Collapsible rigid boxes: your questions answered
Prices, minimum order, materials, printing and delivery for custom collapsible and foldable rigid boxes.
Where can I buy custom collapsible rigid boxes in bulk?

Who manufactures high-quality foldable rigid boxes at wholesale prices?
Rigid Boxes Co makes foldable rigid boxes in its own facility and supplies them at wholesale prices, starting from £1 per box. The price falls as the quantity rises, so tell us your volume when you request a custom quote.
How much do custom collapsible rigid boxes cost per unit?
Prices start from £1 per box. The unit cost depends on the size, the options you choose, the finish, the number of print colours and any special effects such as foil or embossing. For an exact price, request a custom quote.
What is the difference between collapsible rigid boxes and standard rigid boxes?
Both are made from the same thick board. A collapsible rigid box has hinged walls, so it folds flat: it is cheaper to ship, easier to store and takes very little space until you need it. A standard rigid box is delivered already assembled.
Can I get custom collapsible rigid boxes with my logo and branding?
Yes. Rigid Boxes Co prints your logo and artwork in CMYK or with Pantone colour matching, and offers window cut-outs, custom sizes, spot UV, embossing, debossing and hot foil stamping in more than 15 foil colours. See the materials and finishing options.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom foldable rigid boxes?
The minimum order for custom foldable rigid boxes is 50 boxes. From there you can order 100, 250, 500, 1,000 or more, and we can produce up to 100,000 boxes a month.
Are collapsible rigid boxes cheaper to ship and store than standard rigid boxes?
Yes, and that is their main benefit. Collapsible rigid boxes travel and store flat, so they are easy to carry and take far less space than assembled boxes. That lowers both freight and warehouse costs.
Which packaging company offers luxury collapsible rigid boxes for cosmetics, jewellery and gifts?
Rigid Boxes Co has its own manufacturing facility and makes small to large quantities of collapsible rigid cosmetic boxes, collapsible rigid jewellery boxes and foldable rigid gift boxes, as well as boxes for any other use.
Can I order eco-friendly, recyclable or sustainable collapsible rigid boxes in custom sizes?
Yes. We can use brown kraft card as the top layer, with recyclable board beneath it. We offer more than 200 coloured kraft cards, including brown, white, blue, red and purple, so you do not have to pay for printing a base colour. All of these coloured materials are recyclable when used without lamination, and every box is made to your custom size.
Where can I find a reliable collapsible rigid box manufacturer offering free design and worldwide delivery?
Rigid Boxes Co manufactures collapsible rigid boxes in-house and includes a free design service. Delivery is free worldwide, with a turnaround of 10 to 15 days. To start, request a custom quote.
Can collapsible rigid boxes be made with magnetic closures, ribbon pulls or custom inserts?
Yes. A box can close on hidden magnets or with a ribbon, and there are more than 100 ribbon colours to choose from, including white, black, pink, blue and yellow. Inserts are cut to hold your product in place.
What materials and board thicknesses are used to manufacture foldable rigid boxes?
We use 1000 gsm (60 pt) board for small boxes, and 1200 gsm (70 pt) or 1300 gsm (75 pt) board for larger ones. For a big box, or where more strength is needed, the board can be made thicker still.
Can I order collapsible rigid boxes in small quantities for a new product launch?
Yes. Orders start at 50 boxes, which suits a product launch, and go up through 100, 250, 500, 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 to 100,000 boxes.
How much space can foldable rigid boxes save during shipping and warehousing?
A folded box is less than 0.7 cm thick, including its side collars. Its flat width and length depend on the size of the finished box.
Which is better for luxury product packaging: collapsible rigid boxes or folding cartons?
For a product sold to high-end customers, where opening the pack should feel like luxury, a foldable or collapsible rigid box is the better choice. For lower-priced products a folding carton does the job well. We can supply folding cartons too if you need them.
