Gift Boxes Thickness:
Gift boxes come in various thicknesses depending on your product type, presentation needs, and turnaround time. For same-day gift box printing, we typically use 400–600 micron folding box board (around 250–400 GSM), which is sturdy enough for light to medium packaging and can be customised quickly. For premium or rigid gift boxes with a 2–3 working day turnaround, we offer thicker boards ranging from 1000 to 1300 GSM (around 1200–1500 microns), ideal for luxury packaging, magnetic closure boxes, or high-end product presentations.
Below are some of the common gift box thickness standards by country in PT, microns, and GSM:

Gift Boxes Paper Types:
Gift boxes can be made using a wide range of paper and board materials like silk-coated, matt, gloss, uncoated, kraft, and more. For our same-day gift box printing in London, we typically use silk-coated folding box board – it offers a clean, smooth finish that sits perfectly between matt and gloss, making it a versatile choice for all types of gift packaging.
Below are some of the different types of gift box paper and their suitable uses, which we can produce with a 4–5 working day turnaround for more specialised finishes or premium boxes:
