Most common rigid box construction. Highest consumer and shelf appeal of all box packaging. Other box packaging tries to imitate the 2 pc. rigid set-up box but there is no replacement. Option to add pre-production or post-production die cuts on top and sides of the lid; with or without a transparent window.

Full Telescoping – 2 piece box in which the lid is the same depth as the base.

Partial Telescoping – 2 piece box in which the lid is shallower in-depth than the base.

Base and lid with no lid fit tolerance (i.e. same size).  A neck box is tightly fitted to the inside of the outer base.  This neck box is a fully, tight wrapped box at least ½” or greater in-depth than outer base creating a neck which serves as a locking mechanism once the outer lid is applied.  This can be used on conventional and slope constructions. The neck can also be inverted to serve a dual function, post-production die cut insert.  Neck reveals can also be utilized to provide added dimension and package design appearance.

 

 

Rigid box without a lid. Option to add a transparent vinyl lid.

 

Offers same high consumer appeal as a 2 pc. box. However, this is a one-piece construction providing a unique look and function within rigid box packaging. Wrapped wide v-notch can be used on opening end panel at no additional cost.

Essentially a long, deep narrow box intended to lay upright on one side designed to hold books, magazines, and DVD amaray cases. Slipcases with widths (i.e. openings) less than 3 ½” are of T shaped construction to be most efficient in material cost.  Slipcases exceeding 3 1/2” in width are of conventional construction.  The overall, finished appearance is the same but the exterior board and exterior wrap configuration is different.  Wrapped wide v-notches available at no additional cost.  Post-production die cut notches optional as well but bares additional charge.

Slipcase functions as a sleeve. Tray functions as a drawer which slides into the slipcase. Wrapped wide v-notches or post-production die cut notch used on the drawer for ease of sliding the drawer out.

2 components glued together to yield this luxurious rigid box package. Component 1 is a rigid tray. Component 2 is a flat board turned edge case cover with or without embedded magnet or magnet(s). The rigid tray is glued to the 3rd panel of turned edge case cover and/or 2nd panel (i.e. spine) depending on design expectation.  Most commonly used as a quasi, cigar-style box as it opens up like a book.  This is the most expensive, luxurious, rigid box package out of all constructs.
