Custom Magnetic Closure Boxes
Custom magnetic closure boxes are luxury rigid setup boxes built from thick non-bending chipboard wrapped in printed paper, with a hinged lid that closes over the front wall and locks with magnets hidden inside the board. Brands use them for perfume, jewelry, watches, cosmetics, spirits, and corporate gifts. Order from 50 boxes in 10–14 business days (rush 4–5), with free design help and free US shipping.
What are custom magnetic closure boxes?
Custom magnetic closure boxes (also called magnetic flip-top or hinged rigid setup boxes) are two-part luxury packages built from dense, non-bending gray chipboard (1.5 mm to 3.0 mm thick) wrapped inside and out with printed art paper or kraft paper. Unlike thin folding cartons, a magnetic rigid box starts with a solid four-wall base tray whose corners are V-grooved at 90 degrees and locked with stay tape. A continuous hinged outer cover bonds to the bottom and back wall of the tray, spans across the top opening, and folds down over the front wall as a rigid closure flap. Before the paper wraps are laminated on, pairs of thin neodymium disk magnets are recessed into pockets in the front tray wall and front flap so the lid snaps shut with a clean click. At CubitPack, custom magnetic closure boxes start at 50 units and take 10–14 business days.
How is a magnetic closure rigid box built?
A V-grooved rigid chipboard base tray is bonded inside a hinged outer cover, with rare-earth magnets recessed into the board before the printed paper wrap is applied. Here is how the two-part structure works. Whether your team calls them luxury magnetic boxes, printed magnetic closure boxes, custom printed magnetic closure boxes, magnetic closure boxes with logo, branded magnetic closure boxes, wholesale magnetic closure boxes or bulk custom magnetic closure boxes, every sheet is cut to your exact inside dimensions.
- 1Four-wall rigid base tray
Dense chipboard V-grooved at 90 degrees and corner-stayed to form an unyielding product cavity. - 2Hinged spine and top lid
Continuous outer cover attached to the back wall and floor of the tray so the lid opens like a chest. - 3Front magnetic closure flap
Extends from the front edge of the lid and folds down over the front tray wall to close the box. - 4Concealed neodymium magnets
Pairs of flat rare-earth magnets recessed inside pockets in the front flap and front tray wall. - 5Outer wrap and inner liner
Printed and laminated paper wrapped over the board with 15–20 mm turn-in margins, hiding all magnets.

Magnetic closure box design ideas
Example designs with made-up brands. Your box is made to your design.
What are the most common magnetic closure box mistakes?
Most issues come from measuring outside ruler dimensions or leaving too little foam border around heavy bottles. Watch out for these five. For buyers ordering personalized magnetic closure boxes, custom size magnetic closure boxes, magnetic closure boxes with four-wall rigid base tray, magnetic closure boxes with hinged spine and top lid, luxury rigid magnetic closure boxes or wrapped chipboard magnetic closure boxes, watch out for these common sizing and artwork mistakes
- Measuring the outside of a sample box instead of the usable inside tray cavity. Two layers of 2 mm chipboard and the hinged outer cover add 0.25 to 0.35 inches to the outside size.
- Leaving less than 0.4 inches (10 mm) of EVA foam border around the product cutout, which lets heavy glass bottles compress the foam rim.
- Zero vertical head clearance above the product. Leave 1/8 inch (3 mm) between the tallest point of your bottle or jar and the underside of the lid so the front magnets snap shut with full force.
- Using only two center magnets on a wide 12-inch+ box. Step up to four magnets (two pairs near the left and right corners) whenever Length exceeds 10 inches.
- Placing deep metal debossing directly over the recessed magnet pockets on the front flap. Keep deboss dies at least 0.5 inches clear of the magnet circles.

A US business you can checkMagnetic closure box questions
What is a magnetic closure rigid box?
A luxury setup box made from thick non-bending chipboard (1.5 mm to 3.0 mm) wrapped in printed paper, with a back-hinged lid that folds over the front wall and locks shut using rare-earth neodymium magnets hidden inside the board.
Are the magnets visible on the outside or inside of the box?
No. The magnets are recessed into die-cut pockets inside the chipboard of the front tray wall and the overlapping front flap before the outer and inner paper wraps are laminated on, leaving every surface completely smooth.
What is the difference between a standard magnetic closure box and a collapsible rigid box?
A standard magnetic closure box has a permanent four-wall V-grooved base tray and arrives pre-assembled in 3D ready to pack immediately. A collapsible rigid box has scored folding side walls and adhesive corner locks so it ships flat to save storage space.
Can you make a custom EVA foam or card insert for my product?
Yes. Select EVA foam insert, EPE foam insert, or Card insert in Step 2 of the quote form and share your product dimensions or mail us a physical sample. Our structural team engineers the exact cutout well and includes it on your proof.
Can I print on both the outside wrap and the inside lid?
Yes. Because the outer case wrap and the inner liner are printed as separate flat sheets before lamination, you can combine full-color CMYK, Pantone, foil stamping, and soft-touch lamination on both the exterior and interior.
How do I measure Length, Width, and Height for a magnetic closure box?
Always give the usable inside dimensions of the rigid base tray: Length (left-to-right width across the front magnet wall) × Width (front-to-back depth toward the spine) × Height (inside vertical tray depth). Add at least 0.5 inches per side if using a foam insert.
What is the minimum order quantity?
50 boxes for custom magnetic closure rigid boxes. Larger runs lower the unit price, and you can quote 50, 100, 250, 500, or 1,000+ units directly in the form.
Can I combine multiple designs or colorways in one order?
Yes. Pick 2 designs or 3+ designs in Step 2 of the quote form and list your colorways or SKU names in the notes. Your account manager quotes the combined run together.
How long does production take?
Standard turnaround is 10–14 business days after you approve your digital proof and complete payment. Rush production in 4–5 business days is available at an extra cost quoted per order.
How are magnetic closure boxes delivered?
Your account manager confirms packing and pallet details with your written quote.
