3-PIECE CUSTOM LUXURY BOXES
Luxury rigid boxes / Neck box
The sophisticated gift packaging
The neck box is one of the most popular forms of luxury gift packaging. It is a versatile and durable box style.
The construction that consists of 3 parts is a high-end version of the lift-off lid style. The custom shoulder element adds gracefully to a memorable unboxing experience. In a variant, it can be slightly visible and become an accent design element.

Structural elements
This style is known as a neck, collar, shoulder, or 3-piece box. Each of the terms regards the fact that in addition to a base and a lid, there is a third tray element that is nested inside the base. This component usually comes out of the base and usually stands taller, hence forming a custom size neck.
Because of the neckpiece, the lid doesn’t have to contact the base to close the box. In cases when the base and lid don’t touch, there is a visible reveal.
With reveal
The inner tray capacity becomes the box capacity, because the lid is supported by the neck’s upper rim.
Without reveal
The box capacity is the sum of the base and lid depth. The neck can stand lower than the lid’s top part.
Materials
All elements have a greyboard core and are covered with a binding material.
Most often, the greyboard is 2 mm thick, but the thickness may vary according to the client’s request. The binding material is typically thin paper.

The lid doesn’t have to contact the base to close the box, because of the neckpiece. The lid fits tightly over the neck regardless of the presence of a reveal.

Base & Lid Depth
Depending on the depths of the two outer elements – the base and the lid – the position of the reveal changes. This aspect can be discussed and taken into account during the project brief step of the process at the beginning of our project.
It is possible to make different depths both ways: a deeper base or a deeper lid, depending on the purpose of the box.
The equal base and lid option is also possible, usually chosen for its more economic completion, regarding tooling, machine setup, etc.

This beautiful construction is highly resistant, reusable and can be 100% recyclable when made with unlaminated paper.
Make it remarkable
The box upgrades are packaging design elements for extra functionality, custom inner shape or new capacity. Each of them presents a great opportunity to create tailored packaging solutions.
Ribbons
Delicate flat ribbons are a great embellishment to the luxury box. They come in a great variety and are available in different widths and lengths, colours and materials.
The ribbons are easy-to-use pulls and add to the box appeal and to the unboxing experience. For our Neck boxes, we offer ribbon lifts for comfortable extraction of the box contents. Design tips
Tray Inserts
The tray inserts are custom elements made from paper and solidboard. They create custom inner shapes or change the tray capacity.
All the extra inserts are instruments for a greater unboxing experience. They can be used separately or in combination. The interior tray and interior lid are packaging solutions pre-designed by nPack’s team and customisable in size and appearance. Dividers and custom inlays are developed according to clients’ projects. Design tips
Pockets
All pockets provided by nPack are box elements made from paper and solidboard. They are suitable for flat paper sheets, such as documents and certificates, or for any type of card. The paper wallets serve as envelopes while the mounting corners fix an envelope to the box lid. Typically, the pockets are glued to an exact place on the box according to clients’ needs. Design tips
Sleeves
The sleeves are partial box wrappers opened at two ends.
The outer sleeve and the banderole are used as means of fixing the box closed, or just for the purpose of adding an extra printable surface. The lift-off band is a specially developed sleeve which uses a tear-off strip which turns it into a handle to take out one box from another box. Design tips
More upgrade options can be specially developed and produced for specific product and brand requirements.
