This is an example of a small, rigid box made for storing products.

We received a request from a shop in Normandy, France, that mainly deals in Japanese paper products.
We custom-made rigid boxes for storing the products.
A simple, palm-sized box with a flap-type design, using chiyogami (decorative paper) and folk art paper for the adhesive.
A distinctive feature is that each box is carefully hand-wrapped and sealed, resulting in a custom-made finish.
These boxes were shipped to the destination by air freight after completion.
After that, we decided to continue making another type of rigid box.
This will be used at a trade show in Bordeaux.
I'm curious to know if the locals liked it.
I'd really like to hear the local reaction.

Rigid boxes are paper products that can be made to match the image of the product or brand.
The advantage is that you can produce items in relatively small batches using your preferred paper color, texture, size, and shape, including washi paper and small paper items.
Since it's a specially made box, we hope you'll reuse it for another purpose after use.
Manufacturing rigid boxes certainly incurs costs.
Based on our past experience, we will propose the most suitable and best solution to your specific constraints.
It's not just a paper product; it's about promoting your company's products, creating a sense of luxury, and differentiating yourself from competitors.
Please use this as a tool to enhance your company's brand image.
