How thick should the board be?
Typical greyboard by box size. We confirm the board on every quote.
| Longest box side | Greyboard | Thickness | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| Up to 150 mm | ~1200 gsm | ~2.0 mm | Small panels stay rigid on lighter board |
| 150–250 mm | ~1500 gsm | ~2.5 mm | Stops the lid flexing on mid-size panels |
| Over 250 mm, or contents over 1 kg | ~1800 gsm | ~3.0 mm | Wine, hampers and apparel need the extra stiffness |
Size drives shipping more than you think
Couriers and air freight bill the larger of real weight and dimensional weight, so a box 20 mm too big can cost more to ship than the box itself. Foldable magnetic boxes ship flat and cut carton count sharply.
How to measure your product
Measure the product at its widest points, then add room for the insert and any tissue or card. Step-by-step guide: How to measure a gift box size.
Gift box sizing FAQ
In what order are box dimensions written?
Length × width × height, where height is the depth from the bottom to the opening. Give us inner sizes in millimetres if you can.
How much bigger than the product should a gift box be?
Usually 2–5 mm on each side when there is a fitted insert, more if you add tissue or a card. We set the exact allowance on the drawing before the sample.
How do I measure an irregular product?
Measure the widest point on each axis, including caps, handles and pumps — or send us one product and we measure it for you.
Can you work from my product instead of a box size?
Yes. Send the product size or a photo with a ruler, and we propose the box size and insert.
