About Our Lid and Base Boxes
Our lid and base boxes are a classic two-piece rigid setup box — sturdy, elegant and made for a premium unboxing moment.

It is the go-to structure for luxury gifts, apparel, home decor and premium retail packaging — supplied factory-direct at an MOQ of 500 pieces.

What Is a Two-Piece Rigid Setup Box?
A two-piece rigid setup box — also called a lid and base box, or rigid boxes with lids — is a premium packaging structure made from high-density grey board that is wrapped in printed paper. Unlike a folding carton, the board is not folded: it is cut, wrapped and “set up”, which produces a rigid, warp-resistant box with a thick, luxurious wall and a crisp lid fit. Jinglin Packaging manufactures custom lid and base boxes factory-direct for B2B wholesale buyers with a strict MOQ of 500 pieces.
Lid and Base Box Structure Options
- Full telescoping (full cover / classic lidded box): the lid slides fully down over the base for maximum protection — the most common lid and base box.
- Partial telescoping (half cover): a shallower lid that covers roughly one third of the base, keeping the printed base artwork visible.
- Shoulder & neck (inner surround): a shoulder board creates a stepped, flush-fitting lid with a satisfying air-cushion close — a favourite for luxury gift boxes.
- Deep base: a taller base for bottles, candles and multi-item gift sets.
Grey Board, Wrapping Paper & Material Grades
Core board is high-density grey board from 1.5mm to 3.0mm (1,000gsm–1,800gsm). Wrapping paper options include 157gsm or 200gsm coated art paper, speciality textured art paper and soft-touch laminated film. All paperboard is FSC® certified (FSC-C179946) and printed with soy-based inks, so the box supports your sustainability reporting as well as your brand image.
Inner Lining & Insert Options
- High-density EVA: precision die-cut foam for electronics, tools and heavy items.
- Sponge / PU foam: soft cushioning for fragile products.
- Molded pulp: plastic-free, recyclable and cost-efficient at volume.
- Blister (PET) tray: crystal-clear presentation for cosmetics and skincare.
- Silk / satin tray: the classic luxury jewellery finish.
- Custom dividers, platforms, ribbon pulls and magnetic add-ons.
Surface Finishing
Foil stamping (gold, silver, holographic), embossing and debossing, spot UV, matte or gloss lamination and soft-touch film. Several finishes can be combined on one box — for example soft-touch lamination with gold foil and spot UV — for a multi-texture, tactile result.

Wide Industry Applications



Lid and Base Box Styles Explained
Four constructions cover almost every lid and base brief. The difference is not cosmetic — it changes how much board the box uses, how it survives transit, and how much ceremony the opening carries.
| Style | How the lid sits | Typical depth | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half-cover (partial telescope) | Lid covers roughly half the base, leaving a visible band | 60–100mm | Shallow products, confectionery, retail shelf |
| Full-cover (full telescope) | Lid covers the full base depth, edges meet at the bottom | 80–150mm | Gift sets, tall bottles, maximum side protection |
| Deep base | Thin lid over a raised base with a false floor | 100–200mm | Short items that must present high in the box |
| Shoulder and neck | Inner collar creates a stepped profile and cushioned close | 80–160mm | Fragrance, spirits, jewellery — premium unboxing |
Beyond the lid, three choices decide how the box performs in use. The wall thickness (1.5mm to 3.0mm greyboard) sets rigidity and weight. The insert — die-cut paperboard, EVA foam, moulded pulp or a velvet tray — decides protection and perceived value. The opening tolerance decides feel: a lid cut too tight drags, too loose and it slips. That tolerance is the single most common reason a sample is rejected, which is why we cut a physical sample before any production run.
If the box has to travel far or be handled repeatedly, a magnetic folding box ships flat and saves freight, while a drawer box suits multi-item sets where the customer needs to reach in rather than lift off.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom lid and base boxes?
Our MOQ is 500 pieces per design and per print for bulk wholesale B2B orders. A 500-piece run keeps die-cutting, board wrapping and offset printing cost-efficient, so you receive factory-direct pricing on a production-grade two-piece rigid box.
Which board and materials do you use?
We use high-density grey board from 1.5mm to 3.0mm (1,000gsm–1,800gsm) wrapped in 157gsm or 200gsm coated art paper, speciality textured art paper, or soft-touch laminated paper. All paperboard is FSC® certified (FSC-C179946) and printed with soy-based inks.
Which lid and base box structures can you manufacture?
We produce full telescoping (classic full-cover) boxes, partial telescoping (half-cover) boxes, shoulder & neck (inner surround) boxes, and deep-base lid and base boxes. Each structure can be sized to your exact product dimensions.
What insert and inner lining options are available?
Choose high-density EVA, sponge or PU foam, molded pulp, a PET blister tray, or a silk/satin tray. We also add custom dividers, platforms, ribbon pulls and magnetic closures to secure and present your product.
Which surface finishes can be applied?
Matte or gloss lamination, soft-touch film, foil stamping (gold, silver, holographic), embossing, debossing and spot UV. Several finishes can be combined on the same box for a multi-texture effect.
What are your sampling and production lead times?
Samples are produced in 3–5 business days. Mass production takes 10–12 business days after sample approval. Shipping is usually 3–7 days by express, or by air and sea freight for larger wholesale volumes.
How are the boxes packed for export?
Every carton is export-ready: moisture-proof PE bags with desiccant, shockproof 5-layer corrugated master cartons, and palletized loading, so the rigid boxes arrive flat-free and undamaged after long-distance sea freight.
Do you offer free design and logo printing?
Yes. We provide free packaging design and a 3D mockup, plus full-colour CMYK or Pantone printing with your logo on the outside and inside of the box. Digital proofs are shared within 24–48 hours.
