How to make a set-up boxes

Two Radically Different Approaches to Packaging
Before we investigate the actual manufacturing process, let’s consider the differences
between a folding carton and a set-up box. At first glance, it may be difficult to tell them
apart. The base and lid on the left look pretty much the same as the boxes on the right.

Take a closer look, however, and you’ll see that the panels on the box on the left have
been folded over to make up the box. The lid on the right is made from a single piece of
chipboard, cut-scored to fold, with the sides held together by tape.

The sample on the left is a folding carton; the one on the right is a set-up box.

How to make a rigid boxes

Each type of paperboard packaging has its uses. Here is a comparison of some of the
advantages of each method of manufacture.

Set-up boxes have been in use since the late 1800’s. Today, there are many variations
of possible styles, some of which may be seen on the following pages. For our purposes,
we will describe the manufacture of the most basic style, the wrapped set-up base and
lid.

Non-bending chipboard, the material most often used for rigid boxes, may range from
.040 (40 thousandths of an inch) to .080 or more. Compare this to folding cartons, whose
stock may vary from .010 to .036. Note that there are many types of substrate used by
folding cartons depending upon the end use of the packaging, but most set-up boxes
use chipboard. This is because in set-up box manufacturing, the finishing is done to the
wrap, not the substrate.

The exception is when a material called white vat-lined chip is used. In this case, the
chipboard is lined on either one or both sides with a white coating made from newsprint,
giving the box a more finished appearance. This stock works especially well if the interior
of the box is to remain unfinished, or unlined. By contrast, Image 5 shows some samples
of lined boxes.

yes, the set-up box can be wrapped over by printed thinner paper or other material and makes a very nice gift box, and the left one is much simple. check cost-effective box manufacturer at candidusprint.com
