Custom Magnetic Gift Boxes for Retail and Gifting

Custom magnetic gift boxes from Colormix in Guangzhou, China — 500 pcs per size, digital samples in 3–7 days; production-line samples in 7–10 days, bulk in 15–22 working days after approval. The magnets sit inside the board, so the lid aligns on every close and the outside stays clean for print and foil. Used for skincare sets, candles and corporate gifts where the opening is part of the product.

A magnetic closure box opens with a controlled pull and closes with a soft click. The magnets are buried inside the board, so the outside stays clean and the lid aligns every time. It is the format buyers associate with unboxing videos and premium gift sets.

Magnetic Closure Boxes: the structures we quote most

Each structure changes the dieline, the assembly time and the unit cost. Send the product and we quote the two that fit, rather than all of them.

Board and materials

  • Greyboard 2.0–2.5 mm
  • Art paper 157 / 200 gsm
  • Soft-touch laminate
  • Textured specialty paper
  • Metallised or pearlescent paper

Finishing

  • Hot foil stamping
  • Embossing and debossing
  • Spot UV on a matte laminate
  • Soft-touch lamination
  • Edge painting

Inserts

  • EVA foam with die-cut cavities
  • Paperboard platform with ribbon
  • Molded pulp tray
  • Flocked tray
  • Satin ribbon and pull tabs

Material and finish are specified per project and confirmed on the sample. Where a material claim matters — recycled content, plastic-free insert — the specification states what the material is, so the claim can be checked rather than assumed.

Magnetic Closure Boxes: questions before ordering

How strong are the magnets?

Magnet grade and count are matched to the box size and the weight the lid has to hold. For large lids we use bar magnets instead of discs so the pull stays even along the closing edge.

Can magnets be hidden completely?

Yes. The magnets sit between the greyboard and the wrap, so nothing is visible from either side. Magnet positions are marked on the dieline before production.

Is a magnetic box suitable for e-commerce shipping?

It is a presentation box, not a shipping carton. For direct-to-consumer shipping we normally pair it with a corrugated outer mailer sized to the box.

What is the minimum order?

500 pcs per size, the same as every other box type we produce.
