Custom Gift Boxes for Every Occasion
A great gift deserves great packaging. Custom gift boxes transform ordinary presents into memorable experiences, whether you are packaging corporate gifts, holiday sets, wedding favors, or luxury product bundles. Teal Packaging designs and manufactures gift boxes that are as special as what goes inside them.
We produce gift boxes in every style: rigid setup boxes with magnetic closures, two-piece lid-and-base boxes, drawer-style pull-out boxes, book-style boxes with ribbon closures, and collapsible gift boxes that ship flat and pop into shape. Materials range from 350gsm folding cartons to 1200gsm+ rigid board wrapped in specialty paper, fabric, or leatherette.
Popular Gift Box Styles
- Magnetic Closure Boxes: The gold standard for luxury gifting. A hidden magnet in the flap creates a satisfying snap closure.
- Lid and Base Boxes: Classic two-piece design. Available with or without a neck (shoulder) for a snug fit.
- Window Gift Boxes: Clear window panels let recipients peek at the contents. Popular for gourmet food gifts and beauty sets.
- Drawer Boxes: Pull-out tray design that adds a sense of discovery to the unboxing.
- Collapsible/Foldable: Rigid boxes that fold flat for efficient storage and ship assembled in seconds.
Custom Finishes for Gift Packaging
Gift boxes live or die on their finish. We offer foil stamping (gold, silver, rose gold, copper), embossing and debossing, soft-touch matte lamination, gloss lamination, spot UV coating, ribbon and bow attachments, custom tissue paper inserts, and printed belly bands. Combine multiple finishes for a truly premium presentation.
Who Orders Custom Gift Boxes
Corporate gifting companies sending branded holiday packages, luxury brands packaging perfume or jewelry, wineries and distilleries boxing gift sets, gourmet food companies creating curated hampers, beauty brands bundling skincare sets, and event planners packaging wedding favors, party gifts, and promotional items.
Inserts and Accessories
We manufacture custom inserts to hold your products securely: die-cut cardboard, foam, satin-lined trays, and corrugated dividers. Add crinkle-cut paper fill, tissue paper with your logo, thank-you cards, or ribbon for a complete gifting experience. Pair with our custom retail bags for a full presentation package.
