In a society which is focusing on good taste, the attention to details and the careful selection of materials are fundamental aspects for the realization of top-quality products.
Meeting customers' expectations is particularly important when it comes to top quality products; in order to reach this purpose, even the smallest single aspect and detail of the product must be considered carefully.
More than just packaging
In the Luxury sector, high-quality packaging is of essence: an elegant, refined and well-designed box stands out, grabbing consumers’ attention and enhancing the value of the product. For this reason, the rigid box has a fundamental role: it is the product business card and it also increases in value, reinforcing the brand equity. Far from being only a case, packaging acts as carrier for useful information about the product’s worth, price and purpose: it reflects product quality.
Across the wide range of luxury packaging available on the market, rigid boxes play a key role thanks to their ability to adapt to the ever-changing market trends. In the luxury packaging industry, new styles emerge constantly, from one year to another.

It goes without saying that, due to this tendency, it has been observed a higher request of round rigid boxes made with cardboard and paper, instead of the more popular and well-known tin and plastic round containers.

Furthermore, cardboard round rigid boxes respect the transparency concept, avoiding wastefulness. Thanks to their high-quality, solidity and aesthetically pleasant look, the boxes can be reused in different ways and considered as a product itself.
