Premium rigid boxes are some of the most commonly used and sought after boxes within the luxury packaging industry.

Rigid boxes differ from other boxes in a few key ways; most notably, material thickness, opening/closing experience, and manufacturing methods. Typically rigid boxes are four to five times thicker than traditional folded cartons and have many more options for opening experiences compared to corrugated boxes.

I'll admit it.

After writing for the LD Davis blog for the last few years, I have become slightly obsessed with reading blogs from companies that work in our industries. Specifically, there are some really fantastic packaging blogs that I've discovered, and share articles from pretty regularly. 

The world is currently choked with plastics: eight million metric tons of plastic are dumped into the ocean every year¹, and if this trend continues, an estimated 12 billion tons of plastic waste will be present in the environment by 2050².

One of the main culprits in producing plastic waste is the food packaging industry. After their initial use, plastic water bottles, food containers and utensils find their way into the environment, plaguing wildlife and their ecosystems during a life cycle of up to 1,000 years before decomposition³.

One of our most popular lines of rigid box glues in recent years has been our NW0500 series animal glues (protein glues).

Not only were these products designed by our technical team with equipment operators in mind, but we worked closely with rigid box equipment manufacturers to hit the nail on the head with this cost competitive line of glues.
