What is the difference between rigid boxes and folding cartons?

2025-11-20

Difference Between Rigid Boxes and Folding Cartons

1. Structure & Material

Rigid Boxes

Made from thick greyboard/chipboard (usually 800–1500gsm).
Box shape cannot be flattened—always stays in its assembled form.
Outer layer is wrapped with printed paper, specialty paper, or fabric.

Folding Cartons

Made from cardstock (typically 250–400gsm).
Can be shipped flat and later folded into shape.
Printing is done directly on the cardstock.

2. Appearance & Luxury Level

Rigid Boxes

High-end appearance
More solid, luxurious, premium feel
Often used for perfume, cosmetics, jewelry, electronics, gift sets

Folding Cartons

More lightweight
Suitable for medium-level retail packaging
Often used for cosmetics (outer cartons), skincare, pharmaceuticals, daily products

3. Cost Differences

Rigid Boxes

Higher cost (material + hand assembly)
More complex finishes (magnetic closure, fabric lining, EVA inserts)

Folding Cartons

More cost-effective
Automated production possible
Cheaper shipping due to flat packing

4. Customization & Finishing

Rigid Boxes often support:

Magnetic or drawer structure
Ribbon handles
Embossing/debossing
