Assembly & Freight Specification
Approve the Fold, Finished Size and Packed Shipment Together
Compare the total packing operation rather than a photograph of a flat box. Include the insert, corner fastening, tissue and protective bag in the supplied-unit thickness. Then time the complete erection and filling sequence with the intended operator. A smaller inbound carton can be offset by extra labour, rejected corners or an insert that must travel separately. The worksheet below remains useful because it compares measured carton configurations rather than a promised saving percentage.
Erect, fill and close several samples using the proposed instructions. Look for lifting corners, bowed side walls and a flap that meets the magnets only after being forced. Reopen the packed unit to check whether corner fasteners remain attached.
AI-generated illustrative concept only; not a measured packing trial, assembly record or freight-savings result.
| Checkpoint | Supplier should state | Buyer approval |
|---|---|---|
| Assembly | Fold sequence, scored panels, magnetic flap and corner reinforcement | Open, square and close the sample repeatedly without panel lift |
| Dimensions | Interior/exterior finished size, supplied folded-unit length, width and thickness, plus insert clearance; keep dieline dimensions separate | Packed product fits with the intended presentation and protection |
| Transport | Flat or assembled basis, pcs/carton, carton L×W×H, gross/net weight, destination and Incoterm | Compare identical quantities, destinations and service levels using measured carton data for each format |
Download the blank flat-pack and assembled-carton worksheet (CSV). Record sample ID, revision, measurement date, packing mode, units per carton and measured outer carton dimensions. Carton CBM = L x W x H / 1,000,000,000 for mm, or / 1,000,000 for cm; total CBM is the sum across all cartons. Do not infer freight savings from CBM alone. Check the carrier's chargeable-weight rules and destination assembly work. Measure the loaded fit, select the insert and wrap, and use the same-specification quote comparison. Request a written specification review or compare the standard magnetic rigid format.
Request the folded-unit dimensions, units per carton, insert packing method and assembly sequence. Compare these with the assembled alternative at the same quantity and destination.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does a collapsible magnetic gift box save on shipping?
The box ships flat-packed and is assembled on demand, which can reduce shipment volume and storage needs compared with pre-assembled rigid boxes. The actual freight effect depends on carton dimensions, packed quantity, destination, and carrier rules.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for collapsible magnetic gift boxes?
The minimum order is 500 pcs per design and size. Confirm the wrap, finish, insert and quoted specification before sampling and production.
What finishes and decoration options are available?
Options include gold foil stamping, embossing, debossing, spot UV, soft-touch matte and gloss lamination, CMYK offset printing, and ribbon accents, all with a luxury magnetic closure.
How fast can LuxoPacks produce samples and bulk orders?
Confirm whether the sample is structural, printed or production-equivalent, then request its cost and timing. Bulk scheduling depends on material readiness, quantity and sample approval; use the dates confirmed for your project rather than a universal lead time.
How is a collapsible magnetic gift box assembled?
The flat-packed panels are opened along the scored fold lines, the side walls are squared and secured, and the magnetic flap is closed to check alignment. Approve the assembly sequence and corner finish on a physical sample before bulk production.
What dimensions should I provide for a collapsible magnetic gift box?
Provide the packed product length, width, height, weight and required insert clearance. Request interior and exterior finished dimensions, the supplied folded-unit length, width and thickness, and packed-carton dimensions. Keep opened-panel or dieline dimensions separate from the folded unit used for shipping.
What transport details should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm whether the quote is for flat-packed or assembled units, carton dimensions and quantities, gross and net weights, destination, Incoterm such as EXW, FOB or DDP, and any carrier or moisture-protection requirements. Freight savings depend on those inputs.
