Customization Options
Closure Style
Telescoping lids, magnetic tabs and ribbon ties each give a different gifting feel, from classic to modern minimal.
Branding & Finish
Foil stamping, embossing and spot UV turn cardboard stock into a premium-looking gift box at a fraction of rigid-box cost.
Sizing for Gift Items
Boxes are built to fit jewelry, apparel, cosmetics sets, food gifts or multi-item gift bundles.
Quality & Material Sourcing
Board weight, flute grade and film thickness are checked against your approved proof before a run goes into production, and again during finishing, so color, structural strength and add-ons match what you signed off on. If a spec needs adjusting once you see a sample in hand — a heavier stock, a different lamination finish, a tighter or looser fit — we can revise it before the full run ships, rather than after a large order has already been printed.
Industries & Use Cases
Gift shops, cosmetics and jewelry brands, corporate gifting programs, and specialty food and beverage companies use cardboard gift boxes for an affordable, branded gifting presentation.

Why Wholesale Buyers Choose Crat Packaging
- Own US production facility — every box, including specialty stock, is made from scratch, never outsourced.
- No setup, plate, or die-cut charges on any order.
- Free design support from concept to print-ready proof.
- Low minimums and bulk pricing starting around $0.75 per unit, depending on size, material, quantity and finish.
- Standard 10–15 business day turnaround, with 8-day expedited production available.
Every order runs through our own quality checks before it ships, so the box you approve in the proof is the box that arrives. Because production happens at our own US facility rather than through a broker or outsourced print shop, our team can adjust a run mid-production, source a substitute stock quickly if a material is delayed, and give buyers a real answer on lead times instead of a generic estimate. That matters most for growing brands: a first order can start small, and reorders scale up on the same specs and pricing tier without renegotiating design or setup from scratch.

Yes, ribbon tie closures and other add-ons are available at no extra design charge.
What’s the minimum order?
100 units for cardboard gift boxes.
Can I see the gift item through the box?
Yes, a die-cut window can be added to any gift box style.
Have a spec that doesn’t fit a standard listing, or need a sample before committing to a full run? Our team is happy to talk through sizing, stock and finish options before you request pricing.
