Custom Magnetic Gift Boxes

Plan a Magnetic Gift Box That Works in Production

A strong concept becomes order-ready when the product, structure, artwork, quantity, and approval path are planned together. Share what the box will hold, how it will be handed over or delivered, what the recipient should notice first, and which brand elements must remain consistent. From there, sizing, insert planning, print coverage, finishes, and production requirements can be built around one agreed direction.

1. 
   Start With the Product and Its Removal Path

   Custom sizing should begin with the actual contents rather than a guessed dimension. Provide the length, width, and height of each product, along with any inner container, wrapping, accessory, document, or protective layer. For sets, confirm the pack count and preferred arrangement. Irregular items may need an outline, sample, or clear reference so the cavity and spacing can be planned accurately. Removal matters as much as fit. Explain whether the recipient should lift one hero product first, view the full set at once, or work through items in sequence. This helps determine insert depth, finger access, divider placement, and removal clearance. Exact dimensions should be confirmed through the approved structure and dieline.

2. 
   Match the Structure to the Handoff

   A magnetic gift box can support a corporate handoff, retail gift, event kit, product launch, direct delivery, or coordinated set. The best configuration depends on where the recipient meets the package and what happens next. A book-style opening can create a guided reveal. A hinged lid can keep the package composed while open. A drawer route can add pacing. A collapsible rigid route may suit programs where pre-assembly storage matters. Also confirm whether the box will hold one product, several related items, or a mix of products and printed materials. Foam, paperboard, kraft, cardboard, or corrugated inserts can be shaped around the chosen contents. The same order can be planned for shipment to multiple addresses, so mention routing needs early.

3. 
   Plan the Inside Before Finalizing the Outside

   Decide what must be visible when the lid lifts, which item should be easiest to identify, and whether the recipient needs to understand a sequence or relationship between products. This guides insert style, spacing, inside print, short messages, and the use of lid or base surfaces. Foam inserts can be die cut around specific products or components. Board-based inserts, dividers, and trays can create defined sections for sets or kits. The right route depends on product shape, desired appearance, and how the contents should be selected. Approve the interior with the structure so artwork and inserts do not compete for space.

4. 
   Prepare Artwork Across Every Relevant Surface

   Artwork support is available for the dieline, file setup, resizing, bleed, and safe zones. Accepted production files include AI, PDF, PSD, and EPS. You can print the front, back, top, bottom, outside, and inside where the selected structure allows it. Full-color CMYK, PMS or spot color, digital, offset, and white ink on kraft are supported routes. Identify the elements that must remain consistent, then assign each a clear surface and purpose. The team can check supplied artwork and provide a digital proof for every approved order. Printing begins only after the final artwork, structure, and proof direction are approved.

5. 
   Choose Finishes by the Attention They Create

   Matte, gloss, soft-touch, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, debossing, aqueous coating, and raised effects are available. Begin with what the recipient should notice and feel, not with how many finishes can fit on the box. A quiet matte field may support a restrained identity. Gloss can strengthen bright graphics. Foil, embossing, debossing, or raised detail can give selected words or marks more visual and tactile weight. Finishes should also be checked against the chosen wrap, print coverage, and production specification. One or two details with a clear role can create a more coherent result than treating every surface as a separate effect.

6. 
   Plan Quantity, Proofing, and Production Timing

   Supported rigid-box orders may start from 25 boxes. Supported paperboard, cardstock, kraft, and corrugated orders may start from 50 boxes. A low starting quantity does not automatically remove relevant customization choices, provided the structure and production specification support them. Per-unit pricing generally improves as quantity increases, with more visible changes often appearing around 500 units. No fixed saving percentage should be assumed before quotation. A digital proof is available for every approved order. A physical prototype may be available for a qualifying bulk or wholesale project, and its cost may be adjusted into the resulting order where approved. This is different from an unrestricted free sample. Artwork and dieline support are available, and no die or plate fee applies where supported by the approved order terms. Production normally takes 4–6 business days after payment, final artwork approval and structure confirmation. Production-ready jobs are generally planned to print and ship within 7 business days. Shipping transit time is separate, while complex multi-design orders may require a separately confirmed schedule. A smoother order begins with complete product information, a selected structure, approved artwork, and a clear quantity. Bringing those decisions together early helps the team quote the right specification, prepare the proof, and move the approved box into production without avoidable rework.
