NEON Packaging's Guide to Ordering and Designing Custom Boxes
Personalising your gift boxes makes them more attractive and memorable. Custom boxes also help corporations and small businesses boost the visual appeal of their product hampers to enhance brand recognition and customer loyalty.
Our comprehensive guide to ordering and designing custom boxes will help you maximise the potential of custom packaging for your business.
Where to start
The general rule of thumb before placing an order for printed boxes is to determine the size and amount of items you will be including. You also need to double-check the occasion or event when you’re preparing gift boxes.
Already have your design ready to go?
If you have your measurements, product and event details, and packaging design completely confirmed, you can now send us your logo or design to print on the internal and external sides of the lid.
Printing a carefully chosen design on your gift box will help align your hamper with the occasion being celebrated. It also shows that you took time to prepare your present boxes.
Types of boxes
NEON Packaging has several boxes designed to fit your gifting and business needs. These boxes are available in many sizes and colours, making it easy to find the box that suits your requirements.

A quick start guide to custom boxes
Custom boxes are a practical way to prepare wedding favours, corporate giveaways premium hampers, and PR boxes. You can choose the size to fit the quantity of products you’ll be including inside the box. It is also helpful for small businesses who want to widen their reach and increase their customer base. Using custom boxes for products make it more presentable and appealing, giving customers a good impression of your brand.

Ready to design your own box?
Let your packaging speak for your brand by printing your business’s logo and slogan. To ensure timely receipt of your print order, please note the following steps: Upon artwork approval, allow a processing period of 5-7 working days for your print to be completed. Additionally, plan for 2-5 business days for shipping, or coordinate pickup at our Ingleburn office.
Should your order include multiple items, they will be shipped together with your prints. If you prefer a split shipment, kindly reach out to us to make the necessary arrangements or consider placing a separate order.
Begin with a colour combination or pattern
Still undecided on a design? Explore different colour combinations to remove the monotony of a monochromatic box. You can pair a black box with peach or pink ribbons or a mint green magnetic box with white acid-free tissue paper.
Our premium customisable magnetic gift box comes in six colours, four colours for acid-free tissue paper, and five colours for satin ribbons. That’s a lot of colour combiantions!
However, if you want more vibrancy, patterns are an attractive design. You can explore checkered, animal print or striped patterns to make your gift box stand out from the rest.
