Custom Magnetic Closure Boxes Made to Your Size

What are magnetic closure boxes used for?

This is the box most people picture when they think of a premium gift. The lid sweeps over the top in one movement and the flap snaps down on the front. Nothing to untie, nothing to lose.

Fashion labels use it for knitwear and accessories. Candle and fragrance houses use it for sets. Gifting teams like it because staff can open, fill and close it at a packing table without any training.

Still choosing between styles? Our guide to how each rigid box style opens sets the magnetic box beside the drawer, lift-off and book styles.

How big should a magnetic box be for my product?

Measure the item, or the item in its insert, then add a few millimetres each way. A gap of 3 to 5 mm on length and width is usual. On height, leave room for tissue or a lid insert if you plan one.

Tell us the inside size you want and we work out the outside size from the board thickness. A box that is too tight strains the flap. One that is too loose lets the product rattle when the courier lifts it.

The flap depth follows the height of the box. On a shallow box it may cover most of the front wall.

Board and wrap

Underneath sits a greyboard shell, and you can ask for a thicker or thinner board. Over that goes the wrap. Choose printed paper in your artwork, a plain coloured paper, or a textured or linen-look paper with a feel under the hand.

The black boxes in our photos use a plain matt wrap outside and a white paper lining inside. The open box on the pink background shows a different idea: a bold pattern on one side wall only, with a purple lining.

Pick the wrap with the room in mind. A dark matt paper looks calm on a shop counter. A loud printed paper works harder in a photo on social media.

Can a magnetic box hold an insert?

Yes. A card insert with cut cavities suits sets of jars or bottles. Foam suits glass or anything that must not touch its neighbour. A satin-lined insert suits jewellery and small leather goods.

Send us the items, or exact measurements, and we cut the insert to match. Our page on rigid boxes built around fitted inserts shows the cavity styles in more detail.

Which print and finish options work best?

Any of our finishes can go on this box as an option. The table shows where each one tends to sit on a magnetic box, and why.

Why do customers keep magnetic boxes?

A box with a fixed lid that still closes properly gets reused. People keep cables, letters, watches or make-up in them for years. Your logo stays on a shelf in their home long after the gift is gone.

That is also why the inside matters. A printed lining or a short note under the lid greets the owner on every opening, not just the first.

How do I post a magnetic box without damage?

Rigid board shrugs off most knocks, yet the wrap can scuff and a corner can dent in a parcel network. Put the filled box inside a plain corrugated shipper with a little void fill on every side.

Choose a shipper about 10 to 20 mm larger than the gift box in each direction. A loose box sliding inside a big shipper takes more damage than one held snug. You can see how we send your order on our free tracked UK delivery page.

Keep the rigid box clean of tape. Seal the shipper, never the gift box itself, so the wrap is not torn when the customer opens it.
