics sets and gift collections.
That structure takes longer to build than a folding carton, which is why rigid production is typically 18–25 days. For a first test, a single sample is a sensible step before committing to a full run, and the dieline is still free within 24 hours.

Frequently asked questions
What is the minimum order for custom rigid boxes?
Rigid boxes start at 200 pieces. A single sample can come first, so you can check the lid fit, closure and finish before mass production.
What rigid box styles do you make?
Lid-and-base boxes, magnetic-closure boxes, drawer boxes and book-style boxes, with inserts in moulded pulp, EVA foam or corrugated board where the product needs holding in place.
Why do rigid boxes take longer than folding cartons?
The grayboard structure, wrap-paper application and assembly take more steps than a folding carton. Production is typically 18–25 days depending on style and finishing.
What finishes are available?
Matte and gloss lamination, foil stamping, spot UV, embossing and debossing, and soft-touch lamination. Finishes can be combined for a premium, branded feel.
