LID AND BASE BOX
The historic lid and base box is a classic model consisting of a rigid tray with a removable, lift-off lid. Due to the lack of magnets and with the choice of unlaminated paper, the box can be 100% recyclable. The construction is exceptionally durable and sturdy, making it suitable for both gift and mailing boxes.

Lid style
The lid and base box is a telescopic model in which the lid fits over the base, where the base is the narrower part. There are three different variants of the lid depth.
The lid can be as large as needed to either come off easily or to encase the base tightly.
The full depth lid has the same depth as the base and entirely covers the base. The partial depth lid covers the base to some extent. A typical representaive of a partial depth lid is the light-weight lid box, also known as a shoe-box.
Depending on the clearance between the lid and the base, the fit can be loose or tight. The clearance gap will be determined by the box dimensions and the client’s requirements
All elements of the box with lid have a greyboard core and are covered with a wrapping material.
Most often, the greyboard is 2 mm thick, but the thickness may vary according to the client’s request. The wrapping material is typically thin paper.
nPack’s lid and base boxes are typically manufactured using sustainably produced papers of European origin, sourced from GF Smith (UK), Koehler Paper (DE), Fedrigoni (IT), Favini (IT), Arctic Paper (SE), Winter & Co. (UK), etc.
Design upgrades
The design upgrades to the lid and base boxes include packaging elements that add extra functionality, custom inner shapes, or modified capacity. Each of them presents a great opportunity to create tailored packaging solutions.
Unlimited upgrade options can be specially developed and produced for specific product and brand requirements.
The tray inserts are custom elements made from paper and solidboard. They create custom inner shapes or change the lid and base box tray capacity.
All the extra inserts are instruments for a greater unboxing experience. They can be used separately or in combination.
The interior tray and interior lid are packaging solutions pre-designed by nPack’s team and customisable in size and appearance. Dividers and custom inlays are developed according to clients’ projects.

Delicate flat ribbons are a great embellishment to the luxury lid and base gift box. They come in a great variety and are available in different widths and lengths, colours and materials.
The ribbons are easy-to-use pulls and add to the box appeal and to the unboxing experience. For our custom Lid and base style, we offer ribbon lifts for comfortable extraction of the box contents.
All pockets provided by nPack are box elements made from paper and solidboard. They are suitable for flat paper sheets, such as documents and certificates, or for any type of card. The paper wallets serve as envelopes while the mounting corners fix an envelope to the box lid. Typically, the pockets are glued to an exact place on the box according to clients’ needs.

The sleeves are partial box wrappers opened at two ends.
The outer sleeve and the banderole are used as means of fixing the box closed, or just for the purpose of adding an extra printable surface. The lift-off band is a specially developed sleeve which uses a tear-off strip which turns it into a handle to take out one box from another box.
