In 2026, wholesale buyers face three converging pressures: rising greyboard costs, EU PPWR recyclability mandates, and consumer-grade magnet performance expectations. This guide delivers the structural specs, magnet science, and sourcing economics needed to order correctly the first time.<\/p>\n<h2 style='color:#0f172a; margin-top:36px; margin-bottom:16px; font-size:1.5rem; border-bottom:1px solid #e2e8f0; padding-bottom:8px;'>Structural Specifications: What Defines a Quality Magnetic Rigid Box<\/h2>\n<p style=\"margin:16px 0; line-height:1.8; color:#334155; font-size:1.02rem;\">A wholesale magnetic closure box consists of three engineered layers:<\/p>\n<ol style=\"margin:16px 0; padding-left:24px; line-height:1.75; color:#334155;\">\n<li style=\"margin-bottom:8px;\"><strong style='color:#0f172a;'>Greyboard substrate<\/strong>: 1200-1600 GSM (2.0-2.8mm thickness) for lids; 1000-1400 GSM for base trays.
