Lid and Base Box (Two Piece)
Foldable lid and base boxes, also known as foldable two-piece product boxes, are a popular packaging option made of two separate pieces: a base and a lid. They are typically made from paperboard or cardboard and have scored folds, so they fold flat for storage and shipping. With a simple fold they become sturdy boxes ready to hold your products.
