The Best Price Boxes makes custom hexagon boxes with no minimum order, and we beat any written quote for the same specs. A hexagon box is a six-sided rigid box, usually with a lift-off lid, built to hold gifts, candles, cosmetics or small products in a shape that stands apart from the usual square carton.

Why a hexagon costs more thought than a square box
Six sides means six panels, six corners and a lid that has to line up with the base on every one of them. A square rigid box forgives a millimeter of drift. A hexagon does not, because the gap shows on every seam. That is why the structure and the wrap are worth reviewing on a sample before you commit to a run.
The upside is shelf and unboxing presence. A hexagon reads as a deliberate design choice, which is why you see it on candles, tea, jewelry and holiday gifting.
What fits well in a hexagon
Round or roughly round products sit best: candles, jars, tins, bath bombs, a stack of macarons, a perfume bottle. The six-sided footprint wastes less space around a round item than a square box does. Long, flat products such as a book or a cable kit are a poor fit, and a standard rigid box will serve them better.
If you are choosing between a hexagon and a conventional gift box, think about shipping. The shape does not stack or pack into a shipper as tightly as a rectangle, so plan an outer carton. See our gift boxes for easier-to-pack forms.
How to size a hexagon box
Hexagons are measured by the distance across two opposite flat sides and by height, not by length and width. Measure your product at its widest point, add clearance for the insert and the paper wrap, and send us the across-flats width and the height. If the product is round, the diameter at its widest point is the number we need. A dieline follows, so you see every panel before production.
Finishes and inserts
Rigid boxes can take matte or gloss lamination, and options such as foil, embossing or a soft-touch feel exist for many structures. Availability depends on the spec, so ask us to confirm what works for your hexagon before you design around it. Our embossing and debossing guide shows what those effects look like. For an inside that holds the product still, see packaging inserts.
How to order
Send the product, its widest measurement, its height and your quantity through the quote form. Even a single box is fine. If you hold a written quote for the same specs elsewhere, attach it and we will beat it. Free design help and free samples are part of how we work.
Questions buyers ask
Is there a minimum order for hexagon boxes?
No. We make custom hexagon boxes with no minimum order, so one sample box is a valid order. That lets you check the fit and the lid before you commit to more.
Can you make octagon boxes too?
Multi-sided forms beyond six sides are possible on rigid structures. Ask us to confirm the exact shape and size for your product, since tooling and the lid fit change with each form.
How do I measure for a hexagon box?
Measure across two opposite flat sides at the widest point of the product, then measure its height. Send those two numbers, or the diameter if the product is round, and we calculate the interior and the lid.
Does a hexagon box ship well?
It looks good but packs less efficiently than a rectangle, so use an outer shipper carton. The hexagon is the presentation layer, and the shipper takes the abuse.
