Although the process of building a rigid box can vary from one company to another, they all generally follow the same outline:
Sizing: custom rigid boxes come in a lot of different sizes. The first step we take is making sure the paperboard is the correct size for our client’s product.
Folding: after the paperboard is the proper size, it is then folded to give it the basic shape of the box. Only after the basic shape of the box is finalized can the other steps on the list be carried out.
Printing the design: after the basic shape of the rigid box is ready, the design is including the embellishments, the foils, the embroidery, the trinkets and more is superimposed on top of the basic shape of the box.
Wrapping: whether this is done at your company or ours, the wrapping is the final piece of the puzzle and makes the rigid box complete and ready for consumer shelves.
This is the basic outline of how a manufacturer makes a rigid box.
