Custom Gift Boxes: The Short Answer
Custom gift boxes are made-to-order printed boxes built to your dimensions, artwork, and closure style. Teal Packaging, a US-based packaging supplier, quotes them from 50 units (specialty rigid from 100) with volume pricing from $0.44 per unit, free dieline design, a digital proof before printing, and free US shipping. Production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval, with complex or high-volume orders taking longer, plus 2 to 5 business days for US delivery.
What Styles of Gift Boxes Can You Order?
Gift boxes fall into five working families: rigid set-up boxes, magnetic-closure boxes, drawer boxes, folding cartons, and corrugated gift mailers. Rigid formats carry the luxury end of gifting, folding cartons cover mid-range gift sets at a lower unit cost, and corrugated mailers protect gifts that ship straight to the recipient.
| Style | Construction | Best fit | Opening experience |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rigid set-up box | 1.5 to 2.5mm chipboard wrapped in printed paper | Jewelry, keepsakes, premium retail | Lift-off lid |
| Magnetic gift box | Rigid chipboard with concealed magnets | Corporate gifts, cosmetics, tech accessories | Magnetic front flap |
| Drawer box | Rigid or paperboard sleeve and tray | Candles, jewelry, small accessories | Slide-out tray |
| Folding carton | 14 to 18pt SBS or 300 to 400gsm kraft | Gift sets, boutique retail, seasonal lines | Tuck flap or two-piece lid |
| Corrugated gift mailer | E-flute or B-flute corrugated | Shipped gifts, subscription and welcome kits | Tuck-front mailer |
Tins, mylar pouches, and vinyl formats round out the range for small gifts where a box is not the right vessel. Every style prints in full color, and all of them start at the same 50-unit minimum except specialty rigid constructions, which start at 100.
Which Materials Work Best for Custom Gift Box Packaging?
Rigid chipboard for luxury weight, white SBS for print-heavy folding cartons, kraft for a natural handcrafted look, and corrugated board where the box has to survive shipping. Teal Packaging works with vetted production partners and specifies the board to the product each box will hold.
- Rigid chipboard, 1.5 to 2.5mm: the backbone of luxury gift boxes. Wrapped in printed paper, it holds its shape and gives the box a substantial feel in hand.
- White SBS, 14 to 18pt: clay-coated white board for premium folding carton gift boxes. Clean surface, vivid print, and flexible enough for tuck-end and two-piece formats.
- Kraft paperboard, 300 to 400gsm: natural, unbleached board for artisan gift brands. The organic look pairs well with minimal or vintage-inspired designs.
- Corrugated E-flute and B-flute: the protective choice for gift mailers and subscription-style boxes that ship without an outer carton.
- Tins, mylar, and vinyl: alternative formats for small-format and novelty gifting.
On sustainability: FSC-certified and recyclable options are available by specification, printing uses soy and water-based inks, and die-cut cardboard inserts can replace plastic trays for a plastic-free build.
How Do You Customize Gift Packaging?
Custom gift packaging covers everything the recipient sees and touches: the printed exterior, the closure, the interior, and the insert holding the product. Start with full-color print, then layer finishes and structural details to match the price point of what is inside.
- Foil stamping: gold, silver, rose gold, and copper foil for logos and accents. A high-contrast accent that suits jewelry and cosmetics gift packaging.
- Embossing and debossing: raised and recessed impressions that communicate quality through both sight and touch.
- Spot UV: selective high-gloss varnish over logos or design elements against a matte field for a sophisticated contrast.
- Soft-touch coating: a velvet-like surface that transforms the tactile experience of the box.
- Die-cut windows: a shaped glimpse of the product without opening the box.
- Magnetic closures: concealed magnets in the lid and base for a premium opening ritual.
- Custom inserts and interior printing: die-cut cardboard inserts hold the product at the right angle, and full-color interior print adds a second branded reveal.
Custom Gift Boxes for Her
Gift boxes for her usually mean jewelry, beauty, candle, and self-care formats: drawer boxes for bracelets and earrings, magnetic-closure boxes for birthday and bridesmaid-proposal sets, and rigid two-piece boxes for apparel, silk goods, and curated pamper kits. Teal prints all of these to order from 50 units, so a small gift line can launch without warehouse-scale inventory.
