Choose the Right Christmas Box Style
Different products need different packaging. These are the styles most wholesale customers choose.
Rigid Gift Boxes
Rigid boxes are made from thick, sturdy board wrapped in printed paper. They feel premium, hold their shape and are often kept and reused, which makes them ideal for luxury sets, jewellery, beauty gifts and high-value hampers. If your product sells at a premium price, a rigid box supports that positioning. Explore our rigid gift boxes.
Magnetic Closure Boxes
A magnetic lid closes with a satisfying snap and gives a high-end unboxing moment. They work well for corporate gifts, candles, skincare and anything where the opening experience matters. See our magnetic gift boxes.
Lid and Base Boxes
The classic two-piece box is simple, stackable and quick to pack. It suits clothing, chocolates, Christmas Eve sets and general retail gifts. Take a look at our Christmas boxes with lids.
Mailer Boxes
If your gifts are shipped to customers, a printed mailer box protects the contents in transit and doubles as branded packaging. Printing inside the lid lets you add a festive message the moment the box is opened.
Hamper Boxes
Hampers need depth and structure. We make hamper boxes with inserts and dividers to keep food, drink and gifts in place. Browse our Christmas hamper boxes.
Not sure which style fits? Tell us what goes inside and roughly how it will be sold or shipped, and we will recommend a construction.
Who Orders Wholesale Christmas Gift Boxes
Our Christmas packaging is used by:
- Gift shops and retailers building seasonal ranges.
- Online brands that want a festive unboxing experience.
- Subscription box businesses with a Christmas edition.
- Corporate gifting companies sending client and staff presents.
- Food businesses such as bakeries and chocolatiers (see our Christmas chocolate boxes).
- Children’s, clothing and beauty brands selling gift sets.
- Market traders and small makers who need smaller runs without a high minimum.
Because there is no strict MOQ, smaller businesses can order the same custom quality as larger retailers, scaled to what they actually need.
Christmas Eve Boxes Wholesale
Christmas Eve boxes are one of the most popular seasonal products. Families fill them with pajamas, books, small toys and treats to open the night before Christmas, and retailers sell them either empty or pre-filled.
We make Christmas Eve boxes in sizes that fit folded pajamas and books comfortably, with sturdy construction so the box survives being opened and kept. Printed designs can be playful for children’s brands or minimal for premium ones. For the full range, visit our Christmas Eve boxes page.
Your Branding, Printed Your Way
A generic box looks like everyone else’s. A custom Christmas box becomes part of your brand. You can print:
- Your logo and brand colours
- Christmas illustrations or patterns
- A festive message or a personalised greeting
- Your website, social handles or a QR code
- Product information or care instructions
- A printed interior for a surprise on opening
A children’s brand might choose bright illustrations. A luxury brand might use a restrained design with foil on the lid. Either way, our team will check your artwork and send a proof for approval before anything goes to print. If you would like to see ready-made inspiration first, take a look at our Christmas gift boxes.
Materials and Finishes
The right material depends on your product, budget and how the box will be used.
| Material | Best for | Main benefit |
|---|---|---|
| Cardboard (folding carton) | Light gifts, retail shelves | Flexible printing, cost-effective |
| Corrugated board | Shipped orders, heavier items | Added protection |
| Kraft board | Natural, Eco-minded brands | Distinctive, recyclable look |
| Rigid board | Premium gift sets | Strong, luxurious feel |
For finishes, matt lamination gives a soft, modern look, gloss lamination makes colours pop, spot UV highlights a logo or pattern, foil stamping adds a metallic accent, and embossing creates texture you can feel. A little finishing goes a long way. One well-placed foil logo often looks better than five effects competing on one box.
If sustainability matters to your customers, ask us about recyclable and Kraft options.
How to Choose the Right Box Size
Size is the most common thing people get wrong. A box that is too big looks empty and wastes money. One that is too small is hard to pack and can crush the contents.
Before requesting a quote:
- Measure each product (length, width and height).
- Decide how many items go in each box.
- Allow for extras such as tissue paper, inserts, dividers or a card.
- Add a small margin so the box closes easily without bulging.
- Think about how it will travel. Boxes that are posted need more protection than shelf displays.
Not sure about dimensions? Send us your products or measurements and we will suggest the right internal size.
