Custom Corporate Gift Boxes with Fitted Inserts for Staff and Clients

What goes in a corporate gift box?

Usually a small set of useful, branded items. Our photos show the common combinations: a notebook, pen and insulated flask in green or blue; a cardholder, keyring and pen in a grey box; a white notebook and pen in a black foam bed; and a single keyring in a red box.

The box holds the set together and makes it feel like a gift rather than a handful of merchandise. A fitted insert is what does that, because each item has a place cut for it. Loose items rattling around a large box look like an afterthought, however good the box is.

How does the magnetic lid work on a gift set box?

A spine runs along the back, so the lid swings up and over like the cover of a desk diary. On closing, the flap drops against the front wall and two buried magnets pull it tight. The box opens in one movement and shows the whole set at once.

Because the lid stays attached, nothing gets lost on a busy desk or in a conference bag. The box can be kept afterwards to store the notebook or cards, which keeps your logo in sight long after the day it arrived.

The grey and green boxes in our photos open this way. The white and red boxes use a separate lift-off lid, which is also possible if you prefer it.

Foam or card insert for a corporate gift box?

Both work. The choice depends on the items and the look you want. Foam is the safer option for anything heavy, while card keeps the inside in the same colour as the outside.

Matching your brand colours

Most companies want the box in a brand colour, as with the green and blue sets in our photos. A box in the right shade does a lot of branding work before the logo is even read. Plain wraps in a matched colour, printed wraps and textured or linen-look papers are options.

Send your colour reference and logo files, ideally as vector artwork. We match as closely as the wrap papers allow and show the result on a proof before anything is made. Dark brand colours suit soft touch lamination; bright ones usually look best with matt or gloss lamination.

Where should the logo go?

The lid is the obvious place, usually centred and foiled. A second, smaller mark inside the lid or on the flap is a nice detail that the recipient finds when the box opens. Keep the outside to one mark so the box still looks smart on a client's shelf.

For the logo itself you can pick foil, a raised emboss, a pressed deboss or a gloss spot UV layer. A short message inside the lid, such as a welcome line for new starters, costs little more than a plain lining and is often the part people remember. You can try a logo on a lid first in Design Your Box for corporate sets.

How do corporate gift boxes reach each recipient?

Boxes come to you made up, empty and ready to fill. Free tracked UK delivery takes 2–3 business days after 4–6 business days of production.

If the filled boxes are then posted to staff working from home, pack each one in a plain outer carton with fill at the corners. Check the weight of a filled box early, because a flask and a hardback notebook together are heavier than most people guess. The address label goes on the carton, never on the gift box wrap, because peeling it off tears the paper.

Ordering corporate gift boxes

Send the list of items, their sizes or photos, the quantity, your brand colour and logo. A rough sketch of the layout helps, even on paper. Every order is quoted in writing.

Artwork placement costs nothing, and the proof you get covers both the outer wrap and a drawing of the insert cut-outs. Once you approve it, production starts, and the boxes arrive free across the UK. If the set will be sent at a particular event, request a corporate gift box quote with the date and we plan around it.
