How to Choose Reliable Rigid Boxes

Rigid boxes are often made from wood by tightly wrapping thick cardboard with a very thin outer cover such as cloth or paper. In some cases called paper over box packaging, rigid box packing offers an unparalleled sense of quality and luxury, being both extremely durable and usually handcrafted. Boxes made of these materials can be used for nearly any purpose, from mailing to shipping. Boxes like this are often seen in high-end packaging as well as many other businesses.

Another common use for these types of boxes is in the home, particularly in children's rooms. The most common styles are the hard plastic rigid boxes or sometimes referred to as magnetic boxes, which come in numerous shapes and colors. Often you can find a variety of different shapes including small animal shapes or basic cube or rectangle shapes. Many of these styles come with a magnetic closure.

One of the more interesting styles is known as rigid tube packaging. These rigid boxes will have the same type of magnetic closure as the hard plastic but will be boxed instead of shaped. Often these styles are found in craft stores, as well as specialty packaging options such as gift baskets. These products will often have a very unique appearance that many people will find quite appealing. With the use of color printing on the box, as well as custom logos, this product can also be personalized to give that added touch of class.

The most unusual packaging found with rigid boxes is a drawer box style. Instead of having one solid piece of material, these boxes will have multiple pieces of material pulled together by ties or even Velcro. This type of packaging comes in many different sizes and with numerous uses, from promotional materials to packaging for jewelry. Some of the more unusual styles include folding drawer boxes, where the interior is folded over the exterior and a "drawer tray" style which resembles a standard rectangular box, only that it has vertical slots and dividers on the top and bottom.

The packaging that is placed inside rigid boxes is extremely important and not just because of its aesthetic appearance. By using the right thickness, as well as the appropriate material, it's possible to ensure that the items inside don't become damaged while being transported. When choosing the right materials, it's important to know that some materials are better than others, which includes the type of packing foam used. Some of the better quality rigid boxes, including the ones that are sold in stores, can come with a partial finish. This kind of partial finish is often made from a polyurethane laminate, which has been treated with water-resistant properties.

When it comes to luxury rigid boxes, there are literally thousands of different styles to choose from. Many of the boxes available will be customized with colors or logos to give the user even more options. Depending on the type of product inside, you may want to consider what type of appearance would be best suited. Some examples include a folding carton style box, rigid chocolate gift boxes, decorative rigid boxes, luxury hard-sided boxes, soft-sided boxes, and many more options.

Most of the time, you can find rigid boxes at home improvement stores. They can also be found online and in specialty shops. Many manufacturers prefer to sell their products through stores, as it makes it easier for them to handle sales. The majority of hard-sided rigid boxes are sold without the ability to open them. If you want to keep your goods protected from the elements, you should purchase a set-up box that will keep the items inside nice and snugly, preventing them from moving about and scratching surfaces.

One of the nice features of purchasing a full set-up box style is that you can include the custom printing that you need. You'll find that the printing is included in all of the sets, and it comes in a variety of colors. If you want additional processes like the magnetic closure, you'll be able to add that as an additional process at no additional cost.
