About Our Custom Lid and Base Box
Our lid and base boxes are a classic two-piece rigid setup box — sturdy, elegant and made for a premium unboxing moment. Both the lid and the base are built from 1.5–3.0mm high-density grey board (1,000–1,800gsm) wrapped in FSC®-certified printed paper, giving the box a rigid, warp-resistant wall with a calm, high-end feel. 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 a rigid box with lid — is a premium packaging structure made from high-density grey board 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. JOYBEAN 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): 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 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.
