In short
Custom magnetic closure boxes are book-style rigid boxes whose lid flap is held shut by magnets hidden under the wrap, giving a satisfying snap when they close. Box Sense makes them fixed or collapsible, to your size, from 10 boxes, with production in 8–12 business days after proof approval. Shipping is free to any address in the USA.
About our magnetic closure boxes
A magnetic closure box opens like a book: the lid is attached at the back and folds over the front, where a pair of magnets hidden under the paper wrap pulls it shut. The snap when it closes is a big part of why brands use it for PR kits, premium apparel, electronics, beauty sets and corporate gifts.
We make magnetic boxes as fixed rigid boxes or as collapsible boxes that ship flat and click into shape in seconds. Every box is made to your size and wrapped and finished with your brand, from 10 boxes.
Magnetic box options
Choosing the board
| Board | Best for | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Greyboard 1.5 to 2 mm | Small and medium boxes | Light and stiff |
| Greyboard 2.5 to 3 mm | Large boxes and heavy contents | Keeps the lid flat and the snap firm |
| Printed art paper wrap | Full-color branding | Laminated matte, gloss or soft-touch |
| Specialty colored or textured paper | Minimal luxury looks | Usually paired with a foil logo |
What affects the price of magnetic closure boxes
Every box is made to order, so each order is quoted individually. These are the things that move the price most, in order:
- Fixed or collapsible. Collapsible boxes cost a little more to make but much less to ship and store, which often makes them cheaper overall.
- Size. Larger boxes need more greyboard, more wrap and sometimes stronger magnets.
- Wrap and finishes. Specialty papers, foil, embossing and soft-touch add to the base printed wrap.
- Inserts and extras. Foam or paperboard inserts, ribbons and printed interiors each add to the unit price.
- Quantity. The unit price falls as quantity rises, though less steeply than for folding cartons because magnetic boxes are assembled by hand.

Collapsible or fixed?
A fixed magnetic box arrives fully built and has the firmest, most solid feel. A collapsible magnetic box arrives flat and folds into shape along pre-scored hinges, with magnets or adhesive tabs holding the sides. For larger boxes or orders that ship a long way, collapsible boxes can cut freight and storage space dramatically while looking almost identical once assembled.
Getting the snap right
The magnets are sized to the box and its lid flap so it closes firmly without being hard to open. Heavier lids and larger boxes need stronger magnets. We test the closure on your proof sample so the box opens and shuts the way you want before production.
How ordering works
