The 4 Best Tips for Designing Rigid Gift Boxes

Take a look at how Apple products are unboxed or how Tiffany's jewelry is unboxed. The packaging is the first thing you notice. Whether it's the sleek, white box that holds the latest iPhone or the iconic blue box with foam insert. It is ideal to package delicate items in rigid boxes, as well as heavy electronics such as computers and televisions, as well as making great gift boxes.

Folding Gift-Box Magnet


The packaging of luxury brands is often made up of rigid gift packaging boxes. Using paperboard boxes, the basic skeleton of the box is formed by cutting, scoring, and folding to the required size. By printing and wrapping the designs onto the skeleton, brands can customize these boxes to their liking, while giving them a luxurious feel.

These four tips will help you design rigid gift boxes that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.


Cost-savings when storing

The rigid nature of rigid boxes prevents them from being flattened to maintain their sturdy skeleton. Flattening rigid boxes is possible, however, with thin materials. Usually, collapsible boxes are made up of two separate pieces and are easy to assemble.


Collapsible rigid boxes are not only cheaper to make, but their flexibility means you can save on storage or space without sacrificing the unboxing experience.


Include tips on how to store and reuse your collapsible rigid box in your marketing materials to let your customers know its features.


Make sure your products are secure

Packing and delivering delicate items, such as electronics, requires the use of sufficient material to prevent damage and breakage. If your box has a separate base and lid, enclose the box with a break-proof seal to prevent the contents from falling out.


Additionally, you can use custom packaging inserts to prevent your products from moving around inside the box. If you want to be sure that the box is closed, do include seals and stickers even with the inserts.

Alternatively, you can use magnetic lid boxes. The lid of the box is glued with magnets that bend down when closed. With these magnets, your rigid boxes will be securely closed and your customers will have a premium unboxing experience.


Kraft rigid boxes are eco-friendly

You can promote eco-friendly packaging and green practices by using kraft paper boxes and encouraging the use of paper. When uncoated with finishes or lamination, Kraft rigid boxes are 100% biodegradable and compostable. Be sure to use eco-friendly ink, such as water-based or soy-based ink, as well as kraft paper.


Easily customized

Lamination and design are not necessary for rigid boxes to look great. The use of durable materials makes it almost unnecessary to create complex graphics for the box.


Brands sometimes choose single-colored boxes with just the logo printed on them. This practice does save them extra money, which they can use to include add-ons like embossing, foil stamping, etc. If your boxes need a little jazzing up, don't be afraid to use bold colors and patterns.
