Collapsible Foldable Rigid Box

Custom Collapsible Boxes Wholesale: Foldable Rigid Gift Boxes That Ship Flat

What a collapsible rigid box is

A collapsible rigid box has the look of a rigid box but folds flat for shipping and storage. When it arrives, you unfold the sides and the lid, and the box holds its shape. A foldable rigid box is useful when freight cost is a concern, since flat boxes take much less space than set-up boxes. A collapsible gift box is often paired with a magnetic lid, which is why many brands search for a collapsible magnetic box. A flat pack rigid box can be set up in a few seconds, so it works for brands that pack many orders. Foldable gift boxes are popular for subscription kits, holiday sets, and PR mailers. Foldable boxes for beauty brands save money without losing the gift feel.

Sizes and how to measure

Box size is written as length x width x height, measured inside. Measure your product at its widest points, and add a small gap. Collapsible boxes work best for light to medium items, so tell us the weight. We confirm the size and the folds on the dieline.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Skincare set: about 8 in x 6 in x 2.5 in
• Gift set: about 10 in x 8 in x 3 in
• Perfume: about 5 in x 3 in x 5 in
• Kit box: about 9 in x 6 in x 3 in

Board, wrap, inserts, and finishes

Rigid boxes are built from thick, firm board wrapped in printed paper, so they hold their shape and feel substantial. The wrap can be matte, gloss, soft touch, textured, or kraft paper. Foil, embossing, and spot gloss add detail on the lid. An insert holds the product in place and can be cut to fit your item. The folds are built into the board and the wrap, so the box opens flat and stays firm when set up. A sample kit lets you feel the board and test the fit.

Printing and finishing

Printing is done on the wrap paper before it is applied to the board, so full color artwork, solid colors, and fine detail are possible. Keep key text and logos inside the safe area on the dieline, away from edges and corners. Inside print or a lining paper is available. We set up the box on the free dieline, and you approve it before production. Plan the print for the lid, the sides, and the inside, because the box opens flat.

Why flat pack lowers freight cost

A set-up rigid box takes the room of a full box. A collapsible rigid box ships flat, so many more boxes fit in one carton and one pallet. This lowers freight cost, which matters for larger orders and for overseas shipping. It also saves storage space in your own room. Tell us your order size, and we help you compare the cost.

Collapsible rigid boxes for beauty brands

Collapsible rigid boxes for beauty brands suit gift sets, holiday kits, and subscription boxes. The customer gets the feel of a rigid gift box, and you save on freight. Choose a soft touch wrap and a foil logo to complete the look. Tell us your set and the weight, and we plan the box.

Labeling notes

Product boxes often carry text such as ingredients, net contents, directions, and warnings, and what is required depends on your product and your market. You supply all text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check text or claims, and you are responsible for making sure your boxes meet the rules for your product.

Orders from 50 units

Orders start at 50 units, which suits a new brand, a test batch, or a small giveaway. Larger orders cost less per box, and they can be planned in several sizes and designs. Share your expected yearly volume during the free consultation and we plan around it.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the box size, the shape, the cut line, and the safe area, so you can see where your artwork goes and where text should stay clear. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
