Hybrid Board Game Boxes

Our hybrid board game packaging provides a contemporary alternative to traditional paper-over-board rigid boxes. It offers the same durable build and premium appearance as rigid boxes but is fully recyclable, vegan, and eco-friendly.

They are perfectly suited for influencer boxes, Kickstarter stretch goals, and crowdfunding rewards.

  • Vegan-Friendly Production

  • Rapid Turnaround: Manufactured in the UK with minimal production time.

  • Custom Finishes: Hand-finished with ribbons and magnets.

  • Bespoke Design: Fully customisable with options for drawers and doors.

  • Material Choices: Wrapped in printed or deep-dyed materials.

  • Print Options: Includes embossing, foiling, laminates, satin, or shiny spot gloss finishes.

Rigid Board Game Packaging

Traditional ‘paper over board’ rigid boxes are commonly associated with premium board game packaging and remain a viable choice for many games. However, these boxes are often produced overseas and shipped fully assembled, which can be time-consuming and expensive. With increasing focus on reducing carbon footprints and avoiding animal-based glues (used in the paper over board gluing process), our UK-manufactured hybrid packaging provides an ideal alternative.

  • Solid Board: Wrapped with printed or deep-dyed materials.

  • Handmade: Can be finished with ribbons and magnets.

  • Bespoke Design: Fully customisable, with options for drawers and doors.

  • Production Time: More time-consuming to produce than hybrid boxes.

  • Print Finishes: Includes embossing, foiling, laminates, satin, or shiny spot gloss.
