PR and rigid boxes · Packaging buyer’s guide
Rigid-box artwork must account for the way the printed wrap turns around edges and corners. Begin with the approved construction and template rather than adapting artwork from a folding carton.
The short answer
A rigid-box wrap turns around structural edges and joins. Confirm the wrap template, turn-ins, and lid-to-base relationship before placing critical graphics. Approve a finished wrapped sample because a flat proof cannot show corner execution.
What to review before approving production
Review joins, turned edges, and the relationship between the lid and base. Place critical text where it remains readable on the assembled box. Approve a wrapped sample for appearance and fit before relying on a flat color proof.
