Adding Card Gift Boxes To Your Range

22 July 2024

We’ve recently expanded our range of cardboard gift boxes. These versatile packaging solutions work across businesses of all sizes and are a simple way to introduce lower-cost gifting options into your range, helping to create higher-margin product tiers.

Selection of cardboard gift hampers and trays

Cardboard gift boxes are a strong addition to any gift packaging range, particularly if you currently focus on premium options such as wicker hamper baskets or wooden hampers. By adding a more accessible price point, you avoid missing a key customer segment and open up new sales opportunities.

Cost-Effective Design for Wholesale Gift Packaging

We manufacture and supply gift packaging at a range of price points, and cardboard gift boxes are one of the most cost-effective options available.

Because they are made from lightweight, scalable materials, they can be produced and purchased in bulk at reduced unit costs. For example, larger volume orders (such as 180 units) can achieve savings of around 20%, reducing costs to approximately £2.08 per unit.

Their lightweight but sturdy construction also helps reduce damage during transit, making them ideal for wholesale gift packaging and seasonal retail ranges.

This combination of bulk pricing and efficient materials makes cardboard gift boxes a practical choice for businesses looking to introduce a lower price-point gifting option.

Sustainable Cardboard Gift Boxes

Sustainability is a key driver in modern packaging decisions, and cardboard gift boxes perform strongly in this area.

Our boxes are typically made from recycled materials and are fully recyclable after use, helping reduce environmental impact across your gifting range.

For environmentally conscious customers, cardboard gift packaging offers an easy, affordable and responsible option. When paired with natural fillers like shredded paper or wood wool, they can still achieve a premium presentation suitable for retail gifting.

Versatile & Easy To Store

Our cardboard gift boxes are supplied flat-packed, making them easy to store and ideal for businesses with limited space.

Despite their flat-packed design, they can be assembled in seconds. Most styles use a simple fold-and-lock structure with adhesive strips or magnetic closures to secure the box once built.

A ribbon pull tab has also been added to many designs, allowing recipients to open the box easily without damaging the packaging.

Available in Kraft, black and silver colourways (with more options in development), they provide a flexible base for your gifting range. You can then enhance them with ribbons, shredded paper or branded finishes to match your seasonal or product theme.

Ideal for Entry-Level Gift Hampers

Cardboard gift boxes are a great way to introduce entry-level hampers into your range without compromising on presentation.

They sit alongside higher-end options such as wicker hamper baskets and wooden hampers, giving you a structured pricing ladder that caters to different customer budgets.

This allows you to:

  • Offer lower-cost gift hampers
  • Increase average order volume
  • Improve seasonal flexibility
  • Broaden your customer base

They are particularly effective for retail gifting, corporate hampers and seasonal promotions where price accessibility is important.

Building a Balanced Gift Packaging Range

Adding cardboard gift boxes to your range ensures you’re not relying solely on premium formats like wicker hamper baskets.

A balanced packaging mix allows you to offer:

This structure helps you maximise market coverage while maintaining strong margins across different price points.
