Custom packaging and branded boxes

Gift box or presentation box: what is the difference?

The two terms are often used interchangeably. In practice, we use presentation box for a sturdy container, often in wood, designed to last, and box for lighter packaging (rigid cardboard, thin MDF) whose main role is presentation. What matters to you: the look, the use and the budget.

The box formats we make

• Lift-off lid box: the classic format, simple and elegant.
• Drawer box: sliding opening, a popular reveal effect.
• Magnetic box: flap closure, a luxurious look for cosmetics or accessories.
• Window box: the product stays visible, depending on what the material allows.
• Compartment box: several products stored separately.

Who is it for?

Companies for their gifts, brands for their product packaging (cosmetics, fine foods, accessories, jewellery), shops and designers for retail packaging that stands out. For brands, see also cosmetic packaging.

Recommended materials for a custom box

Rigid cardboard is the most widely used for presentation boxes in quantity. MDF and wood suit boxes meant to be kept. Vinyl or faux leather coverings add colour and texture.

Customization

Logo, brand colours, interior, message, insert: the options are the same as for our gift boxes. See logo marking techniques to prepare your files.
