What are Custom Rigid Gift Boxes?

The highest achievement of custom packaging is a type of deluxe and non-collapsible packaging design. Rigid gift boxes have the features that make them a high-end packaging option. These boxes are made of dense greyboard or chipboard substrates that have a thickness of 1.5mm and 3.5mm. The inner side of custom rigid gift boxes is lined with beautiful wrapping papers.

The major distinctive feature of a rigid box for gifts is their luxurious nature. Customers can use them, which will create a strong brand recall. As soon as a recipient picks up the lid of a well-designed gift box, he builds a positive perception about your brand. The average structure of a rigid packaging box is as follows:

The Core Board

The main material of any rigid gift box is a solid panel of greyboard or chipboard. This is a laminated and compressed board that features the structural integrity that provides rigid boxes with their trademark weight and strength. Greyboard is not flexible or crushed when handled regularly, which makes it different from thin paperboard.

The Wrap Layer

On top of the core board, manufacturers place a wrap or liner board. This is the material that appears on the outside and sometimes inside the box. A water-based adhesive is used to stick the liner board and the greyboard. Printing and add-ons are applied to the surface of the linerboard.

Box Assembly 

Rigid gift boxes are usually hand assembled or made with precision machinery. These boxes can also be assembled with machines, where corners are folded and reinforced to make gap-free edges that form a perfect square. At our company, we ensure that there are no bubbles and misalignment in box assembly for a professional-looking packaging.

The Interior

For functional presentation and a lasting impact, the interiors of the box have color-matched paper lining or satin-wrapped foam inserts. Aside from this, thermoformed trays and cardboard inserts are added to the boxes for a refined appearance.

Printing 

Custom printed rigid gift boxes make the overall customer experience memorable and allow you to get a promotional tool. We have several printing options, but it is difficult to print on a chipboard. This material is highly absorptive and fades the final design. Therefore, we use an external wrap for easy printing and vibrant designs.

Surface Finishing 

In addition to the underlying wrap, rigid gift boxes with logo have surface finishing effects that create visual depth and tactile appeal. We know that a gift packaging box needs to be elegant, which is why our company gives multiple finishing options. Some of them are:

Hot Foil Stamping

This is the most influential form of finishing method in the production of rigid gift boxes. Heat-transferred onto the box surface with precision to create a shiny metallic impression of logos and typography. When a matte or velvet surface is foil-stamped, it produces a luxurious product presentation.

Embossing and Debossing

Impressions in 3D without ink or foil on the box surface. The two methods provide a sculptural effect that shows the exclusive taste of your brand. You can combine these two add-ons with foil stamping for a high-end look.

Spot UV Varnish

This is a selective gloss finish that is used on a matte surface on particular spots. The aesthetic contrast of the flat matte and high-gloss spot UV has been done beautifully. Spot UV creates a visual effect that attracts customers to your product.

Soft-Touch Lamination

This is a specialized coating that is applied to the printed paper wraps, which converts the surface to a velvety and fingerprint-proof surface. Soft-touch lamination is applied to custom rigid gift boxes wholesale to provide the tactile experience to regular printed paper wraps at a comparatively low cost.

Foam Inserts

EVA or polyurethane foam is a die-cut foam insert that is used to secure products in an upright position. Inserts in rigid gift packaging boxes cushion delicate products against movement and provide a professional surface to display products.

Ribbon Pulls and Fabric Handles

Interior ribbon pulls are satin strips of ribbon attached to the bottom of the box. They enable the recipient to raise interior trays of the box without dropping the product. Ribbon pulls provide some ritual to the unboxing experience. Rigid slide boxes usually have an out-of-ribbon option.

Industry Applications

Rigid boxes for gifts are used by brands and corporations as a limited-edition product. From skincare to jewelry and electronics to apparel, all brands can choose these boxes for a professional product presentation. Moreover, corporations and event organizers can use these boxes to pack favors and giveaways.
