Top-and-bottom boxes are one of the most used gift boxes—simple structure and budget-friendly. But not all top-and-bottom boxes are cheap: those with inner strips cost more. Let’s compare the two types to help you decide.​

1. Full Cover Top-and-Bottom Box: Budget-Friendly Choice​

• Pros: Low price is its biggest advantage. It has only two parts (top and bottom) and is fully machine-made, no extra manual work. Saves 1-2 yuan per box in labor costs (vs. inner strip type). Lightweight, easy to open/close, and cost-effective for bulk orders.​
• Cons: Simple appearance, no layering.​
• Best for: Daily gifts, food packaging, accessories—scenarios where practicality matters more than high-end looks.​

2. Inner Strip Top-and-Bottom Box: Premium & Stylish​

• Pros: Elegant look with strong layering. The inner strip makes the box tighter and more high-end, perfect for upgrading gift quality.​
• Cons: Higher price. The inner strip needs manual gluing, which increases labor and material costs.​
• Best for: High-end gifts, luxury packaging, holiday limited boxes—scenarios where appearance and texture are key.​

How to Choose?​

Pick Full Cover if you want to save money and value practicality.​

Pick Inner Strip if you pursue a premium, stylish look.​
