Ordering a Rigid Box
How to size
When ordering a rigid box you will order it Width X Length X Depth. It is also assumed that this is the base size so that it fits the product that you are packaging. Unless otherwise told we will give the cover the proper allowance, to obtain the necessary clearance needed for the particular material being used. Fit of the cover to the base is adjustable depending upon the fit wanted.

Please feel free to contact us so that we can assist you in the many decisions you have to make. Our design staff looks forward to making a sample of your product to your specifications so that you can visualize your finish product as it will look during Production.
Things to consider
When considering the paper for your rigid box, take into consideration that if it is a lined paper, the lines will run vertical on 2 panels and will run horizontal on the other 2 panels. You also want to make sure that you select a durable enough paper so that when it gets to its end user it is not damaged.
Foils
Foil coated papers are nice looking but require a lot more care when handling. If the box gets a scratch or a dent in it will stay there permanently. Foils also are not glueable to themselves, you get some what of a bond but not a true tear bond. Foils also tend to edge curl do to the nature of the material so a bit more is needed for waste.
