Box type
Custom Magnetic Closure Boxes
A magnetic closure box opens with a controlled pull and closes with a soft click. The magnets are buried inside the board, so the outside stays clean and the lid aligns every time. It is the format buyers associate with unboxing videos and premium gift sets.

Construction options
Each option changes the dieline, the assembly time and the unit cost. We quote the two that fit your brief rather than all four.
Option 2
Clamshell magnetic box
Two equal halves hinged at the spine, opening flat like a book. Good for layered presentations.
Option 3
Magnetic box with drawer
Magnetic lid over a sliding tray, for products that need a two-stage reveal.
Option 4
Magnetic box with ribbon pull
A ribbon tab lifts the insert or the tray, so the product rises as the box opens.

Magnetic Closure Boxes: questions before ordering
How strong are the magnets?
Magnet grade and count are matched to the box size and the weight the lid has to hold. For large lids we use bar magnets instead of discs so the pull stays even along the closing edge.
Can magnets be hidden completely?
Yes. The magnets sit between the greyboard and the wrap, so nothing is visible from either side. Magnet positions are marked on the dieline before production.
Is a magnetic box suitable for e-commerce shipping?
It is a presentation box, not a shipping carton. For direct-to-consumer shipping we normally pair it with a corrugated outer mailer sized to the box.
What is the minimum order?
500 pcs per size, the same as every other box type we produce.
