A flip top box has a lid that stays attached to the base and swings open on a built-in hinge, so a customer opens and recloses it with one hand and never sets a loose lid down. That is why it wins for anything opened again and again: supplements and vitamins, mints and gum, pre-rolls, lip balm and cosmetics, small electronics, and repeat-use gift sets. We make flip top boxes with no minimum order, so you can run 100 to prove the fit and reorder at a lower per-box price as volume grows, at a price we will quote against any competitor.

There are two ways we build them. A folding-carton flip top is cut and creased from 14pt to 24pt SBS or kraft, ships flat, and pops open for hand or machine filling. It is the economical choice for retail runs. A rigid flip top is built on 800 to 1600 gsm greyboard wrapped in printed paper, often with a magnetic catch, for a heavier, gift-grade feel that suits premium cosmetics, jewelry, and electronics. Tell us the product and how it will be used and we will point you to the one that fits the budget.

Every flip top can be sized to your exact product and finished the way your shelf needs it: matte or gloss lamination, soft-touch, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, and a die-cut window if the buyer should see inside. You get a free dieline and proof before anything prints, free samples, and free shipping. Standard turnaround is about 10 to 14 business days after proof approval, with rush handled case by case.

Flip top box FAQ

What is a flip top box?

A flip top box is a box whose lid is attached to the base and opens on a hinge, so it flips up to open and presses back down to close. Because the lid never separates, it suits products that get opened repeatedly, like supplements, mints, and pre-rolls.

Should I choose a folding carton or a rigid flip top?

Choose a folding-carton flip top for economical retail runs that ship flat and fill fast. Choose a rigid flip top, usually with a magnetic catch, when you want a heavier gift-grade feel for premium cosmetics, jewelry, or electronics. We quote both so you can compare.

Is there a minimum order?

No. We make custom flip top boxes with no minimum order, so you can test a size and design at 100 and reorder at a better per-unit price as your volume grows.

Can a flip top box have a window or a magnetic closure?

Yes. Folding-carton flip tops can take a die-cut window with a clear film patch, and rigid flip tops can be built with a hidden magnetic closure. Tell us the look you want and we will build it into the proof.
