Explain what magnetic rigid boxes are.
Board boxes that are coated with printed paper or textured paper or book binding are used to make gift boxes that are magnetic rigid. When put through folding cartons a magnet insertion is necessary to ensure that the magnetic rigid boxes come fully made and stay three-dimensional.
How Do They Work?
On the bottom of the lid behind wrapping paper are the small magnets, they are hidden in the edge and base of the board (archival quality card). The magnets are drawn towards each other when the box is shut. Ensure that the lid stays shut. With the board and the magnets aligned right the lid opens. Ends neatly each time to create a storage box or a gift box.
