At a Glance
Flower rigid boxes protect something no other product in this catalog quite resembles — a living, perishable item that continues to change after it's packaged, which means this format has to manage moisture, stem support, and a countdown clock on freshness that a durable good never has to contend with. Every hour a flower arrangement spends in transit is an hour closer to the end of its usable life, which puts a genuine time pressure on this format that almost nothing else in this catalog experiences.Built for a Living Product
The shell uses rigid chipboard construction, often with a water-resistant or laminated interior lining specifically to handle any moisture from stems, floral foam, or a small water reservoir included to extend the arrangement's freshness during transit. Stem support is the central engineering challenge here, typically a foam base or a fitted interior collar that holds stems upright and separated so blooms don't crush against each other or the box's interior walls during shipping. Different flower varieties also tolerate handling differently, a sturdy sunflower survives far more jostling than a delicate peony, which means insert design sometimes needs to account for the specific varieties in a given arrangement rather than treating all flowers as equally resilient. Box depth and footprint also need to account for the arrangement's full height once flowers are standing upright, which is a meaningfully different measurement than the arrangement's footprint alone, and getting that depth wrong either crushes taller blooms or leaves the arrangement rattling loose in an oversized box. Tall stemmed flowers like delphiniums or gladiolus present a particular sizing challenge, since their height can push box dimensions well beyond what a compact bouquet of shorter blooms would need.Customization Options
Interior stem support, water-resistant lining, and box depth can all be built around a specific arrangement style, from a compact bouquet to a taller, fuller display arrangement. Standard exterior finishing includes foil stamping, embossing, debossing, spot UV, and matte, gloss, or soft touch lamination, and florists frequently favor a clean, elegant exterior that lets the flowers themselves remain the visual focus rather than competing with an elaborate box design. A window cutout is a popular addition, letting the arrangement be visible without opening the box.- Water-resistant or laminated interior lining for moisture management
- Stem support collars or foam bases to hold blooms upright
- Box depth built around the arrangement's full standing height
- Optional window cutout for arrangement visibility
- Foil stamping, embossing, debossing, and spot UV finishing
