Fold Flat Gift Box Glossy Red Custom Colors

The lid is joined to the box along one scored line, so it turns back like a page rather than lifting off. There is no magnet and no clasp to work; the lid is held closed by sitting over the box. With the lid folded back, the whole inside is open at once, which is what you want when the box is packed in front of a customer.

- Empty: the lid folds down and the box becomes a panel.

- The panel: flat and thin, so a stack of them stays low.

- Storage: an empty box takes the room of a panel, not of a box.

- At the far end: the box is opened out again once the goods arrive.

Lift the lid and the inside is paper of the same family as the outside, so the box reads as one colour open or shut. Nothing is left in white, so the contents do not sit against a bright panel. The inner paper is laid over the board and turned in at the rim. On a red box, the inside is red as well.

- The surface: a glossy special paper, laid over the board.

- The light: a bright band runs along the edge where the paper catches it.

- The hand: smooth and even under the fingers.

- The colour: your own shade can be run and carries the same gloss.

- The fold: the paper is scored first, so the bend is a straight line.

- The rim: the paper is turned over the edge, so the cut is covered.

It suits a beauty set, a home fragrance bottle, a small homeware piece or a company souvenir. Because the box is deep rather than shallow, a set of items goes in together rather than one thing on its own. Brands use it as the box their name goes on, and shops put it out at Valentine's Day, Christmas and New Year. It is also shot open with the lid folded back, because the inside reads as part of the design.

Our factory has been making paper boxes long enough to know which shapes ship well and which do not. Alongside this foldable box, we run lid and base boxes, drawer boxes, mailer boxes and paper bags, so a brand can have its set made in one place. We have made boxes for beauty brands, fragrance sellers, gift wholesalers and online shops, and the print is checked against the die before a run starts. Samples come first: a plain sample to check the size, and a printed one once the file is right. Tell us the shade and the size, and we will set the die for it.
