Custom gift boxes with lids, ribbon and inserts

Gift boxes live and die by the calendar. Miss the order date for Mother's Day, Valentine's or the holidays and you sell nothing. The box also has to look like a present before it is opened.

Questions about gift boxes

When should I order gift boxes for the holidays?

Allow at least 8 weeks before you need stock. That covers artwork, 12 working days of standard production and shipping. The planner on this page calculates dates for each season and speed.

Can I add tissue paper and ribbon?

Yes. Tissue and ribbon are add-ons on most gift boxes. Ask for them with your quote.

Can you print a personal message inside the lid?

Yes. Inside print is available on most gift boxes. For per-box personalization, ask about digital print runs.

What is the smallest order?

Most gift boxes start at 50 units. Rigid boxes may start at 100.

Do the boxes ship flat?

Folding gift boxes ship flat. Rigid boxes ship assembled, which costs more to freight.

Can I get corporate gift packaging?

Yes. Use the wholesale quote form for volumes of 1,000 or more or if you need branded sets for staff or clients.
