Description
A separate lid over a separate base, wrapped in printed paper around rigid board — the reference construction for premium gift packaging.
Overview
In a two-piece box the lid sits over the base and covers most of its height, so the package reads as one solid block when closed. Both parts are built from greyboard and wrapped separately before assembly.
Because the walls are laminated rather than folded, the box keeps a sharp square edge and does not bow under light load. It is the construction most brands start with, and the one every other style here is measured against.

Gloss varnish applied only where the artwork calls for it.

Frequently asked
Full-cover or telescope lid?
Full-cover means the lid covers the whole base height. Telescope means the lid covers roughly two thirds and leaves a band of the base showing — useful when the base wrap carries a different colour or print.
Can the inside be printed?
Yes. Interior wrap can be printed, plain coloured, or lined with paper or velvet.
Do you make the insert as well?
Yes. Foam, pulp, paperboard and velvet-covered inserts are produced to the sample you approve.
What do you need to quote?
Inner dimensions, quantity, board and wrap preference, artwork if you have it, and the destination country.
