Magnetic Closure Rigid Box

Custom Magnetic Closure Boxes Wholesale: Hidden Magnets for Cosmetics and Gift Boxes

How a magnetic closure works

A magnetic closure uses small magnets set into the box, one in the lid and one in the base. When the lid comes close, the magnets pull together and hold it shut. The magnets are hidden under the wrap paper, so the box looks clean. A magnetic closure gift box feels solid and gives a soft snap. A magnetic lid box can have the magnet in the front edge, in the sides, or in a flap. A magnetic snap box is the same idea in a smaller size. A box with magnetic closure suits cosmetics, jewelry, perfume, and gifts, since the lid stays shut in a bag or a drawer. Magnetic closure boxes for cosmetics are often chosen for the sound and feel of the close.

Sizes and how to measure

Box size is written as length x width x height, measured inside. Magnets need a certain lid weight and gap to work well, so very large or very small boxes may need a different magnet. Measure your product, add a small gap, and tell us the weight of the lid style you want. We choose the magnet to suit.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Cosmetic set: about 8 in x 6 in x 2 in
• Palette: about 6 in x 5 in x 1.5 in
• Perfume: about 5 in x 3 in x 5 in
• Gift set: about 10 in x 8 in x 3 in

Board, wrap, inserts, and finishes

Rigid boxes are built from thick, firm board wrapped in printed paper, so they hold their shape and feel substantial. The wrap can be matte, gloss, soft touch, textured, or kraft paper. Foil, embossing, and spot gloss add detail on the lid. An insert holds the product in place and can be cut to fit your item. The magnet strength depends on the lid size and weight. A sample kit lets you feel the board and test the fit.

Printing and finishing

Printing is done on the wrap paper before it is applied to the board, so full color artwork, solid colors, and fine detail are possible. Keep key text and logos inside the safe area on the dieline, away from edges and corners. Inside print or a lining paper is available. We set up the box on the free dieline, and you approve it before production. Keep logos away from the magnet area at the lid edge, so the wrap stays smooth.

Magnet position and lid styles

Magnets can sit in the front edge of the lid, in both sides, or in a flap. A lift-off lid uses magnets on the rim, and a flip lid uses magnets at the front. The position changes the feel and the strength of the close. We place magnets so the lid sits flat and the gap stays even. Tell us the style you like, and we confirm the magnets on the dieline.

Magnetic closure rigid boxes for cosmetics

Magnetic closure rigid boxes for cosmetics are a good fit for palettes, brush sets, and gift kits. A magnet keeps the lid closed in a bag, so the product stays safe. For the full range of magnetic box styles, see our rigid magnetic boxes page, which covers the style in depth. This page focuses on the closure and its options.

Labeling notes

Product boxes often carry text such as ingredients, net contents, directions, and warnings, and what is required depends on your product and your market. You supply all text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check text or claims, and you are responsible for making sure your boxes meet the rules for your product.

Orders from 50 units

Orders start at 50 units, which suits a new brand, a test batch, or a small giveaway. Larger orders cost less per box, and they can be planned in several sizes and designs. Share your expected yearly volume during the free consultation and we plan around it.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the box size, the shape, the cut line, and the safe area, so you can see where your artwork goes and where text should stay clear. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
