Frequently Asked Questions
What should be checked before approving custom shaped rigid box samples?
Buyers should check product size, product weight, desired box outline, lid and base structure, greyboard thickness, shape feasibility, inner corner radius, sharp point risk, paper wrapping direction, surface paper choice, insert material, product fit, lid fit, foil or embossing area, sample approval method, assembled shipping volume, carton packing, pallet requirement, and destination country.
What are custom shaped rigid boxes used for?
Custom shaped rigid boxes are used for premium packaging projects that need a special silhouette rather than a standard square or rectangular box.
Are there any shape limitations?
Most shapes can be developed, but very sharp inner corners, deep curves, narrow points, or complex logo outlines may need structural adjustment for stable production.
Is the MOQ higher for custom shaped rigid boxes?
MOQ and commercial terms are confirmed by quotation after specifications, quantity, packing and destination are defined.
How should I choose greyboard thickness?
Greyboard thickness should be selected based on product weight, box size, shape complexity, lid structure, and insert support.
Can shaped rigid boxes include custom inserts?
Yes. Custom inserts are strongly recommended for shaped rigid boxes because the outer shape may not have standard straight walls to hold the product securely.
Can foil stamping, embossing, or Spot UV be used on custom shapes?
Yes, these finishes can be used when the artwork area and surface shape are suitable.
Are custom shaped rigid boxes shipped flat?
No. Most custom shaped rigid boxes are rigid setup boxes and are shipped fully assembled because the structure cannot be flattened after production.
Can FSC-related paper and material documents be checked?
Documentation or certification scope must be confirmed for the selected material, supplier, production route, intended use and destination.
What information do you need for a quote?
Please send your product size, product weight, desired shape, box size, lid structure, insert need, paper wrap, finishing requirements, order quantity, and delivery country.
