Gift Boxes For All Occasions and Celebrations
Save time on wrapping up presents and avoid the awkward, ungainly wrapping of unusual shapes by placing a present in a beautifully designed gift box. Whether you are looking for gift boxes for a corporate event, weddings, parties, or just for a single item, then you can find gift boxes suitable for every type of occasion.
There is a huge selection of colours, patterns, and sizes to choose from. Why not line the gift box with tissue paper and top it off with a satin bow to complete the look? There is something exceptional about receiving a present in a gift box that adds a special sense of wonder.
Gift boxes for every present
Go one step better with your perfect gift by making it extra special in its presentation. Choose a colourful gift box to make a statement, and, as they come in all shapes and sizes, there is no gift too big or too small that can't be presented with flourish. From small, lavish jewellery boxes to large, impressively designed gift boxes, you can find the perfect way to present your gift, transforming it to something special.
What are the types of gift boxes?
Gift boxes are available in many different styles. Rigid gift boxes are great for presentation gifts. Folding boxes often have magnets to keep the box sealed and are ideal for keepsakes and you can often find these as jewellery gift boxes to beautifully present an item. Smarten up a sweet or chocolate gift to make the recipient feel special, transferring a lovely gift to a real statement of presentation. You can find fun, novelty gift boxes, ideal for wedding or party favours and they can be themed or decorated to match the occasion.
Gift boxes can be made from various materials ranging from cardboard, plastic or metal. Most are made from eco-friendly packaging.
Some of the most popular gift box styles include:
- Box with lid – this is the most common and most cost-effective gift box on the market. It simply consists of a base and lid. They come square, rectangle or round with lids that are a partial or full lid.
- Shoulder box – the lid on this box sits flush with the base of the box with the shoulder coming up higher than the base of the box and is hidden on the inside.
- Hinged box – this is like the original box and lid; the difference is the lid is attached to the base of the box with a hinge.
- Hinged box with a flap lid – this box has the hinged lid on the top or the side of the base. It has another flap that comes down the other side of the box with a hidden magnet that helps secure the closure of the box.
- Clamshell box – this box is rigid and like a three-sided hinged lid. The difference is the lid is hinged from the bottom rather than the top.
- Book style box
Gift baskets are another option if you don’t want an actual box.
What should a gift box include?
Gift boxes can include a wide variety of items. Anything from snacks, home and office supplies, collectables, or customised swag for your clients from your company. It all comes down to the occasion you wish to provide a gift for. Be sure to include a card to the recipient with your well wishes for them and the specific occasion for which you are presenting them with your gift.
