Custom Kraft Gift Boxes That Make Every Occasion Memorable
Custom kraft gift boxes have become the preferred packaging choice for brands that want their gifting experience to feel both premium and thoughtful. The natural warmth of kraft paperboard, paired with precise custom printing, creates a presentation that stands out in a sea of generic white and glossy packaging. At Teal Packaging, we produce personalized kraft gift packaging starting at just 50 units, with free design support, a two-week lead time, and free shipping to the US, Canada, UK, and Australia. Whether you are a brand building a gifting product line, a retailer ordering seasonal gift packaging, or a business preparing corporate gift boxes, Teal Packaging delivers professional results from the first order.
Gift packaging is not just a box. It is the first physical experience a recipient has with your brand or your gesture. The feel of the paper, the weight of the lid, the way your logo sits on the surface: every detail communicates value before the contents are revealed. Kraft gift boxes deliver all of that without the environmental cost of plastic-coated or foil-heavy alternatives.
Materials and Board Specifications
Our custom kraft gift boxes are produced using FSC-certified kraft paperboard in weights selected to deliver the right combination of structural rigidity and surface quality for gifting applications:
- 300 gsm kraft board: The standard weight for folding-carton gift boxes. Clean fold lines and reliable closure performance. Ideal for light to medium weight gift items including apparel, small accessories, cosmetics, and candles.
- 350 gsm kraft board: Recommended for larger gift boxes, multi-item sets, and heavier products. The additional board weight gives the box a satisfying rigidity that communicates quality when the recipient picks it up.
- 400 gsm kraft board: Premium-weight option used for luxury gift boxes where the thickness of the board itself is part of the experience. Common for jewelry, high-end cosmetics, and corporate gifting programs.
- Rigid setup box construction: For the highest level of gifting presentation, we offer a rigid kraft-wrapped setup box format where a greyboard core is wrapped in kraft paper. This creates a completely rigid, non-collapsible box structure with a separate lid that lifts off cleanly.
All constructions are printed using soy-based inks. Finishing options include matte lamination, gloss lamination, soft-touch coating, foil stamping in gold or silver, embossing, and spot UV for selective shine on logos and design elements.
Customization Options
Every element of your personalized kraft gift box is configurable to reflect your brand and the occasion the box is designed for:
- Box format: Two-piece lid and base, single-piece folding carton with tuck closure, magnetic closure book-style box, rigid setup box with separate lid, and belly-band sleeve configurations.
- Printing: Full-color CMYK on all exterior surfaces. Pantone matching for precise brand color reproduction across long runs and reorders.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, rose gold, and specialty foil options on logos, decorative borders, and key design elements for premium gifting presentation.
- Embossing and debossing: Raised or recessed logo and pattern effects that add tactile dimension to the box surface.
- Ribbon slots and handles: Integrated ribbon channels or die-cut handle slots for ready-to-give presentation without additional wrapping.
- Custom inserts: Molded pulp, die-cut kraft, or foam inserts to hold gift items securely and present them at the right position when the lid is opened.

Sustainability
Gift packaging has historically involved a significant amount of single-use material.
Our custom kraft gift boxes take a different approach:
- FSC-certified materials: Every board we use carries FSC chain-of-custody certification, verifying that raw materials come from sustainably managed sources.
- Soy-based inks: Used across all print runs for lower emissions during production and better recyclability at end of product life.
- Recyclable and reusable: Kraft gift boxes are accepted in cardboard recycling programs in most markets. Their natural aesthetic also makes them attractive enough that many recipients reuse them rather than disposing of them immediately.
- No plastic required: Unlike gift sets with plastic windows, molded plastic inserts, and blister packs, our kraft gift boxes use paper-based materials throughout. Optional PET windows can be specified where product visibility is needed, but are not required.
Brands that include sustainability credentials in their marketing find that kraft packaging reinforces those claims more credibly than any other substrate. It looks eco-friendly because it is eco-friendly.
