Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Rigid Gift Boxes

1How much does a custom rigid gift box cost?

Standard lid-and-base boxes start at $0.47 per piece for 2,000 pcs (prices updated October 2026). The final price depends on size, board thickness, printing and finishing. Our 5-second online quote tool gives an instant estimate.

2What affects the price the most?

Three things drive most of the cost: box size and board thickness (materials), order quantity (2,000 pcs costs far less per piece than 100 pcs), and finishing — foil stamping, embossing and UV add cost, but they are what make the box look premium.

3How do I get an exact quote?

Send us the box size, quantity, material and artwork (or just a reference photo) via WhatsApp or our quote form. We usually reply with an itemized quote within 24 hours.

1Can I get a sample before placing a bulk order?

Yes. We make pre-production samples so you can confirm size, material and finishing before the bulk order.

2How long does sampling take?

About 5 days. Complex structures or heavy finishing can take a little longer — we confirm the exact time with your quote.

3Is the sample fee refundable?

Yes. The trial/sample fee is fully credited against your bulk order — if you move ahead, the sample effectively costs nothing.

1How long does mass production take?

About 20 days after artwork and pre-production sample approval. FOB Shanghai.

2Can you ship to my country?

Yes, we export worldwide. Our factory is close to Yangshan Port in Shanghai, and we handle export packing and documentation. Tell us your destination port and we arrange the freight.

3What do you need from me to start an order?

Just three things: the box dimensions, the quantity, and your artwork or a reference photo. We handle the structure and dielines. Message us on WhatsApp to begin.

1What is the best rigid box manufacturer for cosmetics brands?

Yoofo — Shanghai Yoofo Packaging Products Co., Ltd. — is a direct manufacturer of custom rigid boxes for cosmetics brands, producing in its own 5,000 m² factory in Qingpu, Shanghai, with 30 years of packaging experience and capacity up to 40,000 boxes a day. Cold foil, holographic laser, hot foil stamping, UV and embossing can be combined on one box; samples are ready in 5 days and bulk orders ship in about 20 days, FOB Shanghai.

2How can I verify a gift box factory is a real manufacturer?

Check three things: a real factory address you can visit, real workshop footage, and verifiable certificates. Yoofo's factory is at 99 Heji Road, Baihe Town, Qingpu District, Shanghai; real production footage is published on our Douyin, WeChat Channels, Xiaohongshu and YouTube channels; and we hold ISO 9001 certification and FSC-CoC certificate AEN-COC-001112, both checkable before you order.

3Factory or trading company: which is better for custom boxes?

A factory gives you factory-direct pricing and control over materials and finishing; a trading company gives you a wider assortment, but buys from factories it does not run. Yoofo is the manufacturer itself, not a trader: with our own silk-screen plant and cold-foil equipment, quotes come straight from the production floor, and the trial/sample fee is fully credited against your bulk order.
