Consumer gift boxes are made for products that sell as gifts right off the shelf, so the box has to protect the item and close the sale at the same time. These are retail ready gift boxes for candles, cosmetics, gourmet food, and small electronics, built so a shopper can pick one up and give it without extra wrapping. We make them as folding cartons for value lines, rigid boxes for a premium feel, and window boxes that show the product, in the size that fits your item. Print full color with your branding, add foil or gloss on the logo, and drop in an insert so the product sits neat when the box is opened. Kraft or white stock, whichever matches your brand. There is no minimum, so a growing brand can package a new product without overcommitting. Send your product dimensions and we will build the fit.

Retail gift box specification
A retail gift box has to protect the item and close the sale at the same time, and it is judged on a shelf next to competitors doing the same thing.
| Sizing | Built to the product with clearance for any insert. Send the product dimensions and whether it ships to store already boxed. |
|---|---|
| Formats | Rigid for a premium feel, folding carton with a good finish for volume, window boxes where the product does the selling. |
| Window | Worth it for candles, cosmetics and gourmet food, where buyers want to see color and detail before buying. Less useful where the branding sells better than the product does. |
| Insert | Holds the item square and presents it when the lid comes off. For glass and ceramics it is also what prevents breakage in transit to store. |
| Finishes | Foil, soft touch and spot UV. Shelf lighting is harsh, so a finish that catches light does real work here. |
| Barcodes | Send your barcode and any retailer-required marks with the artwork so they are designed in rather than stickered on later. |
| Minimum order | None. Order the quantity you can actually move. If you are holding a written quote from someone else, send it over and we will work to beat it. |
| Production time | Standard runs are 7 to 14 business days. Print method and finishing move that. |
| Proof and samples | Free design and a free digital proof before anything prints. Samples on request. |
| Shipping | Free, with tracking. |
What to send us for a quote
Three things get you a real number rather than a range:
- Product dimensions and weight.
- Which retailer, if any. They often have pack specs.
- Artwork and barcode. Design is free.
