Four Collapsible Rigid Box Structures, Built to Your Spec
All four fold flat for shipping and lock into full rigid-box form on assembly — from everyday retail cartons to luxury collapsible boxes for flagship launches, every structure meets the same ±0.3mm fold tolerance. Each one can be made as magnetic collapsible rigid boxes or with a lower-cost tape closure, as collapsible rigid boxes with inserts cut to your product, and as collapsible gift boxes with logo foil or embossing. Read what a collapsible rigid box is and collapsible vs. traditional rigid boxes.
Five-Panel Foldable Box
The standard build for regular box shapes: it ships flat and snaps up fast on the packing line. Ideal for core retail ranges ordered in volume.
Seven-Panel Foldable Box
Adds one extra panel across the fold for strength. Ideal for larger box sizes and heavier products.
Ribbon-Tie Foldable Box
Closes with a ribbon tie instead of a magnet — our most requested collapsible rigid gift boxes, often bought as foldable rigid gift boxes or flat pack rigid gift boxes in bulk. Ideal for gifting and hospitality.
Foldable Box with Handle
Folds flat like the rest of the line, with a built-in carry handle. Ideal for carry-out retail and event gifting.
70–80% Less Shipping Volume Than a Traditional Rigid Box
Traditional rigid boxes ship and store fully assembled. Collapsible ones ship flat, and that difference shows up on your freight bill. It’s why freight-heavy programmes switch to flat pack rigid boxes, or flat fold rigid boxes if that’s the term your team uses. Enter your own sizes to see the difference.
Use outer carton or shipping dimensions for a more realistic estimate. Palletisation and carrier minimums can affect actual freight cost.

Every Collapsible Box Is Checked Against Your Approved Sample
As a foldable rigid box manufacturer, we run our own collapsible rigid box factory in China. We check fold lines, magnet alignment, and colour against your signed master sample during the run and again before packing.
You can check us before you commit: book an on-site visit, a third-party inspection, or a live video tour of the line.
Fold lines are cut to the same tolerance on every structure, so boxes snap up square.
Samples are fold-tested so the lines do not show or weaken with use.
Each run is checked against the retained sample, so reorders match earlier stock.
Targets agreed at sample stage and confirmed in writing before production.
Our Sample Process
We work from your existing dieline or tech pack — no redesign required. Five steps lock in the spec before your order moves to bulk production.

Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers to what supply chain, brand, and procurement teams ask most.
Standard production runs start at 5,000 units per SKU. For qualified brand partners, our team can advise on options on request.
Yes — we provide an NDA before any dieline or tech pack review, without you needing to ask.
Yes. We make OEM collapsible rigid boxes to your dieline, artwork, and packing rules, and they ship under your brand only. As a private label rigid box manufacturer, we put no Lipack branding on your boxes or cartons.
Depends on funding: tooling paid for by the client belongs to the client. Tooling funded by Lipack remains a Lipack asset per standard industry practice, and can be bought out by agreement. We confirm which applies before you commit to a quote.
Yes — that’s our core strength. Send your existing spec through Spec Review and we execute to it, with the same QC rigour as a from-scratch build.
Ask for certificates you can check (FSC, ISO 9001), a signed master sample, and a factory audit. A reliable collapsible rigid box supplier lets you audit on site, by video, or through a third party. We can set up all three.
Yes — the greyboard core (1200gsm standard / 1500gsm heavy-duty) is the same weight as a non-collapsible box. Collapsibility comes from precision scoring, not thinner material.
No — fold lines are CNC-cut to ±0.3mm and tested to 200+ open-close cycles without deformation. The structure holds the same rigidity as a traditional set-up box once assembled.
Yes. Most of our range closes with a magnet, so we work as a collapsible magnetic box manufacturer as well as a collapsible gift box manufacturer. Magnets are set into the board before wrapping and checked for alignment during the run. Collapsible magnetic boxes wholesale orders run on the same lines and QC checks as the rest of the range.
Magnets give a firmer, more premium close and cost more. Double-sided tape costs less and holds just as well. Both are built into the box before it ships flat, and we can sample both so you can compare.
Yes — every run is checked against a retained sample to ΔE ≤ 1.5, so a reorder six months later still matches shelf-adjacent stock.
FSC Chain-of-Custody, ISO 9001:2015, SGS-tested materials, CNAS accreditation, and Disney FAMA approval.
Sample production takes 3–5 days once artwork is final. Bulk production runs 20–25 days after sample approval. Shipping: DDP sea freight 20–30 days, air freight 7–10 days.
Folded flat, they take up 70–80% less shipping volume than an assembled rigid box. Savings on freight and DC space depend on your box dimensions, lane, and incoterm — send us your dieline and we’ll run the numbers.
Yes — they ship flat in export cartons, so they take far less space in the container and in your warehouse. Your team or co-packer opens each one by hand along the fold lines; no tools are needed.
