Rigid Box Styles

Happy Days!
In our previous article, we gave information about what Rigid Box is. In this article, we will give information about the styles of the Rigid Box.

Rigid tubes, also known as rolled-edge tube packaging, are a distinctive and environmentally friendly choice for those seeking a unique paper packaging option.
Rigid tube packaging is a kind of rigid box that is cylindrical, lacks corners, and usually has a telescopic or shoulder-neck style of opening.
A common example of a rigid tube is a Pringles container.
Rigid tubes are frequently used to package small items such as beverages, cosmetics, stationary, and accessories with a convenient opening mechanism.

The “snap” sound made when a magnetic closure rigid box is closed can be enjoyable to some people, as the two magnets in the box lock together firmly.
Magnetic closure rigid boxes have two magnets inside that lock together to securely close the box.
These boxes are durable and sturdy, and customers are unlikely to throw them away, making them an eco-friendly option for storing items such as jewelry and makeup.
The structural design of magnetic closure boxes gives them a high-end feel and a memorable unboxing experience.
Magnetic closure boxes can be found in standard and collapsible styles.
Standard styles are more durable, while collapsible magnetic closure rigid boxes can be shipped flat, which can reduce shipping and handling costs.
Collapsible rigid boxes often come with double-sided tape that adheres to the collapsible faces of the box, making it no longer collapsible for customers. Customers may not even realize the box was collapsible to begin with.

Telescopic, or telescope, rigid boxes, also known as topload, 2-piece rigid boxes or lid and tray rigid packaging, have a lid that comes off the base vertically.
This type of opening is commonly seen on boxes for items such as Monopoly games or iPhones, although the appearance and feel of the boxes can vary significantly.
Higher-end telescope boxes, like those for smartphones, are made with precise measurements to allow for a slow-opening speed as the base slides out from under the lid.
Telescopic boxes are sturdier than many other rigid box styles, as there are four overlapping faces of both the lid and base when closed.
This makes telescopic boxes a good choice for products that are expected to be used frequently, making them a robust packaging option.
Partial cover rigid boxes are a type of telescopic rigid box in which the lid only covers part of the base, making it easier to open and close.

There is something satisfying about opening a small drawer-like box and finding a new product inside.
Drawer style rigid boxes, also known as slipcase, slide, or match rigid boxes, open in a similar way to matchboxes.
These boxes have either an attached ribbon pull or a semi-circle thumb hole for opening and are similar to telescopic rigid boxes, but with a horizontal opening instead of a vertical one.
Telescopic boxes are good for products that should be kept straight and level when the box is opened, while drawer style boxes can be useful for preventing accidents or disasters, such as an iPhone breaking during unboxing.
Drawer style boxes can also be made with integrated mechanisms for child safety, to prevent young children from opening potentially harmful products.

This type of rigid box has multiple layers, including a nick or shoulder inner layer that the lid sits on top of.
This type of packaging allows for a customizable unboxing experience, as it can be tailored to match your brand’s colors and styles.
After deciding on the type of rigid box packaging you prefer, the next step is to consider what inserts will go inside.
Designers often leave the neck portion of the shoulder-neck rigid box partially exposed to give the impression of multiple layers or packages, creating a sense of mystery for customers as they view a high-end product.

Additional packaging materials like box inserts are often used when designing rigid packaging.
Packaging inserts are a good choice for creating a memorable unboxing experience with a rigid box.
Custom packaging inserts are made specifically for your product, helping it stay in place and providing a high degree of shock protection, including against drops and rough handling.
While some products may fit perfectly within a rigid box, this is not always the case.
Custom inserts are commonly made from materials such as paperboard, corrugated, molded pulp, foam, or plastic.
