Why not use a fancy rigid box instead of a corrugated one when shipping this product?
To begin with, our corrugated box is of excellent quality and has numerous artworks on it. Therefore, it doesn't appear any less elegant.
Our goal is packaging that is as environmentally friendly as it can be.
We do not like to utilise rigid boxes because they require more paper and a lot of chemicals to manufacture.
There is always a more environmentally friendly choice available: corrugated.
