Short answer
The price of a custom gift box mainly depends on the material, the dimensions, the quantity, the manufacturing complexity (opening, compartments), the finishes, the marking technique and the interior insert, as well as any contents. Only a quote based on these elements gives a reliable price.
We do not publish a price list: a price shown without knowing your project would be misleading. Every VELORIA DESIGN quote is prepared after reviewing the project.
The 8 price factors
| Factor | Impact | How to optimize |
|---|---|---|
| Material | High | Choose the material suited to the use, not necessarily the most noble |
| Dimensions | High | Size the box as closely as possible around the contents |
| Quantity | High | Set-up costs are spread over the whole order |
| Opening | Medium | A simple lid rather than a complex mechanism |
| Finish | Medium | Varnish or oil rather than multi-coat lacquer |
| Marking | Medium | One technique, one position |
| Insert | Medium to high | Simple insert or standardized compartments |
| Lead time | Variable | Planning ahead avoids schedule constraints |
The quantity effect
A custom box involves set-up costs (design, adjustments, proof) that do not depend on the quantity. Over 50 pieces they weigh heavily per unit; over 500, much less. That is why asking for a quote at several quantity levels helps you decide.
How to optimize your budget without cheapening the gift
- Segment: premium boxes for a selection, simpler boxes for the others.
- Standardize the format and customize through the marking.
- Choose the right material: MDF or plywood offer an excellent result at a controlled cost; rigid cardboard for larger orders.
- Simplify the opening and the insert.
- Plan ahead to avoid deadline constraints.
What a quote should include
Material, dimensions, finish, marking (technique, position, size), insert, quantity, unit and total price, terms, manufacturing lead time and delivery terms. If anything is missing, ask for it.
