Custom Boxes With Lids for Retail, Gifting, and Brand Packaging
Custom boxes with lids are two-part packaging built with a separate lid that lifts off the base. The construction gives products a clean reveal at the moment of opening, which is why gift boxes with lids show up across retail launches, beauty drops, candle gifting, and subscription brands across the United States.
Most custom lid boxes are built from rigid chipboard, kraft, or coated SBS, and the lid can be friction-fit, telescoping, hinged with magnets, or fully removable. EcoFold prints custom two piece boxes to your exact size starting at 100 units, with 8 to 10 day turnaround and no die or plate charges.
What Types of Boxes With Lids Work Best for Your Product?
Lid construction shapes the unboxing feel as much as the print does. Pick the style by product weight, brand tier, and how you want the box to open on camera.
| Lid Style | Construction | Best Use |
|---|---|---|
| Telescoping rigid lid | Lid slides over the base, deep walls grip without tape | Apparel, candles, gift sets |
| Shoulder-neck lid | Inner shoulder holds the lid square on the base | Premium cosmetics, luxury gifts |
| Magnetic flap lid | Hinged flap with hidden magnets, opens book-style | Tech products, corporate gifts |
| Round lid | Cylindrical body with a snug top cap | Hat boxes, jar candles, bath bombs |
| Clear lid | Acetate or PET top window over a printed base tray | Bakery, cookies, retail display |
Material Options for Custom Lid Boxes
The right material depends on weight, print quality, and the brand tier you are aiming for.
- Rigid boxes with lids built from 1.5mm to 3mm chipboard wrapped in printed paper. A detachable lid rigid box in this build is the heaviest, most premium option, used by luxury beauty and gift brands. The same wrap-and-mount build also runs through our Custom Rigid Boxes catalog.
- Kraft boxes with lids in natural brown or white kraft for eco-conscious skincare, soap, and small-batch food.
- Cardboard boxes with lids in 16pt to 24pt SBS for retail-ready CMYK or Pantone print.
- Round boxes with lids in spiral-wound chipboard for hat boxes, candles, and bath products.
- Clear lid boxes with acetate or PET tops over a printed base tray for bakery sets, cookies, and gift assortments.
Printing, Finishes, and Customization
Every lid is its own design surface. Print the lid in full color and leave the base kraft brown to save cost, or wrap both halves in matching artwork for shelf display. Common finishes include soft-touch lamination, spot UV on the logo, gold or silver foil stamping, and blind embossing on the lid panel.
For pairs that need to look like a set on the shelf, this is the same approach we use on our Custom Gift Boxes range. Inserts in foam, EVA, or paper pulp keep the product seated so the lid lifts away cleanly.
