Here is where you can buy single or multiple samples of a Black A5 Shallow gift box.

Perfect for small brochures, invitations, photographs and other A5 printed materials and literature. Great PR mailing and product sampling boxes. Also ideal for chocolates, guest soaps and beauty products.

Black matt laminated finish throughout.
Fold flat construction that assembles instantly to a luxury quality rigid gift box.
Concealed magnetic full depth flap closure.
Discrete black grosgrain ribbon tab loop to easily identify the opening edge of the assembled gift box.
Slightly over-sized so A5 products will definitely fit inside.
Samples cannot be printed.
Samples are the same as bulk stock but may be from a different batch. If you plan to add your own insert, or your product contents are exact, please be aware of possible manufacturing tolerances.
Contact us prior to ordering bulk if batch matching is important.

1200g recycled greyboard (approx. 2.7mm thickness)
Covered fully inside and outside with 157gsm art paper flood printed black and with matte lamination.
Full depth front flap with 2 x concealed magnetic closures.
4 x sticky corners per box with easy-peel release paper coverings.
2.5cm x 1cm black grosgrain ribbon tab fixed on front bottom edge of closing flap.
Boxes are handmade and as a result dimensions may have a +/- 3mm tolerance.

If you'd like to add your own logo to our stock gift boxes, it's easy and results look stunning!

Visit our Printing Page for example print images and detailed information on the various print styles available. You can also click the 'Print on this Box' Icon on each Product Page.
Please DO NOT order boxes on line by adding to your basket and paying for them if you want a custom printed logo. Buying boxes on line is for plain unbranded stock only. If you order on-line, the boxes will be despatched without print and it may be too late to stop them if you e-mail us separately asking for print.
Complete the simple on-line print estimate for a quick price guide and follow the steps to submit your details and progress an order. Follow the highlighted link above, or go to the Printing Page and click the big pink button at the top of the page, 'Get a Printing Estimate'.
Adding a logo enables you to personalise stock gift boxes without the large volume commitment and long lead time needed for a fully made to order box.
24 boxes per size is the minimum and 144 boxes or more (boxes are all packed in 12's) is the most economic quantity due to fixed origination costs that apply, no matter how few or how many boxes are printed.
Printing is offered on all gift boxes available from stock. Mailing cartons cannot be printed.
Stock boxes are already manufactured, so printing options are limited to the outside and inside lid of the box only.
We can use foil, print ink to match a Pantone colour, or deboss your logo. Multiple print colours and CMYK print are also possible depending on registration, design complexity and box colour.
We can’t bleed print off the edges of the box, we need a min. 1cm - 2cm border from the outer edge of the print to the edges of the box lid.
Allow around 2-3 weeks for custom printing from receipt of useable artwork and payment to delivery of printed boxes. If you submit an on-line quotation via the estimate form on our printing page you will have the opportunity to specify the delivery date you would ideally like.

Foldabox gift boxes are manufactured from mostly recycled materials that account for approximately 92% of the product by weight.

The greyboard (the rigid board in sections under the paper to create the underlying structure of the box) is 100% recycled and certified.

The paper coverings using artpaper (black, white, pale pink and pale blue) and special papers for all other box colours are certified.

Natural kraft paper used on our Natural Kraft Gift Boxes is 60% recycled. It is not possible to use 100% recycled paper as it cracks on the joints.

The paper on white, black, pale pink and pale blue boxes has matt lamination. The paper on these boxes should ideally be removed before recycling.

Magnets should also ideally be removed before recycling the gift box.

Ribbons and decorative closures should be removed. They are recyclable but consider reusing or donating them before throwing them away.

Mailing cartons are made form 67% recycled materials and are fully recyclable.

Boxes are REACH compliant.

Our box factory has a SMETA 4-Pillar Audit.

Our warehouse is ISO9001, ISO14001, ISO22301 and ISO/IEC27001 accredited.

We only sell high-quality gift boxes that will be kept and used and retained for longer to minimise their environmental impact.

We only sell folding gift boxes because they have huge space-saving advantages and as a result are more eco-friendly. Folding gift boxes take up between 50% - 95% (depending on the box size) less space in storage and transport than an equivalent size non-folding rigid gift box.

Foldabox is committed to recycling and minimising our impact on the environment. Our focus is the 3 Rs:

Re-gift
Re-use
Re-purpose

Our boxes are specifically used as keepsake boxes and designed to be regifted, reused or repurposed for all sorts of useful storage around the home. Our aim is that gift boxes be put to good use for many years before they finally meet the end of their useful life. Do your bit and encourage your customers to regift, reuse or repurpose first and only recycle as the last resort.

Recycling is essential and should be at the forefront of everyone's mind. However, recycling is not carbon neutral. If we want to make a positive difference to our environment, then not throwing useful items away in the first place is the best option.

No one likes throwing away a nice box. Invest in good quality packaging that end users will want to keep and engage with your customers on innovative repurposing ideas to prolong your gift packaging lifespan for as long as possible.
