Rissmann introduced Kappa, a luxury gift box that uses a patented magnetic-free Slide & Click-style mechanism, presented at Paris Packaging Week. Made solely from FSC-certified paperboard and paper, the collapsible design delivers a tactile, refined click while functioning without metal or magnets.
The Kappa box features a flat, classic profile that quickly folds into a rigid container and can be secured with an adhesive tape or left foldable for reuse. Custom cardboard inserts are available to hold single or multiple SKUs and the construction is optimized for flat delivery and efficient inventory flow.
For brands and consumers, Kappa combines perceived premium quality with sustainability and practical logistics: it protects products, reduces magnetic waste, and supports reuse and easier shipping. The design aligns with demand for high-end packaging that prioritizes material stewardship and tactile experience.
