Gift sets
A hinged lid and a fitted insert make a gift set feel finished before the first item comes out, and the box often stays with the recipient.
Rigid gift and kit boxes with a magnetic lid
Custom Magnetic Boxes
Custom magnetic boxes are rigid chipboard boxes with a hinged lid that closes with hidden magnets, so the box opens like a case and shuts cleanly every time. They suit gift sets, premium kits and keepsake packaging. Send your size, quantity and artwork, and we will quote the box and insert.

- Printed wrap inside and out
- Foam inserts available
What custom magnetic boxes are
A magnetic box is a rigid box built from thick chipboard and wrapped in printed paper, with a hinged lid that closes against small magnets hidden under the wrap. Because it is a rigid box, it arrives already set up and holds its shape; see custom rigid boxes for the other rigid styles.
The closure is what buyers notice. The lid swings open like a case and closes with a soft snap, with no tabs or tape to tear. Buyers also call them custom magnetic closure boxes or magnetic gift boxes, and most add an insert so each item sits in its own cutout.

Custom Foam InsertsKeepsake packaging
Packaging that gets reused for storage keeps the brand in front of the customer long after delivery.
Inserts for magnetic boxes
An insert keeps each item in place and makes the box look arranged when the lid opens. Foam can be cut to the shape of each product, and the insert can sit flush with the top of the base. Read more about custom foam inserts, or send the size of each item and we will quote the insert with the box.

Custom magnetic box questions
What is a magnetic closure box?
A magnetic closure box is a rigid box with a hinged lid that stays shut with small magnets hidden under the printed wrap. It opens and closes like a case without tabs, ribbons or tape. Brands use it for gift sets, premium kits and packaging that the customer keeps after the product is out.
Are magnetic boxes the same as rigid boxes?
A magnetic box is one style of rigid box. Both use thick chipboard covered in a printed wrap. The difference is the closure: a lid and base rigid box has a separate lid, while a magnetic box has a hinged lid held shut by magnets. We can quote both and help you compare them.
Can a magnetic box include a foam insert?
Yes. A foam insert with a cutout for each item is one of the most common additions to a magnetic box. Send the dimensions of each item and how you want them arranged, and we will quote the insert layout together with the box so the complete kit is covered in one request.
Can magnetic boxes be printed inside?
Yes. The wrap can carry artwork on the outside, and the inside of the lid and base can be printed or lined as well. Tell us where you want print and whether you prefer a gloss or matte finish, and we will confirm the options we can supply in your quote.
What should I send for a magnetic box quote?
Send the product or box dimensions, the quantity you are planning, whether you need an insert, and your delivery ZIP. Attach artwork if you have it, or tell us it is still in progress. We review the details and reply with the magnetic box options and costs we can offer.
