Building on the structural advantages previously mentioned, the lid-and-base box styles commonly found on the market today can be categorized in various ways, covering needs ranging from standard models to creative, custom designs:
Categorized by basic closure structure
Full-coverage lid-and-base box
The lid completely encases the base box. With a clean, elegant profile, this is the most versatile standard style, suitable for a wide range of conventional gift packaging; however, the opening action is slightly less smooth
Partial-coverage lid-and-base box (Lid-over-base style)
The lid covers only the upper section (approximately 10mm) of the base box rather than the entire body. This allows for smoother opening, and the exposed portion of the base offers an opportunity for distinctive design; it is a mainstream choice for premium gift boxes.
Base-over-lid style (Inset lid)
The lid fits entirely inside the base box, often secured externally by a sleeve. This design offers an exceptionally tight seal, making it ideal for packaging high-value items that require robust protection and a secure fit.
Flanged lid-and-base box
This style adds a flange or insert structure to the base box, significantly enhancing structural stability. When paired with custom inserts, it provides superior product fixation and protection, making it suitable for high-end products with stringent protection requirements.
