PR and rigid boxes · Packaging buyer’s guide
A presentation structure and a shipping structure solve different parts of a launch. Compare rigid boxes and corrugated mailers using the intended opening experience, packed dimensions, and distribution route.

The short answer
Compare the complete presentation and shipping system. A rigid box may need an outer shipper, while a corrugated mailer still needs suitable product support and closure. Include storage, packing, freight, and protective components in the comparison.
What to review before approving production
Review storage and freight as well as print appearance. A presentation box may require an outer shipper, while a mailer still needs a suitable insert and closure. Compare complete packed samples and total project components rather than box unit prices alone.
