Magnetic Gift Box

A lift-off lid box (China, 300–500 unit run) lands around $2–4; a drawer-style box runs $3–6 due to tighter tolerance requirements; a magnetic closure box runs $4–8, driven by the embedded hardware.

Lift-off lid for the lowest cost and simplest use; drawer-style for a premium unboxing moment where the sliding action itself is part of the experience; magnetic closure for the highest-end feel where a clean, ribbon-free close matters.

Rigid boxes are typically built from 1.5–2mm greyboard wrapped in a printed paper or fabric outer layer; thicker board feels more premium and resists crushing better but adds cost and shipping weight.

Typically 300–500 units per size and print design, since both the rigid board wrapping and printing setup carry a fixed cost per design that needs volume to amortize.

Yes — placing the magnet and metal plate accurately requires an assembly step beyond standard box wrapping, which typically adds a small amount to both cost and lead time compared to a lift-off or drawer box.

A poorly toleranced drawer either binds and won't slide smoothly, or fits too loosely and slides open unintentionally during shipping. This is the main quality-control point to check samples for before committing to a full run.

Rigid paperboard gift boxes generally fall under HS 4819 (cartons, boxes, and cases of paper or paperboard). Confirm the specific subheading if the box includes non-paper hardware like magnets, since mixed-material construction can affect classification.
