Common Custom Rigid Box Mistakes to Avoid

Custom rigid boxes may not be the best option for your business due to the following reasons:
1. Use of Oversized Packaging
It is important to remember that luxury cosmetic rigid boxes should be proportional to the size of the product they contain. If the packaging is too large, it can create a false impression of the product's size and quality, which can lead to disappointment and negative reviews. This is why it's important to choose the right size and shape of the box to ensure that your customers are satisfied with their purchase and have a positive unboxing experience.
2. Lack of Differentiation
When it comes to luxury cosmetic rigid boxes, it's essential to make them unique and distinguishable from those of your competitors. Thoroughly researching your target market and seeking your design team's input can help you create a packaging design that stands out in the market.
3. Insufficient Protection
Luxury cosmetic rigid boxes that are designed to hold bottles containing liquids may require a grease barrier to prevent leaks. Depending on where the boxes will be displayed, companies should consider using waterproof coatings to ensure that the products remain protected from the elements.
4. Not Child-Friendly or Pet-Friendly
When targeting adult clients of various ages with luxury cosmetic rigid boxes, it is important to include instructions for human and pet parents. The packaging should clearly state whether the contents include choke hazards or hazardous substances to ensure the safety of both the products and the consumers.
5.Factors That Contribute to High Prices
Luxury cosmetic rigid boxes can be more expensive than other types of packaging, costing an average of $4 to $5 per piece. This is more expensive than a fully printed and labeled corrugated box, which can cost under $2 to $3, or a folding carton box, which can cost under $1. The higher cost of luxury cosmetic rigid boxes can result from their thicker and more specialized construction, as well as higher shipment fees. However, as the previous sections have indicated, the benefits of using luxury cosmetic rigid boxes, such as their ability to elevate the visual and tactile appeal of a product, make them a worthwhile investment for high-end brands.
6.Materials
Luxury cosmetic rigid boxes are typically made using more expensive chipboard, which is thicker than regular, foldable carton packaging. They come in a variety of colors, including white and black, with natural chipboard being the cheapest option. The choice of paper and finish for the wrap also affects the final price. Full finish luxury cosmetic rigid boxes cost more as they require more paper to cover the chipboard. When it comes to finishes, metallic, neon, and other specialty inks are more expensive than regular ink. Naturally, larger surfaces will entail more materials, and any labels, magnetic strips, or ribbon pulls needed also add to the total expense.
7.Construction
When it comes to luxury cosmetic rigid boxes, the cost of tooling covers the use of custom-made tools required to produce each box, including dies for cutting the shape, foil stamping, and embossing or debossing, as well as print cylinders, print plates, and molds. The fee for tooling increases if your box has a unique shape or features various parts and involves many colors and other printing techniques. Inserts for luxury cosmetic rigid boxes may also require separate cutting dies and molds.
Reputable manufacturers of luxury cosmetic rigid boxes use special machines to fold parts of the box, paste their sides, and cover them with wrap. However, manual labor may be required for intricate packaging or the inclusion of inserts, which can be made of tissue, cardboard, foam, or plastic.
8.Volume
Custom packaging projects with low volume are generally more expensive than those with high volume, as the packaging industry follows economies of scale.
9.Transport
Luxury cosmetic rigid boxes are generally not collapsible, which means they do not ship flat and require higher shipment fees. Additionally, the cost of fuel can impact the amount that businesses have to pay for courier or third-party delivery services.
10.Storage Space
Since luxury cosmetic rigid boxes arrive pre-assembled in their final form, they require ample storage space. Companies that use these boxes may want to consider working with a packaging company that offers managed inventory services to keep an agreed-upon level of stock and ship on a just-in-time basis or as needed. Additionally, businesses can survey their warehouse for any unused space to accommodate the storage of these boxes.
