Custom Magnetic Boxes
Custom magnetic boxes are rigid gift boxes built from 1200-1800gsm grey board wrapped in printed paper and closed by hidden neodymium magnets for a flush, book-style snap. YiZhou Packaging manufactures them fully custom – size, board weight, printing, inserts and finishing – from 500 pieces, with a free 2D/3D design proof before sampling.

Magnetic Box Structures & Closure Types
Every custom magnetic box is built on the same principle: a 1200-1800gsm grey board shell wrapped in printed paper, closed by hidden neodymium magnets. The structure you choose changes how the box opens, how it ships and how it feels in the customer’s hand.
| Structure | Shipped | How It Opens | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| Book-style magnetic box | Assembled | Hinged lid opens up to 180 degrees | Perfume sets, cosmetics, jewelry |
| Folding magnetic box | Flat-packed | Folds up, magnetic flaps lock the walls | E-commerce, freight-sensitive orders |
| Collapsible magnetic box with ribbon | Flat-packed | Ribbon pull releases the magnetic lid | Large gift sets, unboxing content |
| Two-piece magnetic lid & base | Assembled | Lid lifts off, magnets align the rim | Heavy bottles, multi-piece kits |
Book-Style Magnetic Box
A hinged rigid box that opens like a hardcover book. Two to four hidden magnets hold the front flap flush with the base, and an optional ribbon pull adds a tactile reveal. This is the most requested structure for perfume, cosmetics and luxury gifting.
Folding Magnetic Box
A collapsible rigid box that ships flat and folds into shape in seconds. Magnetic flaps lock the walls, which can cut freight volume for large orders by up to 70% while keeping a premium rigid feel.
Collapsible Magnetic Box with Ribbon
The folding magnetic box finished with a satin or grosgrain ribbon, which doubles as the opening cue. Popular for large gift sets and e-commerce unboxing.
Two-Piece Magnetic Lid & Base Box
A separate lid and base, each wrapped in printed paper over grey board. Magnets are mounted in the lid rim and the base wall for a soft, secure snap that stays aligned in transit.
Materials, Board Weight & Magnet Specifications
Grey board weight is the single biggest driver of how rigid a magnetic box feels. We stock 1200gsm, 1500gsm and 1800gsm grey board; heavier board resists warping and keeps large lids flat over time.
| Component | Options | Detail |
|---|---|---|
| Grey board core | 1200gsm / 1500gsm / 1800gsm | Recycled grey board; 1800gsm is recommended for lids wider than 200mm |
| Wrap paper | 157gsm coated paper / speciality paper / kraft | Printed first, then wrapped and laminated over the board |
| Magnet | N35-N52 neodymium, 2-6 pcs per box | Hidden inside the board; roughly 1.5-3.0 kg holding force per magnet |
| Closure | Hidden magnetic closure / magnetic flap | Flush-lid snap, optional satin ribbon pull |
| Insert | EVA foam / moulded pulp / paperboard / satin tray | Die-cut or hand-fitted to hold the product |
| Printing | CMYK offset, Pantone spot colour | Exterior only, interior only, or both sides |
| Finishing | Matte / gloss lamination, soft-touch, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing, debossing, laser cut | Combinations available on the same box |
| Certification | FSC® Chain of Custody (FSC-C179946) | Recycled board and soy-based ink options |
| Minimum order | 500 pieces | Low-MOQ trial runs available for startups |
Custom Printing, Finishing & Insert Options
Because the grey board is wrapped rather than printed directly, almost any decorative effect can be applied to a magnetic box: full-colour CMYK offset printing, a single Pantone spot colour, soft-touch or matte lamination, spot UV, hot foil stamping, embossing, debossing and laser-cut windows. Interiors are often printed in a contrasting colour to frame the product, and inserts can be die-cut EVA foam, moulded pulp or a satin-lined tray.
- Printed surfaces: exterior only, interior only, or both
- Foil colours: gold, rose gold, silver, copper, black, holographic
- Add-ons: ribbon pull, satin ribbon, magnetic flap, window, custom foam insert, divider
- Sustainable options: FSC®-certified board, recycled paper wrap and soy-based inks
