When selecting materials for making gift box packaging, it is important to consider factors such as sustainability, 

cost, and appearance. Below are common materials used in gift box production and recommendations:


1. Hardboard materials

Hardboard is often used to make sturdy gift box packaging. This material can be classified into two types: single-ply 

hardboard and double-ply hardboard. Double-ply hardboard is thicker and more durable than single-ply, making it 

more suitable for carrying heavier items. However, double-ply hardboard is typically more expensive than single-ply, 

and suppliers will choose the most appropriate type of hardboard based on the client's specific requirements.


2. Paper materials

Paper is one of the most commonly used materials in gift box packaging. It is usually less expensive than hardboard 

and suitable for making small gift boxes. Paper materials can be classified into two types: single-layer and double-layer 

paper. Double-layer paper is thicker and more durable than single-layer paper, but in many cases, single-layer paper is 

sufficient when it cannot bear too much pressure.


3. Plastic materials

Plastic is an affordable and durable material for making gift box packaging. It can be made into transparent or brightly 

colored gift boxes, making the appearance of the gift box consistent with its contents. However, plastic materials may 

have negative environmental impacts, so it is best to choose biodegradable materials or, where possible, choose more 

eco-friendly materials.


4. Wooden materials

Wooden materials are popular for making high-end gift box packaging. They can be made into various styles and textures, 

making the gift box more unique. The cost of wooden materials is relatively high, so they are usually used for special occasions 

or specific purposes.


In general, gift box materials are varied and can be chosen based on the gift requirements and production volume. When 

choosing materials, it is important to consider the specific advantages and disadvantages, cost, and final appearance of the 

materials. Choosing suitable materials that can effectively protect the gift can enhance the overall quality and appearance of the 

gift box packaging.
