Custom Gift Packaging

Seasonal, signature, and corporate gift packaging.

A custom gift box turns the act of giving into a moment. We produce seasonal collections, corporate hampers, wedding favors and direct-to-consumer gift packaging. Gift buyers face three recurring problems: finding a box that photographs as well as it unboxes, keeping the cost of premium presentation reasonable for seasonal promotions, and sourcing low-volume runs that do not force overstock. Typical order sizes range from 50 to 300 units for weddings and corporate events, and from 1,000 to 5,000 units for seasonal retail collections. Lead times are 10–15 working days from sample approval, with a four-week buffer advised for holiday peaks. Common buyer pain points include mismatched sample-to-production color, weak magnetic closures that fail in transit, and generic inserts that cannot hold irregularly shaped items. We address these by providing physical pre-production samples, using reinforced double-magnetic closures where needed, and engineering custom inner trays that cradle each specific product. Whether your program is a 50-piece wedding favor run or a 10,000-piece quarterly corporate gifting program, we build rigid gift boxes, magnetic-close presentation boxes, removable-tray hampers and luxury paper bags with finishes ranging from foil stamping and embossing to soft-touch lamination and spot UV.

Frequently asked

Questions about gift packaging.

Yes — from 50 units.

Variable-data printing lets us print individual names on each box in batches from 50 units. Perfect for weddings and corporate gifting.

10–15 working days from sample approval.

Standard lead time is 10–15 working days after sample sign-off. Holiday orders (October–December) should allow a four-week buffer to accommodate paper shortages and factory capacity peaks. Rush production is available at a 30% premium for 10-day lead times on orders under 2,000 units.

Yes — custom die-cut inserts.

Every tray is engineered to your specific product. We produce die-cut paperboard, corrugated and foam inserts with cutouts shaped to hold bottles, jars, cards, candles and irregularly shaped keepsakes. A standard dieline proof is provided within two business days.

50 units.

Our standard MOQ is 50 units per SKU. At 50 units we use digital printing, which avoids plate setup costs and lets you test a seasonal concept without committing to volume. From 500 units, offset printing becomes more economical per unit.

Yes — EVA foam, card dividers.

Multi-item gift sets and hampers need a custom insert to hold items in place during shipping and presentation. We make custom EVA foam inserts, card dividers, and blister or pulp inserts for eco-positioned gifts.

Yes — both.

The greyboard core is recyclable in standard paper streams. Ribbons, magnets, and fabric inlays should be removed for cleanest recycling. Many customers reuse gift boxes as keepsake storage.
