A collapsible rigid box with a ribbon handle: it ships flat, folds up in a few seconds at the point of packing, and carries like a bag once filled. The freight saving on a flat-packed box is the reason most volume gift programmes move to this construction.
The walls are still laminated board, so the finished box looks and feels rigid rather than like a folding carton.

What this box does for the product inside it
Ships flat, cuts freight
A flat-packed box takes a fraction of the container volume of an assembled rigid box, which is the single biggest cost lever on volume gift packaging.
Folds up in seconds
Magnetic or tab locking corners mean no glue and no tools at the packing bench.
Ribbon handle carries the box
The handle removes the need for a separate carrier bag at retail.
Rigid look once assembled
Laminated board keeps the premium feel of a rigid box after folding.
Stores flat between seasons
Unused stock takes minimal warehouse space.
Problems it solves
Container space wasted on air
Flat packing means you ship boxes, not the space inside them.
Slow assembly on the packing line
Fold-up corners assemble without glue or tape.
Needing a carrier bag as well as a box
The ribbon handle makes the box carry itself.
