Birthday Greeting Cards

Description

Greeting cards without the right box are just paper sitting on a shelf. A greeting card box that fits the card precisely, carries your brand on the exterior, and opens cleanly at the counter — that is what turns a $4 card into something a customer picks up over the one next to it.

Custom greeting card boxes from Packaging Ship are produced for greeting card brands, independent card designers, stationery retailers, and corporate gifting companies across the United States. Available from 50 units with no minimum order, no die charges, and free shipping on every order.

Which Greeting Card Box Format Is Right for Your Cards?

Different card products need different box structures. At Packaging Ship, custom greeting card packaging is available in four formats:

Tuck-End Folding Carton — the standard format for single greeting cards. Straight tuck-end or reverse tuck-end in 14pt to 18pt cardboard. Fits one card and envelope precisely with no movement inside. Full-color CMYK printing on exterior. Used by independent card designers selling at retail and online.

Birthday Card Packs and Card Set Boxes — a flat, shallow two-piece box or a sleeve format for birthday card packs of 6, 8, or 12 cards sold as a set. The top face is fully printable with the card set theme, occasion, and brand. Window option available to let buyers see the card designs inside without opening the box. Used by stationery brands selling birthday card sets and occasion multi-packs at wholesale to retailers.

Rigid Greeting Card Box — 2mm chipboard construction for premium single cards, handmade cards, and corporate greeting card programs where the box itself signals value. Magnetic closure or ribbon pull options. Used by luxury card brands and corporate clients ordering branded birthday card sets for employee or client gifting programs.

Mailer Box for Card Subscriptions — E-Flute corrugated mailer format for greeting card subscription brands shipping monthly card kits direct to consumer. Self-locking, no tape, inside face printable for branded unboxing. Protects cards from corner ding and moisture during transit.

Printing, Finishing, and Sizing

All greeting card box formats are available in custom sizes — from standard A2 and A6 card dimensions to large-format art card boxes. CMYK full-color printing at 300 DPI with Pantone PMS color matching on offset runs above 500 units. Finishing options: matte lamination, gloss lamination, soft-touch lamination, spot UV, and hot foil stamping in gold or silver for premium card packaging.

Custom cardboard inserts are available to hold cards upright inside the box, separate multiple cards in a set, and prevent shifting during retail display or transit.
