Slipcases, Box Sets & Educational Kits
The publishing industry has evolved beyond just single books. The growth is in Box Sets, Educational Kits, and Subscription Collections. Rice Packaging acts as a structural architect for these complex projects. We design rigid, durable slipcases and cartons that hold multiple books or mixed-media items securely.
Structural Capabilities:
-
Slipcases: High-caliper board structures designed to house book series. We ensure tight tolerances so the books slide in smoothly but stay secure.
-
Kit Boxes: For educational curriculums that include workbooks, flashcards, and manipulatives. We design internal cells and partitions to keep these components organized.
-
Software & Media Packaging: Wallets and mailers for USB drives, SD cards, or legacy media, often integrated into a book or binder format.
Durability for Distribution
Books are heavy. A 5-book set can weigh over 10 lbs. We reinforce our publishing packaging with double-wall structures and laminated liners to ensure the corners don’t crush during the journey from our CT facility to Amazon or Barnes & Noble distribution centers.
Yes. Send us the physical books. Our structural design team will measure the total spine width (allowing for manufacturing variances) and create a white sample prototype of the slipcase or box for you to test before we print.
Yes. Matte finishes on book boxes can easily show scuff marks during shipping. We recommend Scuff-Free Matte Lamination, which protects the dark ink coverage and maintains a premium look even after handling.
Yes. We offer full fulfillment services. We can take your books, manufacture the slipcase, insert the books, shrink-wrap the set, and label it for inventory—delivering a finished SKU to your warehouse.
