01 — Overview
Where structure meets
storytelling.
A rigid box — also called a set-up box — is constructed from thick greyboard wrapped in printed paper, fabric or specialty material. Unlike folding cartons, rigid boxes are non-collapsible, holding their shape to convey weight, permanence and value.
We engineer rigid boxes across formats and price tiers, from minimalist apparel packaging to ultra-premium hinged presentation cases with magnetic closures, EVA inserts, ribbon pulls and custom embellishments.

03 — Types of Rigid Boxes
Six constructions,
endless variations.
Every rigid box format we produce is engineered to a brief — material, weight, tolerance, mechanism and finish. Below are the constructions we manufacture most often.
T01
Magnetic Closure Box
Book-style hinged lid with concealed magnets.
Elegant, sturdy, and effortlessly premium — our magnetic closure boxes are the top choice for luxury corporate gifts. With seamless opening and a satisfying magnetic snap, these boxes combine functionality with sophistication.
Common usesApparel, electronics, subscription kits, premium gifting, corporate hampers.
T02
Collapsible Rigid Box
Foldable rigid construction with magnetic assembly.
Ships flat and snaps into a fully rigid box at the point of use — combining the strength of a set-up box with the freight efficiency of a folding carton. Ideal for D2C brands.
Common usesE-commerce gifting, subscription, retail packaging, festive kits.
T03
Telescopic (Two-Piece) Box
Separate lid and base that fit over each other.
The classic shoebox-style construction. Lid and base are manufactured independently and the lid telescopes fully over the base — partial or full depth. Sturdy, timeless and protective.
Common usesFootwear, hampers, presentation kits, sweet boxes, gift sets.
T04
Shoulder Neck Box
Three-piece box with an inner collar that lifts the lid.
A premium variation of the telescopic format. An inner neck (shoulder) wraps the base and elevates the lid slightly, creating a refined reveal and a tighter, more deliberate closure.
Common usesSpirits, perfume, watches, jewellery, premium electronics.
T05
Drawer & Sleeve Box
Inner tray that slides into an outer sleeve.
A two-part construction where a rigid tray slides into a printed outer sleeve. Excellent for sequential branding — sleeve reveals the brand, tray showcases the product.
Common usesCosmetics, jewellery, chocolates, tech accessories, sample kits.
T06
Book-Style Box
Designed to look and open like a hardcover book.
A flat-format rigid box engineered with a book spine and front flap closure (often magnetic). Surfaces accept cloth, leatherette or fine printed papers for an editorial feel.
Common usesCoffee table editions, brand books, luxury invitations, hampers.
