Set-up or rigid paper boxes are assembled by piecing together flat sheets of boxboard,
which are held together at the sides with corner stays and adhesive. The assembled box
is covered with decorative paper that is adhered to the exterior surface. Unlike folding
cartons, which are often delivered flat, set-up boxes are delivered as a three-dimensional
product ready to be filled with merchandise. They can be easily adapted to a variety of
applications that may include platforms, plastic domes, or compartments. Their decorative
quality makes them suitable for cosmetics, candy, and jewelry. Set-up boxes instantly add
an upscale look to gifts, gift boxes, and luxury items.
Basic Set-up Construction
A simple set-up box involves scoring a sheet of box board so that the sides can be folded
at right angles to the base. The side panels are fastened at the corners with tape, fabric,
or metal. The assembled box is covered with a precut sheet of paper that is scored at
the fold lines, adhered to the outside, and wrapped around the box edges so that it cov-
ers a portion of the interior. Two trays, such as the one shown here, are typically com-
bined to form a box and lid.
