Gift Packaging
Planning custom gift packaging
These answers cover the main decisions involved in developing branded gift packaging. Specifications, quantities and testing requirements should be confirmed for each product before production.
What types of gift packaging can UGI manufacture?
UGI manufactures custom rigid boxes, folding cartons, paper bags, presentation boxes, jewellery and watch boxes, cosmetic packaging and other branded gift packaging. Structures can be developed around the product, presentation requirements and shipping method.
Can the size and structure be fully customised?
Yes. Sizes, lids, closures, compartments and inserts can be developed from product dimensions, reference samples or a packaging brief. A dieline or structural sample is normally approved before mass production.
What is the minimum order quantity for custom gift packaging?
MOQ depends on the box structure, material, printing and finishing. Most fully custom printed packaging projects start around 500–1,000 units, while certain structures or sample programmes may support different quantities.
What materials are available for gift boxes?
Options can include paperboard, greyboard, specialty papers, corrugated board, wood-based structures and a range of lining or wrapping materials. The final selection depends on product weight, appearance, protection and budget.
Can UGI design custom inserts?
Yes. Paperboard, corrugated, moulded pulp, foam and fabric-covered inserts can be developed to hold products securely. Insert material and tolerances are selected according to product shape, weight and presentation.
Which printing and finishing options are available?
Options include offset and digital printing, Pantone colour matching, matte or gloss lamination, soft-touch finishes, foil stamping, embossing, debossing, spot UV and specialty coatings. Availability depends on the selected material and structure.
Can I order a sample before production?
Yes. Blank structural samples, digitally printed samples and production-grade samples can be arranged depending on the stage of the project. Sampling helps confirm fit, construction, colour, materials and finish.
How long does custom gift packaging production take?
Standard custom production is generally 15–45 days after artwork, samples and order details are approved. Complex structures, specialist finishes, large quantities and peak-season schedules may require additional time.
How is gift packaging protected during shipping?
Export cartons, protective wrapping, internal dividers and palletisation can be selected according to the packaging structure and shipping route. Packing requirements should be agreed before production.
What information is needed for a quotation?
Provide the packaging type, product dimensions, required quantity, preferred materials, printing and finishing requirements, delivery country, artwork and any reference images. Product weight and packing method are also helpful for insert and transport planning.