One build pairs soft-touch coating with rose gold or copper foil, an interior-printed lid, and a die-cut insert that presents the product the moment the box opens. The same formats work for brand campaigns around Mother's Day, Valentine's Day, and Christmas, where a dated or seasonal print run at the 50-unit minimum keeps leftover stock low.
What Sizes Do Custom Gift Boxes Come In?
Every box is cut to your dieline, so sizing is made to your product rather than a fixed range. Send your dimensions with your quote request and the free dieline design service will build to them.
Briefs run from small jewelry and accessory boxes through to apparel, homeware, and multi-item corporate gift boxes, plus flat presentation formats for sets that need to sit side by side. What matters at quote stage is the product itself: give the dimensions of what goes inside, the weight, whether an insert is needed, and the closure style you want, and the dieline is drawn around that. Two rounds of revisions are included, and nothing prints until you approve the digital proof.
What Do Custom Gift Boxes Cost?
Volume pricing starts at $0.44 per unit, with the final rate set by size, board, finishes, and quantity. Minimums start at 50 units for most styles and 100 units for specialty rigid constructions, so short seasonal runs are practical.
Every order includes free dieline design, two rounds of revisions, a digital proof before anything prints, and free US shipping. Production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval, with complex or high-volume orders taking longer, and US delivery adds 2 to 5 business days with express and economy options. To check print and board quality first, order the free sample kit: you pay $19.99 shipping, and that charge is credited to your first custom order.

Beyond the Box: Gifting Programs and Fulfillment
A gift box rarely ships empty. If you are building influencer or press mailers, custom PR boxes pair unboxing-first structures with insert cards, and for employee and client gifting at scale, the corporate gifting and company swag kits pages cover curated multi-item programs. Still comparing suppliers? The custom gift box manufacturers guide explains what to evaluate before you commit.
Teal also handles what happens after printing. Gift and corporate kitting covers assembly of multi-item sets, and ship-to-recipient fulfillment stores your inventory and pick-packs finished gifts to individual addresses. Kitting, assembly, pick-pack and shipping all run from West Chicago, Illinois. Teal supplies the packaging and runs the fulfillment, so one vendor covers both, which removes a handoff from every gifting campaign.
Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Gift Boxes
What is the difference between a rigid gift box and a folding carton gift box?
A rigid (set-up) box is built from 1.5 to 2.5mm chipboard wrapped in printed paper, holds its shape, and feels substantial in hand. A folding carton is made from SBS or kraft paperboard, ships flat, and is assembled before packing. Rigid construction suits luxury gifting, while folding cartons are the cost-efficient choice for mid-range gift sets.
What is the minimum order for custom gift boxes?
Most custom gift boxes start at 50 units, and specialty rigid constructions start at 100. Volume pricing runs from $0.44 per unit, and every order includes free dieline design and free US shipping.
How long does it take to get custom gift boxes?
Production runs from about 7 business days after you approve the digital proof, with complex or high-volume orders taking longer. US delivery adds 2 to 5 business days, with express and economy options. For peak seasons such as Christmas, Valentine's Day, and Mother's Day, place the order well ahead of the date you need boxes in hand.
What size will my gift boxes be?
Every box is cut to your dieline, so sizing is made to your product rather than a fixed range. Send your dimensions with your quote request and the free dieline design service will build to them, then the digital proof shows the result before anything prints.
Can I get gift boxes with a magnetic closure?
Yes. Concealed magnets embedded in the lid and base create a secure, satisfying close. It suits jewelry, cosmetics, tech accessories, and corporate gift boxes where the opening experience is part of the brand moment.
Can I order custom inserts and interior printing?
Yes. Cardboard inserts are die-cut to hold your specific product securely and present it at the correct angle when the box opens, and interior printing turns the inside of the lid into a second branded reveal. Both are quoted alongside the box and produced in the same order.
How can I check quality before placing a full order?
Order the free sample kit. You pay $19.99 shipping, and that charge is credited to your first custom order. Before production you also receive a digital proof with two rounds of revisions, so nothing prints until you have approved it.
