7 Unique Custom Christmas Box Styles to Try this Christmas 

Here are 7 unconventional, custom Christmas boxes that will drive sales and do free-of-cost marketing for you. Let's begin!

1. Custom Tree-Shaped Christmas Boxes

As trees represent Christmas at its best and are a major part of the celebration, packing your products in tree-shaped boxes will add a festive spirit to your packaging. Their shape adds decorative appeal, and the distinctive silhouette makes them stand out from standard gifts. 

Additionally, you can even enhance these boxes further by adding gold foil stars, green printing, embossed snowflakes, and themed ribbons. They will look perfect for small gifts, sweets, or mini-sized promotional gifts.

2. Custom Christmas Hexagonal Boxes

Traditional square boxes look quite boring and traditional compared to hexagonal boxes. Six different sides give you quite a wide space to add branding and a little festive artwork to your boxes. You can put a distinctive illustration on each panel, such as stars, reindeer, snowflakes, or other Christmas-related elements. These boxes will work great for candies, confectionery, cocoa chips, or custom gift sets.

3. Star-Shaped Christmas Boxes

To spread the glitter of Christmas everywhere, star-shaped custom boxes can be used; they create a visually appealing look and reflect the perfect excitement of Christmas really well. Their pointy edges and shape will be loved by adults and children both and would suit all age groups, as stars are also a major symbol of Christmas festivities. You can add shiny illustrations or glitter stamping on the boxes and decorate them according to your product category. 

Here is a pro tip: always choose a shallow design for a small treat and a deeper box for adding multiple/heavy products. These boxes will work best for Christmas party favors, jewelry, confectionery, or limited-time offers.

4. Pillow Christmas Boxes

Pillow boxes are quite popular, as they feature a compact shape with curved ends that provide Christmas packaging with a playful, softer overall appearance. As they are distinctive, it's easy to decorate them with printed patterns, festive illustrations, or branded themed stickers. These boxes are great if your brand sells cosmetics, gift cards, small accessories, or wrapped Christmas sweet treats.

5. Personalized Christmas Pyramid Boxes

If your brand wants to add a hint of geometric touch to the Christmas boxes with sloping sides and pointed tips, then pyramid boxes are the perfect choice. They look classy and cute, especially with a bow, decorative seal, or ribbon. 

We would highly recommend deep red, forest green, or metallic gold with some minimal illustrations, such as printed snowflakes. These boxes will look great for small confectionery gifts, party favors, and any products that are lightweight.

6. Cylindrical Christmas Boxes

Cylindrical boxes provide an elegant and smooth alternative to angled packaging. The curved surfaces can be used for wrapping round Christmas illustrations or your brand logo. You can further elevate the whole look by adding textured paper, a fitted lid, foil-stamped details, and some colorful ribbons around the corners. 

Depending on the size and dimensions of the boxes, they can easily be used for cosmetics, confectionery, candle collections, or luxury Christmas collections.

7. Snowman-Shaped Christmas Packaging Boxes

Snowman-shaped boxes will make the evening joyful when they are gifted to anyone, especially children, or kept under the Christmas tree. You don't need to get into complicated artwork, but include tiny details such as a printed carrot nose, a red or green scarf, a black button, and a big smile. You can even hang a tag to make your appearance look personal and memorable. 

Here is our pro tip: Use it for your brand if you sell toys, novelty products, sweets, or some special Christmas promotional items.
