Custom Telescope Rigid Box Assembly and Packing Service
Because telescope rigid boxes can be large and don’t flat pack, the shipping costs are relatively expensive. To help offset these added costs, if you purchase the products that you want to package inside them here in China, we can assemble the boxes and load the items into them for you before shipping. This service offers you a significant saving on shipping, assembly, and packaging.

Telescope Rigid Box Styles
Choose from the three main styles of rigid box design. The pictures below should speak for themselves, but if you have a question, just ask. We’ll be delighted to help.
Full Telescope Rigid Box
A full telescope rigid box has a lid which completely covers the base. To make lifting the lid easier, we can add a notch or ribbon. Once fully opened, the lid and the base are two separate parts. This is a very strong box style and offers excellent protection to your products. They can be customized by choosing different materials and finishes and by adding your own designs, brand colors, logo, slogan, and more.
Partial Telescope Rigid Box
The partial telescope rigid box has a main tray with a separate lid which slides snugly over the top but only covers a part—typically about half—of the base. Despite not fully covering the base, the lid fits snugly and is held in place by an “airlock” leaving it easy to lift with your fingers. Simple and elegant in design, practical and easy to use, these boxes are also very strong and robust during both storage, transit, and display.
Uses of Rigid Boxes for Product Packaging
Board Game Telescope Rigid Box
This is a box which can be made to any dimensions and may be full or partial, but often have custom-made cardboard, PVC, or foam inserts designed to hold the various game components, with space on top for the board and rule book. There’s something exciting about lifting the lid to discover what’s inside that give these boxes their particular appeal to customers. These boxes also look good in store window or on-shelf displays.
Jigsaw Telescope Rigid Box
Much like the board game box in overall design and appearance, but jigsaw boxes usually have a full telescope lid to keep the pieces safe inside. Inside the box, the jigsaw may be laid flat, fully assembled, or the pieces can be loaded loose into a sealed plastic bag. The cover typically has artwork which acts as a guide to the puzzler, to help them work out how to put the pieces together.
Custom Telescope Rigid Box Materials
We make telescope rigid boxes from grayboard covered with coated white paper. The printed or colored paper can cover just the exterior or both the exterior and interior of the box. Our standard papers are:
Printed paper—we use CMYK offset printing on 157 gsm / 106 lb art paper
Brown kraft paper—120 gsm / 81 lb paper made from chemical pulp, this paper is tough, resistant, and durable
Black kraft paper—same as above, but black, with a slick, professional look
Colored paper—120 gsm / 81 lb paper in a variety of attractive colors and shades
Soft-touch paper—120 gsm / 81 lb paper with a scuff-resistant, velvety coating
Textured paper—120 gsm / 81 lb paper paper with a textile-like finish
We can also include custom inserts made from paperboard, foam, silk, PVC, and other materials of your choice.

Custom Telescope Rigid Box Printing Options
At QinPrinting, we use soy-based ink, which is eco-friendly and produces beautiful, vibrant colors. Box printing options are:
CMYK offset printing —uses cyan, magenta, yellow, and black to create the whole spectrum.
Pantone color printing—a form of offset printing, used to obtain 100% faithfulness in color reproduction.
Silk printing—not suitable for photographs but ideal for logos, text, and simple graphics on black or colored paper.
Custom Telescope Rigid Box Special Finishes
Here’s a helpful list of the range of options to enhance your telescopic rigid box.
Gloss lamination adds a shiny, smooth look that elevates the vibrancy and color of your carton’s printed surface.
Matte lamination gives your boxes a charming, more subtle finish than gloss. It also tends to soften the colors on your printed surface, which can be the perfect effect for certain products.
Soft touch lamination is a relatively new technique. The result is similar to matte lamination, but the surface has a delightful, almost velvet feel which speaks of quality and luxury.
Varnishing your carton adds a transparent, tough, protective surface. It looks great and is a good option for boxes that will be in storage for longer periods or spend more time in transit.
Foil stamping adds a metallic effect to lettering or other design elements. Gold, silver and bronze are the most popular choices, but we can use pigments to create a foil stamp in almost any color you’d like.
Embossing is a process by which we raise the surface of an area of the box to make it literally stand out.
Like embossing, only the surface is pressed inward to creative a concave impression rather than standing out.
Rather than coating the whole box, you can highlight a specific area with spot UV. We apply a clear polymer coat to the specified area — which could be a product name, a logo, or an image — which really makes it “pop” and catch the eye. Suitable only for surfaces treated with matte or soft-touch lamination.
This is state-of-the-art technology. Using lasers, we can adhere and build metal foil on the surface of your box, creating a stunning, metallic effect on lettering, logos, or other design elements — or even the whole box!
Our Environmental Commitment
We actively encourage reuse and recycling of all our products. We can use recycled or FSC-certified materials on request. FSC-certified means materials from responsibly managed, sustainable forests.
