What are Rigid Boxes?

Rigid boxes are incredibly popular and are a preference for packaging when it comes to dainty and fragile items. This type of packaging is usually made from strong paperboard material which is durable and can weather a lot of turbulence. A lot of times, higher-end brands prefer to opt for paperboard packaging because of the elegance it brings to their product and instantly helps elevate the feel of their entire brand.

However, when you purchase a product packaged in rigid boxes, you might feel guilty about throwing away the beautiful and sturdy packaging it comes in. In this piece, we will tell you about how you can avoid this! Here are some really nifty ways you can re-use your rigid boxes and save them from the trash.

Ways you can Reuse Rigid Boxes

Make a Keepsake Box

One of the best uses of a rigid box is to store items that are fragile and what is more fragile than old pictures and cards? Keeping precious memories safe is incredibly important, and if you have to have a pull top rigid box lying around, you can easily use it to store old pictures and cards inside. We highly suggest getting a nice roll of wrapping paper, covering the outside surfaces of the box in case there is a logo or branding you might want to hide, and there you have it; a perfect little keepsakes box for your memories!

Make a Children’s Toy

All you need are some crafting supplies with which you can fashion an origami animal and place it inside so that when the child pulls out the compartment in the box, they get a little surprise!

Another great use of any rigid gift boxes you might have lying around your house is that you can re-use them to give a loved one their present. Presentation matters quite a lot so it’s very important that the wrapping for your present is as good as the present itself. Placing your gift even if it’s handmade or did not cost much in a beautiful box increases its value and shows the other person that there was a lot of effort that went into the gift.

A Brand New Jewelry Box

Storing your rings, smaller earrings and other knick-knacks can be a hassle. A lot of times, if a product is packaged in a rigid box, there is a chance that the box will have been fancy since no company invests in rigid packaging just to flake out on the design.

Turn it Into a Storage Container/Separator 

It never feels right throwing away your luxury rigid boxes and hence it might be a good idea to keep it around and just turn it into a general store container or as a separator for your drawers.
