Custom lid and base boxes for gift sets and retail packaging

A custom lid and base box is a two-piece rigid structure with a separate lift-off lid and base. Colormix specifies board, dimensions, wrap, insert and finish around the product from 500 pcs per size. Digital samples take 3–7 days; production-line samples take 7–10 days; bulk production takes 15–22 working days after approval.

The lid lifts clear of the base rather than folding back on a hinge. This adaptable rigid format suits skincare sets, candles, fragrance, jewellery and corporate gifts.

Why specify this structure

Custom Lid and Base Box: the decisions that affect the result

The lid-to-base fit is the design

A shallow lid gives a clean retail proportion; a deeper lid or shoulder-neck construction changes the reveal and assembly time.

The insert carries the product

EVA, paperboard, moulded pulp or a lined platform can be cut to the product.

Finishes are quoted separately

Foil, emboss, spot UV, lamination and window patching are listed in the specification.

Specification checklist

What to send for a comparable quote

Product dimensions, packed weight, quantity per size, insert requirement, target date and destination are enough to start. The final board, finish and clearance are confirmed on the sample.

Custom Lid and Base Box: common questions

What is the difference from a magnetic box?

A lid and base box uses a separate lift-off lid; a magnetic box uses a hinged panel with concealed magnets.

Can it include an insert?

Yes. The insert is specified around the packed product and confirmed on the physical sample.

What is the minimum order?

500 pcs per size.
