Christmas Gift Boxes

Custom Christmas gift boxes are printed holiday boxes for retail gift sets, corporate presents and seasonal collections, and TBPB makes them to your size with no minimum order. We beat any written quote for the same specs.

Pick the structure for the gift

A lid-and-base rigid box suits premium sets such as candles, fragrance and skincare. A folding carton with a tuck or a magnetic closure suits lighter retail items. A shallow tray with a window works for cookies, tea and small hampers. Fragile decorations need a box with dividers or a fitted insert, and a drawer style helps when the reveal matters. Tell us the contents and how many pieces are inside and we will recommend a build.

Print and finish for a holiday look

Traditional red and green print well in CMYK, but a Pantone match keeps the shade consistent when you reprint. Gold or silver foil on a pattern or a word is the classic seasonal finish, and it works best in small amounts. Matte coating gives a modern look. A glossy, deep red box photographs well for catalogs. Kraft board with a one-color print gives a plain, natural feel that suits food gifts and eco-minded brands, and printing a white underlay lifts the colors on kraft.

Food gifts and regulatory copy

If the box holds food, cosmetics or candles with specific labeling rules, you are responsible for the copy on the pack and for confirming material needs with your own regulatory adviser. We print supplied artwork and do not certify contact-material suitability. Use a liner, a bag or a tray inside for anything oily or crumbly.

Sizing, nesting and shipping

Measure the gift and add about an eighth of an inch of clearance per side, more if you plan to add tissue. If you offer several sizes, consider nesting boxes that fit inside each other, which saves storage and makes a bundled gift look planned. Rigid boxes should travel inside a corrugated shipper, because the lid and edges dent in a bare courier bag. Folding cartons ship flat and cost less to store before the season.

Building a seasonal range

A range works best when sizes, print and ribbon all match. For ornaments and decorations, ornament boxes have the right depth and dividers. For employee and client gifts, corporate gift boxes can carry a logo. If you want a sliding reveal, the custom drawer box style suits a gift card or a small keepsake. The wider custom gift boxes category shows more styles.

Keep the artwork flexible if you plan to reuse the box. A pattern without a year can run again next season, and a simple band or sleeve can carry the year or a message, which you can reprint cheaply. Because TBPB has no minimum order, you can order a small batch first, see how it sells, and reorder in the quantity that suits.

Approve the proof carefully. Check that the fold lines do not cut through a logo and that the lid artwork reads the right way up when it opens.
