What is a rigid box?
-
A rigid box is made from cold-laminated greyboard, reinforced with high-end art paper, Couche paper, or wrapped in velvet fabric.
-
It is commonly used for luxury items such as cosmetics, jewelry, watches, premium gifts, and wine boxes.
-
Advantages: Elegant, sturdy, and highly customizable in terms of shape, color, and material. It can include EVA foam, velvet lining, soft cushions, or cardboard trays to enhance the product presentation.
-
Disadvantages: Bulky and takes up more storage and shipping space compared to thinner packaging types.
What is a corrugated box?

A corrugated box is made from fluted cardboard sandwiched between two layers of paper.

It is typically used for shipping fragile products like ceramics, glass bottles, or standard gift packaging.
-
Advantages: Cost-effective, lightweight, easy to produce in large quantities, and space-saving during storage and transit.
-
Disadvantages: Lacks a premium appearance and is not suitable for products that require high-end brand positioning.
