You just needed to slightly lift the lid and then it closed with a silent click. That brief interaction tells you a little about what is inside.

Magnetic closure boxes give the impression to your brand. They highlight your product, ensure it gets to your buyer in the same state it left you, and make people care before they even get a glimpse of what's inside. Here's how they accomplish both.

How a Magnetic Box Works

Smaller magnets are embedded in the lid and base. The two halves stick together tightly. Joined without tape, string or glue. Since the majority are constructed from solid board covered with printed paper, they have a hard, satisfying feel in the hand.

Some common types are magnetic lid boxes, a flip off lid sits on top, book style opens with a magnetic lid flap, small magnetic box rings, lip balm and samples fit in. Magnetic storage boxes are great for gifts and keepsakes.

Presentation That Starts With the First Touch

Consumers form an impression before they even try it. Tight, clean closure shows you pay attention.

• No mess. You don't need anything to keep the box closed.
• A grand finale. It's all in the clicking.
• Yours for the perfect look. Custom box printing may be on the lid, inside of lid and the base.
• A memory door. Customers keep the box, so your logo is in their house.

Luxury magnetic closure boxes also include effects such as foil, embossing, spot gloss and soft touch coating. When a velvet or foam insert is used, the product looks like it belongs in a display case. This is one of the many reasons brands opt for custom magnetic closure boxes. The box is integrated into the product story.

Protection That Does Its Job

A gorgeous crushing box does nobody any good. Because of the strength of the board, luxury magnetic closure rigid boxes maintain shape even when you pile them up in a warehouse or cram it into a luxury gift bag.

Magnets hold the lid in place so it won't spring open if the box is jostled. An insert prevents product from rolling around. Foam secures delicate products such as fragrance bottles and electrical equipment, while paper or velvet makes lighter items such as jewellery and candles easier to carry.

The most honest advice we can give after packing is to make sure the box is sturdy enough for it to be its own package but pair it with a shipping carton to send it via parcel delivery. Outer box plus inner box keeps your corners clean and your finish pristine on arrival.

Styles That Match Your Brand

Custom magnetic closure rigid boxes is a broad category with a lot of scope. Matte black, navy blue and standard white are right at home in the cosmetics and jewellery market. Kraft magnetic gift boxes wrapped in a natural paper are perfect for candles, handmade soap, and tea. Magnetic closure gift boxes also make the perfect holiday gift box.

Mention sustainability. Customers ask for eco-magnetic gift box packaging made from recycled board and paper wraps. Recycled boxes are a little more difficult to recycle because of the magnets, but customers are happy to keep a nice box in circulation for years.

Quick Checks Before You Order

Test fit your product, leaving approximately an eighth of an inch at each edge. Use thicker board for heavier products. Match your board thickness to your weight requirements.

Select the right kind of insert. Use foam for fragile items, paper or velvet for lighter articles. Test the magnets. Close and open the box a few times. It should be snug, not stiff.

As you know, colors and finishes don't always look the same in person as they do on a screen. Big run in your future? Going into a big run? Wholesale custom magnetic boxes help decrease your per-box cost as the quantity increases.

Wrapping Up

A magnetic box does two things. It safeguards whatever is inside. And it provides an opportunity for customers to see it and feel it. Begin with your product size. Choose an aesthetic that complements your brand. Incorporate a finish that appeals to consumers.
