The honest answer
Rigid boxes cost more per unit than folding cartons because they use more material and more hand assembly. The exact price depends on your specification, so a free quote on your real box is the accurate way to know. This guide explains what drives the cost so your choices are informed.
What drives the cost
Size and the amount of chipboard used. The wrap material and its finish. Printing, including full color and special colors. Premium finishes such as foil, soft touch, embossing, and spot UV, which add a luxury look and cost. Inserts and their material. The closure style, since magnetic and hinged builds cost more than a simple two piece. Quantity, since unit cost usually falls as volume rises. A clear quote shows you these tradeoffs.
