Die Cut Gift Boxes are custom-printed paperboard cartons built for retailers and brands packaging presents, holiday sets, and giftable products. The die-cut shape and full-color print arrive as one finished box, ready to fold and fill.
A tailored cut lets the box hug the gift inside, so contents stay snug without loose filler, and a refined printed finish makes the unboxing feel intentional. A boutique gift shop can run one die for chocolates, candles, and bath sets, then swap artwork for each season.

Shaped Gift Box Runs and Tooling Choices
Cut outs can replace expensive finishing. A window shape, a scalloped lid edge, or a keyhole reveal gives visual interest from the same die that cuts the blank, which is cheaper per piece than foil or embossing. Keep cut outs away from fold lines and glue tabs, because material removed near a score weakens the whole panel.
