Rigid Shoulder Boxes – Structurally Elegant Packaging That Elevates Product Presentation
Rigid shoulder boxes are a standout packaging solution designed for brands that prioritise structural integrity, sophisticated aesthetics, and a premium unboxing experience. With their three-part construction—lid, base, and a visible or hidden shoulder tray—these boxes offer an elevated presentation while ensuring secure, protective packaging. At Print Custom Box UK, we produce bespoke rigid shoulder boxes tailored to meet the branding, sustainability, and functionality needs of businesses across the UK.
From luxury retail and cosmetics to corporate gifting and subscription services, rigid shoulder boxes offer timeless appeal with the versatility to match your unique products and brand image.
What Are Rigid Shoulder Boxes?
Rigid shoulder boxes, also known as neck and shoulder boxes, are a rigid packaging style where the lid and base partially reveal a central tray (shoulder) that adds depth and support. The shoulder provides an elegant visual effect, giving the box a more structured and luxurious feel.
These boxes are pre-assembled and made from high-density greyboard, wrapped in premium paper, fabric, or textured materials. Ideal for upscale products, they combine form and function to create a lasting impression.
