RIGID BOXES

Rigid Boxes are a very common type of packaging and often seen associated with luxury products. Rigid Boxes are typically 4 times thicker than an average Folding Carton/Mono Carton and are not usually printed on directly. They are instead wrapped with paper that can be as plain or luxurious as desired. 

Rigid Box is not simply about luxury. It can (and should) be considered instead of a folding carton when protection and durability during transport and the often rough retail environment are major factors.

Also, in the consumer’s home, where repeated use and storage of the product in the box is an asset, rigid boxes add value to the end-users.

EXAMPLES

Shoe Box, iPhone / High-End Mobile Boxes, Board Games etc.

CORRUGATED BOXES

Corrugated Boxes are what you would commonly refer to as brown cardboard boxes, that you would for example, use to pack your belongings when moving to a new house. 

Corrugated Boxes typically have 3 layers, although they can increase up to 5 layer or 7 layer. Generally, the layers are made in such a way that a fluted or wavy layer is sandwiched between 2 outer flat layers. The fluted layer is where the strength of this paper product lies.

The fluting can be extra wide (A -flute) to very narrow (G-Flute). The wider the flute the more cushioning and compression resistance it offers.

EXAMPLES

Shipping Cartons, Online Delivery Parcels, TV/Fridge Boxes etc.

LAMINATE TUBES

Lamitube (or laminate tubes) are essentially tubes that are made by sealing two sides of a flat laminate. This laminate may be ABL (Aluminium Barrier) or PBL (Plastic Barrier).

Laminated squeeze tubes offer a form of tube material with the advantages of plastic but with barrier properties close to those of metal. Laminated tubes have a good “feel” and maintain their attractiveness throughout the life of their contents.

These tubes prevent contact with air, strong light and moisture and also act as a strong barrier against dust particles and wind. They are tamper-resistant and have a good “feel” about them, that is maintained throughout the shelf life. They are lightweight, hygienic and toxin-free and the low cost of manufacturing is an added bonus.

Printing on a flat laminate allows for better quality of printing, and with the value add options provided by PRPL, such as cold foiling, hot foiling, texture finish, matt finish, laminate tubes have replaced the plastic extrusion tubes.

EXAMPLES

 Toothpaste Tubes, Artist’s Paints, Hair-Care Products, Pharmaceuticals Etc.
