Understanding the Costs of Custom Rigid Boxes

The cost of custom rigid boxes can vary significantly based on several factors. Understanding these elements will help you make informed decisions when selecting the best packaging solutions for your products.

Material Selection

The cost of custom rigid boxes is influenced by the outer paper’s type, such as double-sided artpaper, kraft paper, 250gsm white cardboard (SBS), or specialty papers. Specialty grain and colored papers are typically the most expensive. Additionally, the thickness of the gray board used affects the cost, with thicker boards being more expensive due to the heavier materials required.

Customization Options

Customizations such as embossing, foil stamping, and unique finishes can add to the cost. The complexity and intricacy of these custom features impact the final price, with more elaborate designs typically being more expensive.

Box Size and Structure

The size and structural complexity of the box, including additional features like magnetic closures or compartments, affect the cost. Larger boxes or those with complex designs may require more materials and labor, leading to higher costs.

Order Quantity

Larger order quantities often reduce the cost per unit due to economies of scale. However, for small batch productions, the cost per unit can be higher due to the setup and production costs.

Timeframe:

  • Normal Coating Method: 2-3 days.
  • With Special Varnish (spot UV, hot foil-stamping, embossing, debossing): 4-6 days total.

Step 5: Die-Cutting

Precision die-cutting to shape the box components accurately.

Timeframe:

  • Normal: 2-3 days.

Step 6: Assembly Molding

Forming and assembling the box, including gluing and shaping. The production cycle depends on order quantity and box complexity.

Comprehensive Testing for Custom Rigid Boxes

Ensuring the quality and durability of our custom rigid boxes is crucial. Rigorous testing verifies that each box meets high standards, providing users with reliable protection and enhancing product presentation. Quality testing ensures that your packaging not only looks good but also withstands handling and transit challenges.

Edge Crush Test (ECT)

Measures the box's ability to withstand edgewise compression.

The ECT is performed by compressing a sample of corrugated material until it collapses. This test evaluates the stacking strength and durability of the boxes, with results expressed in pounds per inch (lb/in) or kilonewtons per meter (kN/m). Proper ECT-rated corrugated board provides equivalent strength using less material, promoting sustainability.

Bursting Strength Test

Determines the box's resistance to bursting under pressure.

This test involves applying pressure to the corrugated board until it bursts, measured in pounds per square inch (psi). It ensures the box can handle internal and external pressure without failing, providing essential data for packaging heavy or awkwardly shaped items.

Drop Test

Assesses the box's ability to protect contents from impacts.

The drop test simulates real-world handling by dropping the box from a specified height to evaluate its structural integrity and protective capability during transit.

The international standard for drop test is shown below:

Ink Decolorization Test

Ensures printing content and patterns are resistant to scratching.

This test involves rubbing the printed area with a specified force to check for any ink decolorization, ensuring durable and legible branding.

Humidity Testing

Verifies the packaging's moisture content before shipping.

The finished product is tested for moisture to ensure proper drying, preventing softness and maintaining the box’s hardness during transit.

Pantone Colorimeter Test

Ensures color consistency across different batches.

A colorimeter measures the LAB values of the printed boxes to minimize color differences and maintain brand consistency.

Constant Temperature and Humidity Chamber

Tests the box's performance under extreme conditions.

Boxes are placed in a controlled environment to simulate extreme conditions, ensuring they don’t deform, delaminate, or lose adhesion.

Adhesive Tension Test

Verifies the strength of adhesive bonds.

This test measures the tension strength of adhesive bonds to ensure they can withstand required forces without failing.

Gloss Test

Ensures the glossiness of materials and some coatings meets specifications.

The surface gloss level is measured to ensure it meets the specified standards for appearance and quality.

Paper Thickness Testing

Confirms the correct basis weight of the paper used.

The thickness of the paper is measured to verify it meets the specified requirements for strength and durability.

Choose us for your packaging needs and rest assured that our boxes undergo thorough testing to meet the highest quality standards. Experience the difference in reliability and excellence.
