Printed boxes that turn an invitation into something people keep. Rigid or folding styles hold cards, envelopes and small keepsakes for weddings, launches, galas and milestone birthdays, with inserts, ribbons and foil details sized around your card stack.
Your time is very important to us so we have kept it short.
An envelope gets opened and forgotten. Boxes are different. People open them slowly and then they tend to keep them, which is really the whole argument for event invitation boxes, you put the card in there with the RSVP and maybe a little map, a favor, or (for a launch) a sample of the actual product.
Weddings, obviously. But we also get event planners, brands mailing launch invites to press, and the odd company with a big annual gala. Most come to us after realizing that a nice card gets bent in the mail, and that the guest list deserves something with a bit more weight.
The size usually starts with the card. Common invitation sizes like A7 (5 by 7 inches) fit nicely in a shallow box with a little margin, and our standard envelope sizes guide helps if you’re still picking a card format. Then think about what else goes in. A stack of three cards is thin. Add a candle, a bottle or a favor and the box gets deeper fast.
For weddings specifically, our wedding invitation boxes are worth a look, and the wedding cards boxes suit couples who want a simpler box just for the card set.
Lift-off lids are the classic style. Lid comes up and there’s the card, sitting on a little raised platform or tucked under a ribbon. A magnetic flap swings open like a book cover, which people seem to love, and then a slide-out drawer is the fun one because the card shows up a bit at a time as you pull.
A small practical point. If the invitation has a wax seal, pressed flowers or a thick layered card, make the box a few millimeters deeper than you think. A lid that presses down on a wax seal will crack it, and there’s nothing sadder than a broken seal at the top of a beautiful box.
Most wedding boxes we make are rigid board wrapped in a textured or pearly paper, and honestly that’s the one that feels the fanciest in your hands. Sending 400 invites for a corporate thing? Heavy cardstock or SBS paperboard does the job and ships flat till you fold it.
A board or foam insert can give a mini bottle or a favor its own little pocket. On the outside, people mostly ask for gold or silver foil, embossed initials, soft-touch. Names? Put them on a separate card or sticker, so every box in the run is printed the same.
Minimums are low, often around 50 boxes depending on the style, which suits most guest lists, and the price per box drops as you order more. Our team sets up the dieline and lays out your artwork for free, checks it for print issues and sends a digital proof. A physical sample is available on request, which we’d recommend if you’re mailing them.
Once the proof’s approved, give us 10 to 12 business days. Count back from the day you want them in the mail and add a bit of slack. Ground shipping in the USA is free. See more styles in our invitation packaging category, or tell us about your event.
They’re tough, but the wrap paper scuffs in the mail. We’d pop each one in a plain mailer or a padded sleeve.
A touch bigger than 5 by 7 inside, so fingers can get under the card. Depth depends on what else you include.
Yes, the simplest way is a printed name card or label on top, so the boxes themselves can be printed as one run.
