A New Year gift box is more than "something that holds the gifts"—it is the first impression of your brand's quality in your customer's hands.
We provide one-stop advice on everything from box structures, paper stocks and inserts to gold foil stamping, embossing, UV and other finishes, ideal for corporate gifts, member rewards, event giveaways and year-end appreciation.
Just tell us: what the box will hold + the style you want + your budget and lead time, and we will recommend the most reliable solution directly.
Elegant, neat and reliable to produce; ideal for year-end appreciation and bulk distribution, with the best balance of cost and quality.
It feels "premium" the moment it is opened: ideal for VIPs, high-value orders and member rewards.
Ideal for tea bags, coffee, gift vouchers or small items: everything has its place for a clean presentation and more secure transport.
| Box Style | Features | Suitable Uses |
|---|---|---|
| Rigid lid-and-base gift box Most popular and dependable |
Sturdy and substantial; simple to open and close, making cost and quality easiest to control. | Corporate gift boxes, year-end appreciation and general festive sets. |
| Book-style magnetic box Strongest sense of occasion |
Offers an excellent unboxing experience and suits "brand presentation"; ribbon, seals and inner display cards can be added. | VIP gift boxes, premium clients and limited-edition brand anniversary sets. |
| Drawer box (slide-out box) Most convenient for multi-item sets |
The pull-out structure is engaging and practical; an insert can secure multiple products. | Gift vouchers + small items, product sets and staff gifts. |
| Outer sleeve (optional) Instant visual upgrade |
Add an outer sleeve for more complete brand information; it can also serve as the "cover" before opening. | For a more complete brand presentation or a more "retail-packaging" look. |
Tip: A premium result does not always require extensive finishing. Usually, the "right box style + white space + selective gold foil stamping" is already enough to make an impact.
| Option | Effect / Feel | Recommended Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Rigid-box structure Paper-wrapped greyboard (popular) |
Keeps the box rigid and compression-resistant; ideal for giving gift boxes a substantial feel. | For a dependable choice, a rigid box always feels more like a "gift" than a folding carton. |
| Lamination (matte / gloss) Protection + visual style |
Matte lamination looks more premium and is easy on the eye; gloss lamination is brighter. | Matte lamination is common for corporate styles; choose gloss lamination when illustrations or colours need to pop. |
| Gold / silver foil stamping Fastest route to a "luxurious" look |
Foiling the logo, greeting or border creates an instant focal point. | We recommend applying it only to "focal areas" for a clean, substantial result. |
| Embossing / texturing A tactile brand impression |
Express the brand through touch: understated yet highly memorable. | Emboss the logo or pattern and pair it with matte lamination for an excellent result. |
| Spot UV Photogenic without being ostentatious |
Selective gloss catches the light and adds depth; more refined than gloss lamination across a large area. | Ideal for a dark background + spot UV, or UV lettering as a hidden greeting. |
Provides the strongest hold and excellent protection; ideal for wine, glass bottles, fragile items or high-value goods.
Clean, eco-friendly and cost-effective; ideal for tea bags, biscuits, coffee, gift vouchers and small-item sets.
The brand story, greeting or product list is visible as soon as the box opens, improving its sense of completeness and appeal as a gift.
Tip: The last thing you want is for everything to scatter when the box opens—well-designed inserts immediately elevate the recipient's first impression.
| Item | Recommended Approach | Common Mistakes |
|---|---|---|
| File Format | We recommend AI / PDF (retaining vectors and layers); AI is the most reliable format for special finishes. | Submitting only JPG/PNG makes finish registration difficult. |
| Colour Mode | Please use CMYK. | RGB may result in colour differences. |
| Bleed / Safe Area | We generally recommend a 3mm bleed; keep text and logos at least 5mm from the trim line for greater safety. | Text too close to the edge and very thin lines may cause problems after trimming. |
| Gold Foil / UV / Embossed Areas | Place finishing areas on a separate layer, using 100% K pure black (or a spot colour); vector artwork is ideal. Fine lines should be ≥ 0.25mm. | Gradients, halftones or transparency can make the edges look untidy. |
| Dieline / Structure | If you do not have a dieline, we can recommend a box style and dieline based on the dimensions of the contents; layout is more reliable after confirmation. | Starting the layout before confirming the content dimensions will inevitably require major revisions. |
(If you only have a logo + an idea, you can still WhatsApp us. We will first help you decide on the box style and finishing direction.)

Your gift's packaging does half the talking. This guide compares four common Christmas gift-box styles — the pillow box, the mailer (airplane) box, the two-piece lid-and-base box, and the rigid magnetic-closure box — ordered from budget to premium, so you can match the box to your gift, your budget, and how many you're handing out.
There's still time for one last festive print run. We share a few standout Lunar New Year pieces from recent months — red packets in red-and-gold and champagne gold, an embossed creative envelope, a laser-cut Fai Chun and matte-gold greeting cards — each rated for wow factor and design difficulty. Custom printing across Hong Kong and Macau.
With corporate red packets, what usually goes wrong isn't the design — it's a finished piece that doesn't look polished: messy foil edges, clipped text, or the HK$1,000 note that won't fit. This guide covers the three things that get it right: size to the largest note, choose one hero finish (foil or embossed foil), and hand off your foil, emboss and die-cut areas as layered, solid-colour vector artwork. Plus a five-mistake checklist and a one-minute pre-flight.
