Custom Gift Boxes for Electronics & Tech

  • From 100 boxes
  • $2.80 a box at volume
  • Free design

Tech buyers judge unboxing hard, and the product inside is fragile and expensive to replace.

Rigid and sleeve formats with cut to fit inserts, so the product sits still in transit and looks deliberate when it's opened.

Why this box

When gift boxes are the right call

Buy a gift box when somebody is giving the thing away rather than buying it for themselves. Presentation is the entire job, so a lid that lifts cleanly, a lining and room for a ribbon matter more than the board weight does. If it is going in the post on its own, put it inside a mailer.

How it is made

What happens on press

A lid and a base made as two separate pieces, printed or wrapped, then finished with whatever lining, ribbon or foil the design calls for. There is hand work in it, which is why the lead time runs longer than a flat format and why the price does too.

Sizes

Will your product fit?

Three sizes that cover most orders. They are a starting point rather than a menu, because every box is cut to your own measurements, so if your product lands between two rows we make the one in between.

What we'd suggest

What electronics & tech brands usually order

Sleeve boxes and rigid boxes with a cut to fit insert, usually one size per product rather than a range, and usually with somebody thinking hard about the order things are found in. Runs start small and get large quickly, so it is worth setting the artwork up as though the second order will be ten times the first.

Worth knowing

A mistake worth avoiding

Designing the box around the device alone. A cable, a manual and a charger all have to live somewhere, and a layout built for the product on its own has nowhere to put them. List everything that ships in the box, then build the box.

What you get

Why electronics & tech brands choose these

  • Lift off lid or magnetic closure
  • Ribbon, foil and embossing all sit well on it
  • Insert cut to hold a multi piece set
  • Sturdy enough to be kept and reused

Worth comparing before you order

Gift Boxes are not the only format that suits electronics and tech brands. These are the others we would put in front of you, and we will tell you if one of them is cheaper for what you actually ship.

Straight answers

Questions

If yours is not here, just ask. A real person reads every message and you will not get signed up to a mailing list for it.

Ask us anything

Why custom gift boxes for electronics and tech brands?

Tech buyers judge unboxing hard, and the product inside is fragile and expensive to replace. Rigid and sleeve formats with cut to fit inserts, so the product sits still in transit and looks deliberate when it's opened.

What is the smallest order?

100 boxes, which is a realistic first run for a growing electronics & tech brand. You get a proper printed box without committing to thousands of them.

What does a run actually cost?

Gift Boxes start at $2.80 a box at volume. A first run of 100 to 250 lands higher per box, because the setup costs the same whatever the quantity. Use the estimator on this page for a range, then ask for a real number.

Can you match our brand colors and finish?

Yes. We print in full color to match your brand, and offer finishes like matte, gloss, soft touch and foil. The design help is free. Colour on press is close to a screen rather than identical, so send a Pantone reference if you have one and we will hold to it as tightly as the process allows.

What artwork do you need?

A vector logo, so an AI, EPS or PDF file. If you only have a PNG, send it and we will tell you honestly whether it prints cleanly at that size. Redrawing a simple logo is part of the free design work, not an extra charge.

How long until they arrive?

Production on gift boxes runs 3 to 5 days once you approve the digital proof, then a few days in transit anywhere in the lower 48. If you have a launch date, tell us the date and we will say honestly whether it is possible.

Will I get exactly the quantity I ordered?

Usually, and plan for up to 10 percent either way. Over and under runs are standard across printed packaging, because sheets get used up getting the press dialled in. Tell us the number you cannot go below and we will run to that instead.

Can we start small and reorder later?

That is the sensible way to do it. Order 100 to prove the size and the artwork, then order properly once you know the box is right. We keep your artwork and your dieline on file, so a reorder is one message and the same box turns up again at the same specification.

What goes wrong most often on a first order?

Ordering before measuring. A box a few millimetres too big lets the product rattle around, and a box a few millimetres too small is scrap. Print our free dieline at full size, fold it around the actual product, then order. It costs an afternoon and it can save the whole run.

Do gift boxes ship flat or assembled?

Flat in almost every case, which is good news for your freight bill, because flat board packs tight and you are not paying to ship air. Rigid boxes are the exception: they cannot be knocked down, which is part of why they cost more to send.

Can we see one before we commit?

Yes, and you should. The sample pack is free, shipping is $9.95 flat and comes off your first order, and board thickness and finish are the two things a screen genuinely cannot show you. For a electronics & tech product the thing worth checking is how the board behaves at the size you actually need.
