Great Gifting: Magnetic Gift Boxes

Within this blog post, we’ll look at some of the key design choices we made whilst creating these card gift boxes and how they can be best used within your retail space, both offline and online.

What are magnetic gift boxes and why are they so popular?

Simply put, magnetic gift boxes with lids are a more premium packaging option that combines both form and function. Unlike the various styles out there including just flat pack, ribbon tie etc, these boxes are designed with a concealed magnetics closure to create a secure and satisfying seal. The result is an elegant packaging solution that enhances the perceived value of the products inside.

What makes magnetic box packaging stand out is the unique tactile experience it delivers. The ‘snap’ of the magnetic closure feels intentional and secure, reinforcing quality from the very first interaction. Businesses are increasingly turning to magnetic closure boxes not just for aesthetics, but for the practical benefits too. They’re robust, reusable and easy to assemble, arriving flat-packed saving you valuable storage space.

Why do magnetic closure boxes impress customers?

As we always tell our customers, presentation can be just as important as the product itself. Magnetic closure boxes offer a refined unboxing experience that resonates with customers across industries. The smooth, seamless opening paired with the gentle snapping of the magnetic seal, gives a premium feel that immediately takes your contents inside to a whole new level.

The visual appeal of magnetic gift boxes for gifts also plays a significant role in customer perception. A minimalist high-end option like our kraft, red, grey and black magnetic gift box exudes sophistication and versatility. Suited for corporate gifting, product launches or everyday retail, if you brand the boxes, it further enhances brand identity and customers satisfaction.

Custom magnetic gift boxes: a branding opportunity

Whether you’re sending corporate gifts, product samples or promotional materials, a custom magnetic closure box offers quality and attention to detail before the recipient even lifts the lid. With options like embossing, foil stamping or full-colour digital printing, you can incorporate logos, taglines or campaign-specific artwork that reinforces your identity. As this is a more bespoke service, it’s a great opportunity for businesses looking for higher quantities.

If you wanted to add branding to a gift box but only need a few for your store, for example, then we would recommend branding satin or grosgrain ribbon and wrapping it around the gift box instead. With 60+ colour options and a low MOQ of 500m+ and 1-2 weeks lead time, it’s a great short lead time workaround.
