What are luxury boxes? You’ve come to the right place. High-end products are packaged in these boxes. Many famous brands use these boxes because they provide an immersive unboxing experience. 

We also need to protect the products from external factors during shipping. Read on to learn more about these boxes and see if they are right for you!

Luxury Boxes Material

Luxury boxes are rigid boxes. These boxes are typically 2-3 mm thick. Typical rigid box materials include:

• Paperboard
• Chipboard
• Cardboard corrugated 

The boxes provide a luxurious look and are extremely durable as well. This makes them ideal for packaging and shipping fragile and expensive items. Boxes made of cardboard are typically heavier than cardboard boxes made of kraft because of their thickness and the products inside.

Uses of Luxury Boxes

These luxury boxes are used by brands that prioritize safe shipping and easy unboxing. The luxury brands package their products in these boxes, including phones and wristwatches. These industries use luxury boxes: 

Jewelry

No matter how big or small the item is, jewelry companies use rigid boxes exclusively. This is due to a safety concern. The packaging has to be strong enough to withstand the shipping process so that customers don’t receive a bracelet that is broken upon arrival. 

Apparel

Luxury boxes are used by high-end clothing brands. Other types of boxes can package many products, including shirts and dresses, but the primary purpose of these boxes is to showcase luxury. The likelihood of a customer purchasing from an apparel brand that offers luxury boxes is higher.

Tech

The packaging of laptops and mobile phones is never made of paperboard, since it cannot withstand jerks during shipping. The rigid boxes used by tech brands ensure products’ safety and provide great unboxing experiences.

Luxury Boxes: Four Types

Each product can have a different luxury box style. A typical mobile phone box is a two-piece box, while a laptop box has a hinged lid. 

Luxury boxes come in four types:

A box with a hinged lid

It is a one-piece box. The base and lid are attached at one end. When this happens, the lid cannot stand alone. The packaging manufacturers attach bases and lids with ribbons. Manufacturers reinforce certain lids by attaching ribbons on both sides. 

Magnetic Boxes

Magnetic boxes work the same way as hinged-lid boxes. Only the flap differs. Magnets are used inside magnetic boxes or flap rigid boxes. Despite being placed upside down, these boxes prevent the product from being opened. 

Neck and shoulders

Three parts make up a shoulder neck box. Bases and necks are hollow boxes connected by a hollow base, called the shoulder. Neck and base are attached by glue. Neck lids can be removed. Even with a lid on, boxes can have visible protruding necks. 

Sliding or sleeved boxes

Slide boxes have hollow trays and cover/sleeves. Sleeves are thinner than trays. However, the sleeve is not very fragile, protecting the products during shipping from sustaining any damage. Food industries primarily use sliding boxes. 

Try these color schemes.

Luxury boxes come in a variety of color schemes. The colors you use in your packaging also reflect your brand identity. By choosing the right colors, your brand can be easily recognized on shelves.

The following methods of coloring rigid boxes are available:

One-color 

In our minds, rigid boxes are either black or white. Since most brands choose monochrome for their luxury boxes, these colors are forever associated with that brand. 

Apple Inc. uses white as a logo color. Louis Vuitton, for example, uses orange. Monochrome design creates an association with customers and builds trust. Embossed and foil-stamped finishes highlight their logo and brand name.

Analogous 

Use analogous colors to enhance the look of your luxury boxes. A color wheel analogy is a group of three adjacent colors. Colors can be warm, cool, or a combination of these.

Colors that are analogous usually have similar shades. Examples include:

• The colors red, red-orange, and orange
• • The colors are blue, blue-purple, and purple.
• The colors blue, blue-green, and green

Complementary 

One primary color and one secondary color make up complementary colors. Both colors have a warm tone and a cool tone. To make their brands stand out, many brands use complementary colors. 

Brand Yourself with Luxury Boxes

The next step is to determine what type and color of luxury box is best for your product. The weight of rigid boxes makes shipping more expensive than other types of packaging boxes.
