Complete Guide to Gift Box Packaging
What types of wholesale gift boxes do you offer?We stock two styles: one-piece gift boxes and two-piece gift boxes. One-piece boxes have an attached lid, ship flat to save freight, and are the economical choice for lightweight products like jewelry, small accessories, and cosmetics. Two-piece boxes have a separate lid and base for a premium unboxing experience, and are better suited to higher-value products, retail displays, and branded packaging. Both styles are stock items available in kraft, white, and colored finishes. What sizes and colors do gift boxes come in?Gift boxes are stocked in four colors — kraft, white, black gloss, and holiday red — across multiple dimensions, from small jewelry boxes sized for rings and earrings up to larger boxes for candles and apparel accessories. Kraft gives a natural, eco-friendly look popular with artisan and handmade goods; white is a clean finish that suits any brand; black gloss reads as premium for luxury items; holiday red is the seasonal option for Christmas and Valentine's packaging. Exact dimensions are listed on each product page above. What products are gift boxes best for?Gift boxes are used most often for jewelry (rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings), cosmetics and beauty items (lip gloss, skincare samples, bath products), and candles, soaps, and small home goods. E-commerce sellers also use them as an inner box to add a premium touch to online orders, and retailers use them for point-of-sale displays. Because the paperboard is FDA-compliant for direct product contact, they can also be used for packaged food gifts. How do I choose between one-piece and two-piece gift boxes?Choose one-piece boxes when cost and speed matter most — they fold flat, set up in seconds, and work well for items under about 8 oz. Choose two-piece boxes when the unboxing experience is part of the product: the separate lid and base feel more substantial, hold up to reuse, and give a cleaner surface for branding on higher-value items. If you are packaging jewelry samples in volume, one-piece is usually the better economics; if you are packaging a $50+ retail item, two-piece is worth the difference. What material are these gift boxes made from, and are they food safe?Our gift boxes are made from high-quality paperboard (chipboard) with finishes that vary by color. The materials are FDA-compliant for direct product contact, which makes them safe for packaged food items, cosmetics, and general consumer goods. They are not moisture-barrier packaging, so wet or greasy foods should be wrapped in a food-grade liner or cello bag before boxing. Can I get custom printed or branded gift boxes?The gift boxes listed on this page are stock, unprinted boxes held in inventory for immediate shipment. Custom printed and branded gift boxes are available as a separate program with minimum order quantities and added lead time. Email [email protected] or call (570) 709-0366 to get custom options, minimums, and pricing. Do you offer bulk or wholesale discounts on gift boxes?Yes. Prism Pak is a wholesale packaging supplier and prices gift boxes on tiered quantity breaks, so the per-unit cost drops as order quantity increases. Tiered pricing is shown directly on each product page above. For pallet quantities, standing orders, or blanket orders released over time, contact us for a volume quote. How fast do gift boxes ship?Most stock gift boxes ship within 1-2 business days from our Pennsylvania warehouse. Because these are inventoried items rather than made-to-order, you are not waiting on a production run. Expedited shipping is available when you need packaging sooner — call (570) 709-0366 to arrange it.
