Format sheet / Rigid boxes / Rev. 2026.10
A rigid box holds its shape before it is opened. We engineer the shell, wrap allowance, closure, and insert as one assembly, then finish the surface as a separate production step.

Structure
Built for beauty, fragrance, electronics, and premium gifting programs where shelf presence and repeatable hand-feel matter.
1.5–2.5 mm greyboard is cut, grooved, and hand-wrapped with a 157–200 gsm printed sheet. Turn-in margins are set to protect the print at every corner.
Friction-fit, necked lid, or concealed magnet. We hold a 2–4 mm reveal on standard lids; tighter reveals are specified only where the wrap and board allow.
Paperboard, EVA, molded pulp, or thermoformed inserts are drawn from the product envelope, not dropped in after the box is approved.
Rigid boxes ship assembled with tissue interleaving and export cartons sized to the finished unit. Freight volume is quoted before the structure is locked.
Best for beauty, fragrance, electronics, premium gifting. Send the product envelope and pack weight; we will confirm the board call before quoting.
