The Art of Unboxing: How Custom Gift & Rigid Boxes Elevate Your Brand Experience

In today’s competitive market, your packaging does more than protect your product, it creates the first impression. The moment your customer lifts the lid or unfolds a box, they experience your brand story through touch, texture, and design.

At VIVO Boxes, we believe great packaging should feel like a gift, elegant, thoughtful, and memorable. Whether you’re looking for folding gift boxes that balance style and practicality, or rigid luxury boxes that exude sophistication, our custom solutions are crafted to help your products shine.

Why Packaging Matters More Than Ever

We live in the age of unboxing videos and visual storytelling. The box your product comes in can be the difference between being noticed or overlooked.
A well-designed box communicates quality before a customer even touches what’s inside. It builds excitement, enhances perceived value, and shows that your brand cares about every detail.

That’s why more businesses from boutique candle makers to global skincare brands are investing in beautiful, sustainable packaging that elevates both their image and their environmental responsibility.

Folding Gift Boxes: Elegant, Practical, and Sustainable

When style meets smart design, you get the perfect gift box.

Our folding gift boxes are a favourite among brands that want to impress without overcomplicating logistics. They arrive flat-packed, saving space and reducing shipping costs, yet transform into a strong, rigid structure once assembled.

What Makes Them Special

• Elegant presentation, minimal cost: Premium look with efficient shipping.

• Fully customisable: Choose your shape, size, finish, and print style to match your brand aesthetic.

• Eco-conscious materials: Crafted from recyclable and FSC-certified paper, combining beauty with responsibility.

• High-definition printing: Vivid digital and offset printing brings your logo and colours to life.

From cosmetics to tea collections, candles, or fashion accessories, these boxes add polish to your product presentation while keeping your carbon footprint low.

Rigid Boxes: Luxury That Lasts

If folding boxes are about smart efficiency, rigid boxes are about timeless elegance.

Made from thick greyboard wrapped in premium art paper, rigid boxes embody craftsmanship and luxury. They’re the choice of brands that want every customer interaction to feel special that subtle click of a magnetic lid or the smooth glide of a drawer box can transform a simple purchase into a premium experience.

Why Brands Love Them

• Exceptional strength: Built from 1000–1500 gsm greyboard for durability and a premium feel.

• Finishing finesse: Add depth and texture with foil stamping, embossing, or soft-touch lamination.

• Distinctive closures: Choose from magnetic lids, ribbon ties, or drawer styles for a signature unboxing moment.

• Eco-friendly luxury: Combine sophistication with sustainability using FSC-certified papers.

These are perfect for high-end candles, jewellery, luxury skincare, or gourmet chocolates, anywhere the experience matters as much as the product itself.
