Wholesale Gift Boxes
Wholesale custom gift boxes for retail, weddings and corporate gifting — rigid lid-and-base boxes, magnetic one-piece folding boxes, sliding drawer boxes and clear-window presentation boxes. Custom sizes, foil stamping and full-color print, flat-packed or pre-assembled; worldwide shipping with FOB, CIF or DDP terms.
Wholesale custom gift boxes in rigid lid-and-base, drawer, book-style magnetic and window formats. These are sturdy set-up boxes built from greyboard wrapped in printed or specialty paper, used by jewelry, cosmetics, food gifting and corporate brands.
Boxes can be branded with foil stamping, spot UV, embossing and full-colour print, and are shipped flat or assembled depending on the format.
Rigid box formats compared
| Format | How it opens | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Lid-and-base (two-piece) | Lift-off lid | Jewelry, candles, cosmetics |
| Drawer box | Slide-out tray | Tea, chocolate, curated gift sets |
| Book-style magnetic | Hinged lid with magnet | Premium electronics, corporate gifts |
| Window box | Clear window panel | Bakery, retail display, favours |
| Folding drawer (kraft) | Flat-pack, folds on receipt | High-volume, freight-sensitive orders |
Most formats are available in kraft, white card and specialty finishes; options vary by SKU.
Wholesale programs usually start from one of four formats: lid-and-base set-up boxes, drawer box packaging where a tray slides out of a sleeve, book-style magnetic boxes that close on a hidden clasp, and windowed boxes for display. Buyers ordering magnetic boxes wholesale value the one-piece foldable construction: it feels like a premium rigid box in hand but ships flat, cutting freight and warehouse volume sharply. Drawer box packaging is the default for jewelry, tea and curated gift sets, and a foam or velvet insert turns the same format into luxury drawer box packaging for high-end pieces.
Materials and finishing
Rigid boxes are built on 1.5–2 mm greyboard and wrapped in coated, kraft or specialty textured paper. Common print finishes include gold or silver foil stamping, spot UV, deboss/emboss and full-colour offset. Folding kraft drawer boxes ship flat to reduce freight, then fold into shape without tape or glue.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a rigid box and a folding carton?
A rigid (set-up) box is made from thick greyboard wrapped in paper — it holds its shape, feels premium and is usually shipped pre-assembled. A folding carton is thin printed card that ships flat and is folded on site. Rigid boxes cost more but convey a higher-end product; folding cartons are cheaper and freight-efficient.
What board weight should I choose?
For rigid set-up boxes the board is typically 1.5–2 mm greyboard; the wrap paper is 157 gsm coated or comparable specialty stock. Heavier items or larger boxes use thicker board. We recommend the exact specification after seeing your product weight and dimensions.
Is there a die-cutting or tooling fee?
Standard sizes reuse existing forms with little or no tooling cost. A fully custom size requires a new die-cutting form, which is why custom-dimension orders usually start around 500 pieces. We always confirm any tooling fee in writing before you commit.
Can you print my logo on the box?
Yes — foil stamping, spot UV, embossing/debossing and full-colour print are all supported. Foil and emboss are the most popular for gift boxes because they read as premium without a large minimum.
Can I order magnetic gift boxes wholesale for my own brand?
Yes. Magnetic boxes wholesale orders use a foldable rigid box with a hidden magnet in the lid — the same premium feel as a set-up box, delivered flat-packed. Stock sizes accept foil stamping or full print with your artwork from about 100 pieces; custom dimensions and Pantone-wrapped colours are quoted from around 500 pieces. A plain white sample arrives first, followed by a printed proof before bulk.
What is drawer box packaging, and when should I choose it?
Drawer box packaging pairs an outer sleeve with a tray that slides out, so the reveal is slow and controlled rather than a lid lifted off. It is the standard choice for jewelry, watches, tea, chocolate and curated gift sets. For premium lines, add a die-cut foam, EVA or velvet insert — that combination is what most buyers mean by luxury drawer box packaging. Kraft folding drawers ship flat for large runs; rigid paper-wrapped drawers ship assembled.
How do custom gift boxes wholesale orders work, and what is the MOQ?
Pick a stock format close to your product and customise the print: custom gift boxes wholesale orders then start around 100 pieces with no cutting-die fee, and a white sample plus printed proof take about 5–7 days. A fully custom size or structure needs a new die-cutting form, which is why bespoke dimensions start near 500 pieces. Boxes, bags and printed ribbon can be consolidated into one shipment and one proforma invoice under FOB, CIF or DDP terms.
