Why Portland Businesses Choose Us
Why Choose Our Gift Boxes
Custom Gift Boxes That Make the Moment
Gift packaging is an emotional category — the box is part of the gift experience. Branded Boxes produces custom gift boxes across multiple constructions and price points, from premium rigid lid-and-base boxes for luxury brands to printed folding carton gift boxes for retail gift assortments. Every gift box we produce is designed to deliver the emotional impact that gift-giving requires.
Gift Box Styles We Produce
We manufacture the full range of gift box formats to suit every budget and brand tier. Our most popular gift box styles include lid-and-base two-piece rigid boxes for premium gifting, collapsible rigid boxes for brands that need flat-pack economics with rigid box aesthetics, and premium folding gift cartons for retail gift assortments. Each style is available with our full range of printing and finishing options.
Corporate Gifting Programs
- Bulk pricing for 500-50,000 unit programs
- Consistent brand execution across product assortments
- Custom sizing for specific product combinations
- Branded tissue, ribbon, and insert options
- Drop-ship and kitting services available
Choosing the Right Gift Box Construction
Gift box construction directly affects perceived value. A rigid lid-and-base box with magnetic closure communicates premium quality and is appropriate for products priced above $50. A premium folding gift carton with spot UV and foil works well for mid-tier retail gift products. A collapsible rigid box — which ships flat and snaps into a rigid structure — offers a cost-efficient middle ground for brands that need premium aesthetics without full rigid box pricing.
Seasonal and Limited Edition Gift Packaging
Holiday seasons drive the majority of gift packaging volume, and we help brands plan seasonal programs with adequate lead times. Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and corporate gifting seasons all require advance planning. Our seasonal design team can help you create limited-edition colorways, patterns, and messaging that create urgency and drive purchase decisions.
