So, it appears upright also when viewing it through an opening (window) in your custom rigid box.
As stated, there are many types of custom rigid boxes, but we will concentrate on the most common ones:
Open Bottom Box
An open bottom box has a base and sides like any custom rigid box. An opening is left in the bottom of the base, and there is no lid for this type of custom rigid box. This custom rigid box requires no assembly.Â
They are suitable for items placed directly inside or dropped into it via the opening at the base. If you want to place something inside the custom rigid box to stand upright, consider that the contents will fall into the bottom of the box because there is no lid.Â
You may resolve this problem by having your items standing on end (standing up). If they are not standing on end, consider orientating them to your logo. So that it appears upright when viewed through an opening in your custom rigid box.
A possible solution for placing items inside these boxes to remain upright is using foam inserts. These can also provide extra protection for your items. However, most open bottom boxes are used to ship, display & store items that are not very fragile.Â
If your items are very valuable or vulnerable to damage during transport, then you should consider using a different type of custom rigid box.
Open bottom boxes are the least expensive of the custom rigid boxes. They also have the advantage of being produced in large quantities with no minimum order quantity. It makes them ideal for projects where you need lots of similar boxes at low cost, e.g.,Â
- Promotional t-shirts
- Food products
- Etc.
Close-End Box
A closed end box is exactly like an open bottom box. Yet, it has a lid so items cannot fall out when turned upside down. This box can be logo-oriented. So, it appears upright when viewed through an opening in the custom rigid box.
Closed end boxes are not usually used to ship, display, or store very fragile items. You cannot turn them over without losing the contents. However, most open bottom boxes are used to ship, display & store items that are not very fragile.Â
They are more suited for shipping, storing & displaying items that are less vulnerable to damage during transport. They protect their contents from dust, dirt, and moisture better than open bottom boxes.
If you print your logo on closed-end Custom Printed Rigid Boxes, consider orientating it. So that it appears upright when viewing it through an opening in the base of your custom rigid box. Thus, turning it upside down during transport or storage would not result in a logo that appears upside down.
