Custom flip top boxes are a category of rigid packaging defined by their signature structural feature: a lid that is permanently attached to the base of the box along one edge by a fabric, paper, or board hinge, allowing it to swing open and closed in a single fluid motion rather than being removed entirely. This hinged construction means the lid and base are always connected eliminating the risk of a separated lid being misplaced and ensuring a consistent, repeatable opening experience every time the box is used.
Flip top boxes are manufactured from high-density greyboard or chipboard wrapped in specialty paper, fabric, or other premium materials, and are available in a full range of interior configurations from simple paper-lined bases to precision foam inserts, velvet linings, and multi-compartment tray systems. They are fully set-up arriving ready to use with no assembly required and maintain their structural shape and dimensional precision throughout the supply chain and the product lifecycle.

Whether you need a compact hinged box for a single lipstick or a large hinged presentation box for a multi-piece gift set, our manufacturing capability and material range deliver the result your brand demands.
