Q:
What are the defining characteristics of rigid boxes?
A:
Rigid boxes or setup boxes are made from a thick cardstock and are finished with a paper wrap or fabric liner. These boxes are structurally very strong and significantly thicker when compared to regular folding cartons.
Q:
Do custom rigid boxes need to be assembled before they are used?
A:
No assembly is required as custom printed rigid or setup boxes are shipped ready to use.
Q:
Why should our company switch to branded rigid packaging?
A:
Rigid packaging offers an upscale option for packaging luxury products such as jewelry, branded accessories, and electronics. Rigid boxes add a sense of quality and luxury to your brand along with offering excellent protection for your products during the sale process.
Q:
How long do rigid boxes last?
A:
Rigid boxes are paper-based products and thus are sensitive to storage conditions such as heat, sunlight, temperature, and moisture. Sudden changes in environmental conditions can negatively affect the quality of such paper-based products. All printed products including rigid boxes should be unpacked after delivery for inspection and identification of any manufacturing issues. After inspection, all printed products including rigid packaging should be stored in moisture-free and temperature-controlled conditions.
In addition, unfavorable storage conditions such as moisture, extreme heat, or direct sunlight can cause damage to printed materials including discolouration and fading of printed colours. Packagingblue makes no claims or representations regarding the long-term durability of printed products as the longevity of all printed materials including rigid packaging depends upon environmental and storage conditions that are beyond Packagingblue’s direct control.
