Gift Boxes

Magnetic Gift Boxes

Magnetic Gift boxes are a rigid-style flat folding box that pops open on the sides as you fold the box to close. There is a magnetic closure inside the box walls that magnetically snap the lid and bottom flaps together to close the box for easy assembly. For easy storage, the boxes can be disassembled back to the flat position by pulling on the ribbon inside the box and extending the box back to its flat position. They are available in Red, Black, or White, in either Gloss or Embossed Matte finish, or Natural Kraft. Customers use these boxes for gifts, promotional mailers, product and gift kits, invitation boxes, or jewelry boxes.

Top Tuck Folding 1 Piece Gift Boxes
 

Top Tuck Folding 1 Piece Boxes have glued bottom construction and pop open for assembly with the lid tucking into the top opening. Coatings for the boxes can either be a gloss coat on white paperboard base boxes or a matte coating on natural kraft paperboard. They are often used to package candles and soap, figurines, lightweight gifts and clothing, and nonbreakable or general gifts. Tissue or basket shreds can be used to fill the boxes for extra support for your items. This style is the most popular box used in retail and gift giving due to it storing flat and easy assembly. Using colored boxes can eliminate the need for wrapping paper and can cut costs and time for merchants who offer gift-wrapping services for their products. Many manufacturers make these boxes in several colors and sizes on either white or natural kraft paperboard. Folding boxes are made for the retail gift industry and are typically produced in the U.S.A. In recent years, these boxes have been transformed and produced with environmentally friendly materials such as recycled paperboard and water-based Eco-friendly inks for colors.

Lock Corner Boxes

Folding Two Piece Lock Corner Boxes are made in two identical pieces, with the top of the box fully fitting over the bottom box, also known as full telescoping. Because of the full telescope of the boxes, they are sturdy, hold more firmly together than the one-piece top tuck box, and are used more for glassware and heavier or fragile gifts. They are environmentally friendly and made with recycled post-consumer materials and water-based eco-friendly inks for colors. Coatings for the boxes can either be in a gloss finish, coated on white paperboard base boxes or matte, for coating on natural kraft paperboard. Retailers can use these boxes as product packaging where the item is sold within the box. They can also use the boxes for a behind-the-counter gift-wrapping service box. These boxes are available in small amounts in a wide range of colors to compliment branding or event colors. These boxes are rare to find stocked in the U.S.A.; however, in the last year, another American Manufacturer has added this type of box to their product line, and they appear to be growing in popularity.

Rigid Gift Boxes or Set Up Boxes

Rigid Gift Boxes or Set Up Boxes are made of rigid chipboard and are typically pre-formed with a colorful or designed paper wrapped and glued to the box.   They have a separate lid and base and are sometimes called "set up boxes because they are already formed or "set up." Chipboard thicknesses can vary depending on the manufacturer and the size of the box and lid.  These boxes are typically used in retail displays, upscale, and keepsake-type gifts. Most rigid set-up boxes in larger sizes or nested sets are now made overseas due to the cost and complexity of manufacturing. Only a few manufacturers in the U.S.A. still produce the boxes, and typically, a custom order of these must have a minimum of about 1,000 boxes to be cost-effective. However, rigid set-up jewelry boxes are still widely produced across the U.S.A. Typically, for custom-made boxes, you determine the size of the box and then pick from a selection of gift papers that the manufacturer has available to cover the boxes.

Gable Boxes

Gable Boxes feature a handle attached to the top of a gift box to carry the box easily.  The box is usually square or rectangular and tapers inward at the top, coming together to close the handles and lock them in place. Made of typical gift box paperboard ranging in thickness and offered in a range of sizes, they are mostly used for corporate giveaways, disposable lunch boxes, and party favors. Gable boxes have become more common in recent years, finding more uses with consumers, gift retailers, and the food service industry. Many U.S. manufacturers produce these boxes in a range of sizes and colors and are typically made with environmentally friendly recycled materials and water-based inks. They can be produced at low minimums for custom colors or logo printing.

Nested Boxes

Nested Boxes are made of rigid chipboard and are a rigid set up style box with a paper wrap glued and formed to the lid and base. Often called stacking boxes, they offer two or more boxes that are able to stack from large to small and they all fit with the larger box for easier storage when not in use.   These boxes are used for retail displays and gift sets. Both square and round nested boxes are mainly produced overseas and are imported into the U.S. due to the cost of manufacturing.  These boxes are popular, especially during the Christmas holiday season, but are offered in a wide range of everyday designs.  Gift retailers and gourmet food vendors often use them to package a set of related products to up-sell at a larger purchase price. One of our customers uses these to feature 4 flavors of cookies as a set.
