Rigid Boxes
With options for FSC paper or paper made from 100% post-consumer waste.
-
You may be most familiar with rigid boxes that were used to package your latest phone or jewelry.
Unlike folding carton boxes, rigid boxes can’t fold flat. They’re typically made from a highly recycled paper, then wrapped with a smoother — often high-end — paper.
There are many layers for customization. Sometimes, fabrics and foils are added for a more unique tactile experience.
-
IDP offers FSC certified paper, and 100% post-consumer recycled paper. Both of which are paths to more sustainable paper.
Often, luxury packaging relies on materials that can compromise the recyclability of the paper, namely an overwhelming amount of fabric, plastic, or foil coatings. While a lot of non-paper material can be sorted out in recycling, beware of adding too much.
Rigid box manufacturing is still a fairly manual process, and it can require more material than other boxes, so it’s ideal if you encourage customers to reuse the box as much as possible.
-
The best afterlife for most paper products — from collateral to boxes — is recycling. Most paper fibers can be recycled more than five times. Paper with tape or stickers can still be recycled, because non-paper materials are sifted out in the recycling process.
-
Printed designs will match the finish of the paper. For a shiny finish, you’ll need to inquire about added coatings. Coatings may also be necessary if your packaging needs extra water resistance.
A glossy finish may be possible by using a glossy stock or an added coating.
