What is a flip box with magnetic closure?
A flip box with magnetic closure is a rigid box with an attached lid that closes against a magnetic catch. Rigid board gives the shell its shape, and the exterior is commonly wrapped in printed paper. The construction can include a base, hinged cover, magnet placement, and tray or insert. CPL's flip-top boxes with magnetic closure page is the direct product reference.
Magnets need alignment. If the lid closes off-center, the catch can miss; if the insert sits too high, it can stop the lid before the magnets meet. Treat the cover, closure, wrap, and interior as one assembled specification.
Which parts change the magnetic flip box quote?
The magnetic closure adds hardware placement and assembly work that a standard lid does not require. The quote should identify the rigid shell, lid movement, magnet position, cover wrap, interior support, print, finish, and quantity.
| Construction area | Question to answer | What it affects |
|---|---|---|
| Magnetic closure | Where should the magnets meet? | Hardware placement and assembly |
| Rigid shell | What panels surround the product? | Board direction and footprint |
| Cover wrap | Which surfaces carry the artwork? | Print, finish, and fold alignment |
| Interior support | Does the product need a tray or insert? | Components and fit work |
A product footprint is not enough by itself. The lid clearance and interior support have to be checked against the assembled package.
Does a magnetic closure cost more than a standard lid?
A magnetic flip box generally costs more to build than a comparable standard-lid box because it adds closure hardware, placement work, and assembly steps. The exact amount depends on the box footprint, rigid board, wrap, insert, finish, quantity, and other project details.
For a useful comparison, hold the footprint, artwork direction, interior support, and finish as consistent as possible. Then ask CPL to quote the magnetic and standard versions against the same brief. That isolates the closure cost instead of mixing several changes together.
What should a magnetic flip box proof show?
A digital proof is the pre-production view used to check artwork and construction before printing. For a magnetic flip box, it should show the lid open and closed, the hinge or score, magnet placement, cover wrap, interior support, product position, and closure clearance.
Request one assembled view when the package includes an insert. A separate picture of the box and a separate picture of the insert can hide a clearance problem. Check that the lid closes without hitting the product and that important artwork stays clear of folds and hardware.
Which CPL rigid box pages are useful references?
Rigid boxes with magnetic closure provide another rigid closure reference. Rigid boxes with sleeve and tray show a separate exterior and interior opening. Jewelry boxes with inserts show why the support structure belongs in the same specification as the outer box.
These pages help compare construction families. They do not set a universal size, material, or price for a new magnetic flip box.
What should a magnetic flip box order carry?
The request should name the product footprint, box format, lid movement, closure placement, interior support, artwork, finish, quantity, and delivery destination. Include a product photo or assembled dimensions when the shape is difficult to describe.
The MOQ is 100 units. Pricing is from $0.49 per unit at volume, quoted to spec. Production is typically 8 to 10 business days after proof approval, plus delivery. Free US shipping and free design support are available. Use custom packaging solutions if the structure is still being defined, then order the $19.99 sample kit to compare rigid materials and closure directions before approval.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is a magnetic flip box assembled?
A magnetic flip box is assembled from a rigid shell, attached lid, wrapped exterior, magnetic closure, and any tray or insert specified for the product. The magnets must meet when the lid closes, and the interior must leave enough clearance for the product. CPL's digital proof should show the assembled relationship.
Will magnetic hardware make a flip box more expensive?
Magnetic hardware can raise the quote because it adds magnets, placement work, and assembly steps. Compare the magnetic and standard-lid versions with the same footprint, artwork, finish, and interior support so the closure is the main changed variable. The final price is quoted to spec.
Can a flip box with magnetic closure include an insert?
A flip box with magnetic closure can include a tray, cavity, or insert when the interior support is included in the brief. Supply the product footprint and desired arrangement, then request an assembled proof that shows lid clearance, magnet placement, and the way the product sits.
What quantity can I order for magnetic flip boxes?
Custom magnetic flip boxes use a 100-unit MOQ. Pricing is from $0.49 per unit at volume, quoted to spec. The quote depends on the rigid shell, closure hardware, interior support, artwork, finish, quantity, and delivery details confirmed before proof approval.
When does magnetic flip box production start?
Magnetic flip box production is typically 8 to 10 business days after proof approval, plus delivery. Proof approval comes after the lid movement, closure, product clearance, artwork, material, finish, and quantity are checked. Free US shipping, free design support, and a $19.99 sample kit are available.
