What Are Custom Gift & Specialty?
Gift and specialty packaging exists to make an impression before the product inside is even revealed. We manufacture magnetic closure rigid boxes, pillow boxes, drawer-style sliding boxes, hexagonal presentation boxes, window gift boxes, telescope lid sets, and handle carriers — all custom printed and structurally engineered for a premium unboxing experience. Board thickness ranges from 1,200gsm to 2,500gsm wrapped rigid to 350gsm folding carton depending on the format.
Every surface is a design opportunity. Print full-color CMYK on the exterior, add hot foil stamping in gold, silver, or rose gold, apply spot UV to make logos catch light, and line the interior with suede-touch paper, satin fabric, or custom-printed tissue. Inserts are die-cut EVA foam, flocked velvet trays, or corrugated dividers — molded to cradle your product precisely. Minimum orders start at 500 units with production running 12 to 18 business days.
Gift packaging drives repeat purchases. Research shows 61% of consumers say premium packaging makes them more likely to buy the same brand again. The cost difference between a basic brown box and a magnetic closure gift box is typically $1.50-3.00 per unit — a small investment when your product retails at $30 or more. We help luxury brands, confectionery makers, jewelry companies, and premium spirits brands build packaging that customers keep and reuse long after the product is gone.

Built With Quality
Detailed view of the materials we use.
Grey Board (Rigid Base)
Dense recycled greyboard ranging from 1,200 to 2,500gsm provides the structural core of rigid gift boxes. Wrapped in printed art paper, specialty textures, or fabric. The heavier the greyboard, the more substantial and premium the box feels in hand.
SBS Art Paper Wrap
128 to 157gsm coated art paper laminated around the rigid greyboard core. Accepts offset printing at photographic quality. Available in matte, gloss, and specialty textures including linen, leather-grain, and canvas.
Folding Carton Board (SBS)
300 to 450gsm solid bleached sulfate board for folding formats like pillow boxes and telescope lids. Bright white surface for vibrant printing. FSC-certified and recyclable.
EVA Foam Inserts
Thermoformed ethylene-vinyl acetate foam in densities from 18 to 45 kg/m3. Die-cut to cradle products with precision. Covered in flocked velvet, satin, or microfiber fabric. Available in black, white, and custom colors.
Specialty Lining Materials
Suede-touch paper, real satin fabric, velvet flocking, and metallic shimmer papers for interior finishing. Applied to the inner lid, base walls, and bottom. 40+ stock colors or custom Pantone matching.
Printing & Finishing
Premium print methods and finishing options to make your packaging stand out.
Hot Foil Stamping
Metallic or pigmented foil pressed with heated dies. Gold, silver, rose gold, copper, and holographic options. Creates brilliant reflective logos and accent lines that catch every angle of light.
Spot UV Coating
Thick UV-cured varnish applied to specific design elements over a matte laminated base. Creates a raised, glossy contrast effect. Combined with debossing for multi-sensory impact.
Full-Wrap Printing
Continuous printing across all exterior panels including the spine, lid, and base. The entire box becomes a canvas. Works on rigid wrapped boxes using litho-lamination technique.
Embossing & Debossing
3D raised or recessed textures pressed into board using custom brass or steel dies. From subtle logo marks to full-panel patterns. The tactile dimension that photographs alone cannot convey.
Soft-Touch Lamination
Velvety matte finish that gives the entire box a suede-like surface. Resists fingerprints and scuffs. Creates a sensory experience the moment the box is touched.
Metallic Ink Printing
Special metallic inks in gold, silver, copper, and custom colors. Less expensive than foil stamping but provides similar shimmer effect. Ideal for large-area metallic coverage.
Edge Painting
Hand-applied or sprayed color on the raw edges of rigid board. Creates a contrast stripe visible when the box is closed. Gold, silver, or Pantone-matched edge colors available.
Interior Printing
Full-color printing on the inside surfaces of the box lid and base. Creates a branded moment when the box opens. Patterns, messages, or photographic imagery.
Unlimited Customization
Every inch of your packaging can be customized to match your brand.
Hidden Magnetic Closure
Neodymium magnets embedded flush inside the lid and base. Invisible from outside, they create a satisfying click when the box closes. Available in 2-magnet and 4-magnet configurations for different box sizes.
Ribbon Pull Tab
Satin, grosgrain, or organza ribbon attached to the lid interior allows one-handed opening. Available in 50+ colors to match or contrast your box design. Ribbon width from 6mm to 25mm.
Custom Foam Inserts
CAD-designed and die-cut EVA foam inserts perfectly molded to your product shape. Covered in velvet, satin, or suede fabric. Multi-tier options for products with multiple components.
Hot Foil & Blind Deboss
Combine metallic foil stamping with blind debossing for a dimensional logo treatment. The debossed area creates a shadow that makes the foil appear to float. Premium effect at moderate cost.
Belly Band & Sleeve
Printed paper band that wraps around the closed box. Adds a second design element, batch information, or seasonal messaging without reprinting the box itself. Easy to swap for limited editions.
Wax Seal Closure
Custom branded wax seal in gold, burgundy, forest green, or custom colors. Applied to ribbon or paper closure. Communicates heritage, craft, and attention to detail.
