Personal gifts hold a special place in our hearts. They show thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and genuine care. And when it comes to packaging, personalised magnetic gift boxes take this concept to a whole new level. These stylish, luxury boxes not only enhance the unboxing experience for individuals but also serve as a fantastic branding tool for small businesses. In this blog, we’ll discuss how you can create customised magnetic gift boxes that leave a lasting impression on your customers...

The benefits of personalised magnetic gift boxes

Printed gift boxes offer loads of advantages that can significantly enhance any gifting experience. So why should you consider one for your business? Imagine being a customer and receiving a beautifully wrapped and personalised gift. Luxury branded gift boxes elevate the entire gifting experience, making any gift feel unique and premium.

And why should you choose magnetic boxes? Also referred to as snap shuts, they have magnets in the body and flap of the box that, wait for it, snap shut! They have ribbon tabs for extra luxury, and provide a fantastic canvas for bold, eye-catching branding and imagery. You can incorporate your logo, use striking colours, or even add custom prints that reflect your brand’s personality. Luxury magnetic boxes also look great in unboxing videos, and these are all over the internet and social media these days - so make sure you don't get left behind!

As well as using your brand colours, you can also personalise the box for a specific event or season. Magnetic boxes make great hampers for weddings, birthdays, baby showers, etc - so why not have something printed for the occasion? (At Tiny Box we also have some pre-printed magnetic gift boxes perfect for weddings, Easter, Christmas, and more!)

But what about sustainability? Well, you'll be pleased to hear that printing doesn't affect the recyclability of these boxes (but you'll still need to remove the magnets and ribbon tabs!).

Key elements of customised magnetic gift boxes

So we've covered the why, now onto how you can create truly unique magnetic gift boxes for your business or occasion. Consider the following elements:

Brand the outside: The exterior of your magnetic gift box is your brand’s canvas, where you can incorporate your brand colours, logo, and eye-catching imagery. Offering various sizes and shapes can cater to different gift items and occasions, allowing for a unique packaging solution each that fits any product. You can mix up the designs depending on the size of the box, or keep it simple with a logo in the middle of each!

Personalised interior: The inside of the box can be just as impactful - so why not print a message or design there too? And, depending on your products, consider custom foam inserts that securely hold whatever's inside in place, protecting it while in the box.

Branded and printed magnetic gift boxes

Next, let's take a look at the printing methods you can use for your personalisation/branding. Foil and digital printing are both great options here - but what actually are they?

Foil printing is the process of applying foil to a surface using heat and pressure, giving your magnetic box a really brilliant finished look. It's available with a gloss, metallic, foil, satin, or matte finish, but bear in mind it's limited to just the one colour. 

Digital printing, on the other hand, is where a digital-based image in applied to a box using UV ink. It allows the flexibility of full colour printing, giving you a true one-off as you can print stunning full colour logos, designs, and even photos!

Which should you choose to personalise your magnetic box? Both look great - it just depends on what kind of design you're going for. Do you want a single colour pattern, in shiny foil? Or does your design have a rainbow full of colours? For more on why you should choose foil or digital printing for different types of off-the-shelf packaging, check out our blog post here. Looking for something even more bespoke? We also do custom packaging at Tiny Box Company - we have our own factory in Cornwall to make whatever box size and style you like.

High-quality, magnetic gift boxes

While we're looking at the design of your magnetic box, it's well worth making sure they're top quality. Luxury boxes will help convey the quality of the products inside, so consider things like box thickness and finish when choosing. For example, at Tiny Box Company our luxury magnetic snap shut gift boxes are made from thick, rigid 1200gsm board (gsm is grams per square metre!) - making them more robust than a lot of standard retail packaging.

And don't forget about the different finishes you can have on your box, with options including matt, laminated, and ribbed. Each have different advantages when it comes to choosing your magnetic gift box - read more about how to choose the perfect finish for your magnetic box in our guide here.
