Magnetic Gift Boxes with Your Logo from 20: A Small-Batch Alternative to Printed Mailer Boxes
If you want 20 to 50 gift boxes with your logo and a magnetic lid, a printed mailer box is usually the wrong product, and a fully custom box is usually too big an order. The middle option is a ready-made magnetic folding gift box with your logo foil stamped or UV printed on the lid: our magnetic folding gift boxes start at 20 boxes per size and colour and come in 16 sizes.
Mailer box or magnetic gift box: which one do you need?
Online box printers such as Packlane, Packola and noissue are where many small brands first look for custom packaging, and they are popular for printed mailer boxes. A mailer is a corrugated box that goes through the post and gets opened once. A magnetic gift box is a sturdy paperboard box with a lid that closes on its own and gets kept. They solve different problems.
| Printed mailer box | Magnetic folding gift box | |
|---|---|---|
| Main job | Protects the order in the post | Presents the product when it is opened or handed over |
| Material | Corrugated board | Sturdy paperboard with a paper wrap |
| Closing | Tuck flaps | Magnetic lid |
| Branding | Printed artwork, often all over the box | Logo in gold, silver, white or black foil, or full-colour UV |
| After unboxing | Usually recycled | Often kept for storage or regifting |
Many sellers use both: the magnetic gift box holds the product, and a plain shipping carton or mailer protects it on the way. If your customers open the box at home and you want them to keep it, the gift box is the one that carries your brand.
How many magnetic gift boxes with a logo can I order?
The minimum is 20 boxes per size and colour. Twenty black and twenty white of the same size is fine. Fifteen of one colour is not. That makes a first order of 20 or 40 boxes realistic for a launch, a holiday run or a client gift.
When your orders grow and you need a size that is not in the range, a fully custom box made to your product starts from 500 boxes. Starting with a ready-made size lets you test the box with real customers before committing to that run.
Which sizes are available?
Sizes are outside measurements, length × width × height. These four cover most small product orders:
| Box | Outside size | Good for |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 9.1 × 5.9 × 3.9 in (23 × 15 × 10 cm) | Candles, mugs, compact sets |
| Medium Ribbon | 10.2 × 9.1 × 3.7 in (26 × 23 × 9.5 cm) | Accessory and gift sets |
| Large | 13.8 × 9.1 × 3.9 in (35 × 23 × 10 cm) | Two or three item sets, apparel |
| Tall | 13.6 × 10.4 × 6.6 in (34.5 × 26.5 × 16.7 cm) | Bottles, drinkware, hampers |
Measure your packed product, including tissue, filler and a card, and compare it with the outside size before you choose. The full range of 16 sizes and up to 13 colours is in the magnetic folding gift box collection.
How does the logo get on the box?
On the product page, choose the option to add your logo, upload your file and pick the finish. The printing fee for your quantity is added to the cart, so you see the full box and logo cost before checkout. We send a digital proof, and nothing is printed until you approve it.
Foil works well for a simple one-colour logo on a dark or coloured box. Full-colour UV suits logos with several colours or fine detail.
How long does it take?
| Order | Dispatch from China |
|---|---|
| Plain boxes | 1 to 3 business days after payment |
| Boxes with your logo | 2 to 5 business days after you approve the proof |
Delivery options, transit time and any duties for your country are shown at checkout before you pay; see the shipping policy for details. The boxes ship flat, so 20 or 40 of them take far less room than assembled boxes until you pack.
Magnetic gift boxes with logo: FAQ
Can I mix sizes or colours in one order?
Yes. Each size and colour you choose needs at least 20 boxes.
Do the boxes arrive assembled?
No. They arrive flat and fold into shape in a few seconds. The magnets in the lid hold it closed.
Can I see a box before ordering 20?
Yes. Ask us about a sample first; we confirm what the sample includes, the fee and shipping before you pay. See the sample process.
What if none of the sizes fit my product?
Then a custom size is the right route. Custom boxes are made to your product from 500 boxes; send us your dimensions for a quote.
