An explosion box is a gift that performs. Lift the lid and the four walls fall open at once to reveal layers of photos, messages, and small treats inside, which is why it has become a favorite handmade gift for anniversaries, birthdays, and memory keepsakes. It is equal parts box and surprise, and the fun is entirely in the reveal that a normal box never gives.
We build explosion boxes as sturdy square rigid and folding styles in kraft, white, and full color, single and multi layer, sized for photos, notes, and small gifts, with a lid that sits on top and lifts clean. Print the panels for a theme, add layers for more surprise, and finish with foil or a ribbon on the lid. It suits crafters, gift shops, and anyone selling or making memory and occasion gifts.
No minimum order lets a crafter or a shop order explosion boxes without a bulk run. Tell us the size, how many layers you want, and the theme and we will spec a box that falls open on cue and holds the surprise.
A gift that performs
How does an explosion box work?
When you lift the lid, the four walls fall open at once to reveal layers of photos, messages, and small treats inside. The reveal is the whole point, which a normal box does not give.
Can it have multiple layers?
Yes, single and multi layer versions are available, and more layers mean more surprise inside. Tell us how much you want to reveal and we will build the layers.
What do people put inside?
Photos, handwritten notes, and small gifts or treats, for anniversaries, birthdays, and memory keepsakes. The panels print for a theme and the lid can be finished with foil or a ribbon.
Is there a minimum order?
No minimum, so a crafter or gift shop can order explosion boxes without a bulk run.
