What Is a Tray and Lid Box?
Tray and lid boxes are a two-piece packaging solution consisting of a tray and a lid. The tray serves as the base that holds the product, while the lid acts as a protective cover, securely enclosing the contents. This type of box is commonly used for items that require both stability and an attractive presentation.

What Our Customers Say
Real stories from customers who worked with us to create custom packaging they’re proud of.
I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with QinPrinting. From start to finish, their team was responsive, professional, and truly invested in helping me bring my vision to life. I printed my first edition of a 58-card deck (complete with a custom magnetic box) and the results were stunning.
The color accuracy, matte finish, and premium cardstock all exceeded my expectations. Every detail shows real craftsmanship. The communication was outstanding too; they provided clear updates, design templates, and guidance at every stage.
What impressed me most was how personal the process felt. Even though they’re a large-scale printer, they treated my small-batch creative project with care and respect.
If you’re looking for a reliable, high-quality printer for custom card decks, packaging, or creative projects, I can’t recommend QinPrinting enough. I’ll absolutely be printing with them again for my next production run!
Susan!!!! These books are SOOOOOOO beautiful! I don't think we could have dreamed how joyful it would be to open the box and find such care for and beautifully printed books. This was a special day -- we hope to have many more like it.
Thank you for fielding so many questions. Your patience with us (well, me) was so kind. You and your team have gone above and beyond for us.
Gratefully,
MAC
Most of all, we are so grateful for Nelson’s support throughout the entire process. He was consistently helpful, communicative, and detail-oriented — truly a pleasure to work with. Every step was made easier thanks to his guidance and care. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience!
Highly recommend both the product and working with Nelson. We’ll definitely be back for future projects.
A special thanks to Nelson, who went above and beyond by sending us videos of the printed books and samples before shipping to ensure everything was perfect. His attention to detail and dedication gave us great peace of mind.
We had a children’s book printed and the final product was absolutely beautiful. The print quality, vibrant colors, sturdy binding, and professional packaging exceeded our expectations. Delivery was timely and the pricing was very competitive, especially for the high level of quality and service we received.
We were so impressed that we didn’t hesitate to place a second order with them and once again, everything was flawless.
If you're looking for a reliable, high quality, and customer focused printing company, QinPrinting is the one to go with. Highly recommended!
