What characterizes hinged boxes?
Hinged boxes take a special position among the many possible shipping boxes. The key feature of a hinged box is as following: The goods to be shipped are inserted into the carton from above and the carton is closed with a hinged lid. Flaps on the side of the hinged lid ensure that it fits into the carton.
The recipient of the shipment opens the box with the hinged lid and immediately has a view of the contents. This can be presented in a very appealing form. The unboxing experience is great.
An aesthetically pleasing hinged box can be printed with custom designs and logos. That's why hinged boxes make excellent brand ambassadors. In some households, they may have a second life as storage.
