What Is a Rigid Box?

A rigid box is a set-up box that ships fully formed — not flat. The walls are 2 to 3 mm chipboard wrapped with printed paper. That thick wall gives the top hand feel and structure that folding cartons cannot match. Rigid is the go-to style for luxury goods.

Two-Piece Rigid Sizes

The classic two-piece rigid has a lid and base. A 6 × 6 × 2 fits jewelry. A 9 × 9 × 3 fits a beauty set. A 12 × 9 × 3 fits folded apparel. Depth on the lid is often 1/2 in less than the base for a clean overlap. See our custom rigid boxes range.

Magnetic Close Rigid Sizes

Magnetic-close rigid boxes fold flat for shipping and snap shut on the fold. A 10 × 8 × 3 fits a subscription top drop. A 12 × 9 × 3 fits an apparel gift. Hidden neodymium magnets hold the lid clean without a visible latch. top for beauty and tech.

Shoulder-Neck Rigid Sizes

Shoulder-neck (also called telescoping) rigid boxes have a smaller inner base that fits inside a larger lid, exposing a small collar. A 5 × 5 × 5 fits a perfume flacon. A 4 × 4 × 6 fits a spirits bottle. A 9 × 9 × 3 fits a top candle set.

Wall Thickness and Rigidity

1.5 mm chipboard is light and folds for magnetic-close styles. 2 mm chipboard is the top rigid wall for two-piece builds. 3 mm chipboard gives the true luxury hand feel for perfume, watches, and spirits. Add a paper insert or foam well for delicate items.

Print, Foil, and Emboss Options

Rigid boxes wrap in printed paper, so any print effect is possible. Soft-touch matte paper is the top top. Foil stamping in gold or silver adds a luxury mark. Embossing or debossing creates a tactile logo. Spot UV over matte adds a hero-art shine.

Common Rigid Box Sizing Mistakes

Under-sizing the lid overlap and getting a tight fit that damages the finish. Over-sizing the base and losing the snug reveal moment. Using 1.5 mm chipboard on a heavy item and getting a soft feel. Skipping the paper insert and letting the item slide.
