Questions

What is a rigid box?

A rigid box is made from thick chipboard wrapped in printed paper. It does not fold flat like a carton, which is why it feels premium and is used for gifts, cosmetics, electronics and subscription boxes.

Can you design the magnetic box and the insert together?

Yes. I plan the insert first so every product sits securely, then design the wrap artwork around it, so the opening experience works as a whole.

Do you work with my box manufacturer?

Yes. Share your manufacturer’s dieline and specifications and I set the files up to match them, including wrap allowances and finish layers.

How much does rigid box design cost?

Rigid boxes are quoted per project based on the box style, number of panels and inserts. Send your product details and I’ll reply with a fixed quote, usually the same day.
