If your packaging seems like others, comes in an outdated design, or doesn’t comply with the event themes, how could you make your brand stand out on shelves? Absolutely impossible to stand out and impress customers.

This blog post shares 5+ types of custom Christmas boxes that could easily sell out in just a few hours.

5+ Types of Custom Christmas Boxes to Try this Christmas

1. Luxury Velvet Box

Limited-edition luxury velvet Christmas boxes are a perfect option for chocolate brands. How can this type of box be customised? The deep burgundy velvet exterior featured gold embossed snowflakes that caught the light beautifully. Inside, a magnetic closure revealed compartments lined with cream satin.

Why will it work? It delivers a tactile experience that very few brands are delivering right now. Moreover, they will let customers feel they are opening a luxury box rather than a simple chocolate box. This type of packaging is almost gifting in itself and is suitable for the target audience that demands luxury.

2. The Interactive Advent Calendar Box

Do you belong to a beauty brand? We have an impressive custom-printed Christmas box idea for beauty brands. You may create a Christmas box designed as an Advent calendar as a twist. Multiple finishing techniques can be used, all in one box with different compartments.

The genius move you can do is to number each compartment with gold foil stamping and include a small tag or card explaining how to use the packaging. By doing so, you will easily increase organic marketing with the help of customers’ unboxing videos throughout the season.

3. The Eco-Warrior's Dream Box

An event’s packaging is incomplete without giving a sustainable touch. Eco-consciousness is at its peak. Christmas packaging is manufactured completely from recycled materials like kraft paper base with botanical illustrations & soy-based inks.

These boxes target eco-conscious customers who prefer sustainability over luxury packaging solutions. As compared to common Christmas colours that almost every brand is using right now, the earthy green and red felt fresh. Moreover, you can imprint eco-friendly messages on the front or inside the box.

4. Christmas Gift Boxes with Lids

Custom Christmas gift boxes with lids are always an amazing idea. It’s the most popular option because it can be used for the packaging of different products and also makes food or bakery items fresh. There are unlimited designs for these boxes; you can choose from your own choice that best fits your brand personality.

You can have engraved lids with names or initials that make them look more appealing and customisable. From storing the items to giving as gifts, these boxes can be used for different purposes.

5. Nostalgia Box

Such a type of Christmas boxes lets customers remember older memories, while the younger target audience loves the vintage aesthetic. Bright primary colours, retro fonts, and illustrations of classic toys cover every inch of the box, so no space is left empty.

Nostalgia-themed boxes will be liked by a specific audience, not all, but when incorporated rightly, they will do wonders. The emotional storytelling experience is a type of experience that very few brands use this approach to increase holiday sales, so we think a better option is to get a competitive advantage.

6. The Surprise Element Box

Give your customers a surprise this Christmas with a surprise element box. Custom Christmas boxes with hidden compartments let customers into deep thought about what’s inside the box. You can change the whole box into a three-dimensional Christmas tree scene with pop-up elements when you add concealed ribbons.

This impressive design will have a serious wow factor that your customers might not forget ever. The amazing design behind the pop-up mechanism alone is a fabulous idea. Customers will definitely buy these types of boxes.
