Custom gift boxes are printed boxes made to present a product as a gift: lidded boxes, magnetic closure boxes, favor boxes, gift card boxes, and seasonal styles for weddings, holidays, and corporate gifting. Boutiques, event planners, and brands order here because there is no minimum order, so a wedding favor run of fifty and a single prototype are both normal orders. Bring a written quote for the same specs and the price-beat guarantee means TBPB beats it. Popular choices are magnetic closure gift boxes, luxury gift boxes, and gift card boxes. Corporate buyers usually start with corporate gift boxes.
A gift box is mostly about the moment the lid comes off, so choose the closure before the artwork. A lid-and-base box lifts off cleanly and is the classic wedding and holiday format. Magnetic closure gift boxes have a hinged lid with a magnet, which closes with a satisfying click and is a good fit for jewelry, premium beauty sets, and corporate gifts where the unboxing is part of the value. The magnet adds weight and cost, so it makes more sense when the gift itself is worth more than the box.
For small items, gift card boxes and party favor boxes are sized to hold a card or a handful of treats, and they ship flat to keep storage easy. Seasonal styles like Christmas gift boxes are worth ordering earlier than you think, because the design needs approval before the printing even starts.
Gift boxes carry more than the product. Tissue paper, shredded paper, a card, and a ribbon all take space. Measure the product, then add room for whatever goes in with it. A common mistake is to size the box exactly to the product, then discover that a layer of tissue stops the lid from closing. If the gift will be shipped, plan for protection, because a gift box is a presentation piece and not a shipping carton. Put it inside a mailer or a shipper, and the unboxing still lands.
Gift boxes are made in both folding paperboard and rigid board. Folding styles are lighter, ship flat, and cost less, which matters when you are ordering hundreds for an event. Rigid boxes feel more substantial in the hand and keep their shape under stacking, but they ship assembled and take more storage space. Finishing choices follow the occasion: a matte paper with a single foil logo suits corporate gifts, while a soft-touch wrap with embossing suits a premium retail gift. Avoid too many effects on a small box, since foil, embossing, and spot gloss compete for attention.
If the gift needs a stiff, heirloom feel, go to rigid boxes, which include lid-and-base and book-style builds. If the gift ships directly to the recipient, put it in mailer boxes so it arrives presentable.
Send the gift's length, width, and height, plus any extras that go in the box, and the quantity you want. One is fine. We build the dieline from your measurements, you add artwork, and you approve the proof before anything prints.
No. You can order one gift box or ten thousand. That helps with wedding favors, corporate gifts, and seasonal runs of any size. The price-beat guarantee applies at any quantity: bring a written quote for the same specifications.
A lid-and-base box has a separate lid that lifts off. A magnetic closure box has a hinged lid with a magnet that holds it shut. Magnetic boxes feel more premium and keep items secure, while lid-and-base boxes are simpler and usually lighter.
Start the design well before the season. Artwork needs approval and any change adds delay. Order a single box first to check fit and color, then place the full run once you are satisfied with the sample.
You can add either after the box arrives. Allow extra space inside for tissue, since it adds thickness and stops the lid from closing flat. Tell us what goes in the box so we size it with room to spare.
Not by themselves. A gift box is a presentation piece, and parcel handling will dent corners and crush lids. Put it inside a mailer or shipping carton so it arrives intact and the unboxing still feels intentional.
Ask us. Variable artwork depends on how the order is set up. Send the number of designs and the quantity of each, and we confirm what can be done before you commit to a quantity.