Pricing: Tailored to Your Order
We do not use a fixed price list for wholesale because the cost depends on quantity, size, material, printing and finishing. Instead, we quote to your specification, and the price is open to discussion.
Every quote includes free UK delivery and VAT, so what we quote is what you pay. To get the most accurate price, send:
- Box type and size
- Quantity (or a couple of quantity options to compare)
- Printing (plain, one colour or full colour)
- Any finishes you would like
- Your delivery postcode
If you are comparing quantities, ask for two or three options side by side so you can see where the price per box drops.
From Quote to Delivery: How It Works
- Send your details. Product, size, quantity and artwork (or just an idea).
- Receive your quote. Tailored to your spec, with free delivery and VAT included.
- Approve your proof. We send a flat view or 3D mock-up. A physical sample is available on request.
- Production. Your boxes are produced over 15 working days from proof approval.
- Free UK delivery. Your boxes arrive at your door, ready to pack.
Plan Early for Christmas
With a 15 working day lead time, the date you approve your proof decides when your stock arrives. Retailers usually want boxes in hand well before December, so the earlier you start the better.
A few practical tips:
- Send your size and artwork early, even if details are not final.
- Request a sample if the box structure is new to you.
- Keep your artwork files ready (logo in vector format if possible).
- Order slightly more than you expect to sell. A second run will not arrive in time for the peak.
Once your proof is approved, we handle the rest.
Complete Your Christmas Packaging
Matching packaging makes your whole range feel consistent. Pair your boxes with coordinated Christmas gift bags for add-on sales, or explore our corporate gift boxes if you are gifting to clients and staff.
Wholesale Christmas Gift Boxes: FAQs
What is the minimum order for Christmas boxes wholesale?
There is no strict minimum order. We produce quantities that suit your business, from small seasonal runs to large retail orders. Larger quantities usually reduce the price per box, so ask for two or three quantity options and compare them before you decide.
Is delivery free and is VAT included in your wholesale quote?
Yes. Delivery across the UK is free and VAT is included in every quote. The price we send is the price you pay, with no shipping charge or surprise extras added later. Include your delivery postcode with your enquiry and we will confirm everything upfront.
How long does it take to receive custom Christmas gift boxes?
Production takes 15 working days after you approve your proof. Because Christmas is busy, send your size and artwork early. The sooner your proof is approved, the sooner your boxes are produced and delivered, so your stock arrives before your selling period begins.
Can I negotiate the price on a bulk Christmas box order?
Pricing is tailored to each order and open to discussion. Cost depends on quantity, size, material, printing and finishing. Share your specification and budget, and we will work with you on a price that protects your margins. Comparing several quantities often shows the best value.
Do you supply gift boxes wholesale in the UK all year round?
Yes. Our gift boxes wholesale UK range also works for Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, birthdays and corporate gifting. Many customers order a festive design for Christmas, then reorder the same box in plain or branded artwork for the rest of the year, keeping their packaging consistent.
Can gift wholesalers in the UK order custom boxes to resell?
Yes. Gift wholesalers and distributors across the UK can order custom boxes in bulk to resell or bundle with their own products. Tell us your quantities, box sizes and branding, and we will quote to your specification with free delivery and VAT included.
Can I order custom Christmas Eve boxes in bulk?
Yes. We make custom Christmas Eve boxes sized for pyjamas, books, toys and treats, with sturdy construction so they survive being opened and kept. Choose playful artwork for children’s brands or a minimal design for premium ranges. Send your product sizes and we will advise on dimensions.
What information do I need to send for an accurate quote?
Send your box type, size (length, width and depth), quantity, printing needs and delivery postcode. Artwork or a rough idea helps, but it is not essential at the start. Not sure of the dimensions? Send your product details and we will recommend a suitable internal size.
Can I see a proof or sample before the full order is printed?
Yes. You approve a proof before anything is printed, so you can check colours, layout and text. A sample is available on request if you want to test size, fit and quality first. Mention it when you enquire so it is planned into your timeline.
Which Christmas gift box style is best for my product?
It depends on your product and price point. Rigid boxes suit premium gifts, magnetic closures add a luxury unboxing moment, lid-and-base boxes work for general retail, and mailer boxes protect posted orders. Tell us what goes inside and how it is sold, and we will recommend one.
