Partial Cover Rigid Box

Custom Partial Cover Boxes Wholesale: Half Lid Rigid Boxes for Cosmetics

What a partial cover box is

A partial cover box is a two part rigid box where the lid covers only part of the base. The rest of the base stays visible, and it can be a different color, a pattern, or a texture. A partial lid box is a stylish alternative to a full lid. A half cover box has a lid that reaches the middle of the base. A half lid rigid box looks layered, with two colors or finishes. A partial cover rigid box makes a bold look for gifts and sets. A telescope lid box is a related style, where the lid slides over the base like a telescope tube. Partial cover boxes for cosmetics suit sets, palettes, and gift kits.

Sizes and how to measure

Box size is written as length x width x height, measured inside the base. Measure your product at its widest points, and add a small gap. Tell us how much of the base should show, such as half or a third, and we set it on the dieline. Tell us your product, and we suggest an inside size.

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

• Cosmetic set: about 8 in x 6 in x 2.5 in
• Palette: about 6 in x 5 in x 1.5 in
• Gift set: about 10 in x 8 in x 3 in
• Perfume: about 5 in x 3 in x 5 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 base can use a contrasting wrap, because part of it stays visible. 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. Use two colors or two finishes to show the layered look.

Partial cover boxes for cosmetics

Partial cover boxes for cosmetics make a strong first look. A soft touch lid over a bright base, or a foil lid over a matte base, shows the layers. The exposed part of the base can carry a pattern or the brand name. Add an insert to hold the products, and tissue paper to finish the reveal.

Partial cover compared with other two piece lids

A partial cover box is one of the lid styles in the two piece group. A full lid covers the whole base, a shoulder neck has a raised neck, and a lift-off lid comes away fully. A partial cover shows part of the base. The two piece page is the hub for these styles. Ask us which suits your product.

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.
