Boxes that are sturdy and made from more than thin materials like papers are rigid boxes. They are ideal for the decorative packaging and gifting industry because they offer excellent support and protection for the products they contain. These paper coated boxes comes in the color or the print of your choice and in the size you want.
The answer to this question is simple. It is the glue that is the culprit here. It may surprise you to learn that over 90% of manufacturers use gelatin glue in their gift boxes. People commonly refer to this as animal glue. Manufacturers extract this glue from animal body parts, and it gives off an awful smell in its native form. To counter that, manufacturers add a lot of industrial scents to the mix, resulting in a cheap scented glue ready for production lines.
Perfect alternatives to animal glue are rare to come by. Some glues require a very thick coat to make them stick or some open-up in heat. But the most common issue is that of warping. The closest alternative glue warps the sides of the gift boxes as soon as someone pastes paper onto them. Buyers do not prefer this, so the companies don’t use it.

If you have never discussed this with your supplier, you probably are using the boxes made of animal glue only as that is the industry practice. Believe it or not but even the sweet boxes that you get at 100% vegetarian food shops also use boxes made of animal glue.
And if you really wish to test it out, the easiest is to smell the box. If it smells bad or if it smells like scented, then the glue is most certainly animal glue. Synthetic glues have more of an organic smell very close to that of your children’s school project made with cardboard and white Fevicol.
