What to Know Before Designing Custom Shoulder and Neck Rigid Boxes
The alignment between the neck and outer lid must be flawless, as even minor discrepancies can affect both appearance and functionality. From selecting the right board thickness to ensuring a smooth lid glide, every structural and finish choice determines how premium the final box feels.
StructureThree-Piece Design for Extra StrengthThese boxes are built with a base, neck, and lid, where the neck is partially or fully exposed between the two parts. This adds rigidity, increases stacking strength, and creates a smooth, elevated opening motion.
Construction TechniquesStructure That Supports LuxuryThese boxes rely on sturdy greyboard, usually between 1.5mm to 3mm thick to maintain shape and support the layered structure. Thicker boards ensure a firm base for the neck but must be chosen carefully to avoid adding unnecessary bulk or weight.
Details & Add OnsCustom Heights, Fits, and FinishesPremium paper wraps (from 120–150gsm) are used to cover each component; base, neck, and lid—individually before assembly. Common finishes include soft-touch lamination, anti-scratch matte, or specialty textures.
