Today I’d like to introduce two types of double-door boxes. One is a double-door gift box, which is characterized by its sturdy shape but cannot be folded, resulting in relatively high packaging, transportation, and storage costs. The other is a double-door card box, which is characterized by its lightweight design and ability to be completely flattened, saving on storage and transportation costs.
1. Similar appearance , lower cost
The most direct advantage of double-door card boxes is their cost. Traditional double -door gift boxes, in pursuit of a premium feel, typically use heavy materials, which increase production costs, and their weight also adds to transportation and storage expenses. In contrast, double-door card boxes use lighter but durable cardboard, maintaining the ceremonial feel of the double-door design while reducing costs . For the same size, a double-door card box is 35%-60% cheaper than a standard double-door gift box . This makes it a more desirable choice for businesses.
2. Save on shipping costs and be more environmentally friendly
Compared to the bulkiness of traditional double-door gift boxes, this double-door card holder is remarkably lightweight and can be completely flattened. Ten flattened double-door card holders equal one double-door gift box, significantly reducing warehousing and shipping costs for businesses. Its lightweight nature also minimizes packaging damage during transport. For environmentally conscious businesses and consumers, a standard double -door gift box weighs approximately 150g , while this same double -door card holder weighs only 80g, requiring less raw material and resulting in lower carbon emissions during transportation. Made entirely of environmentally friendly materials, this double-door card holder is 100% recyclable and biodegradable after use , further reducing the burden on the planet.
3. Multiple processes are available for customization.
The double-door card holder has a smooth, flat surface, making it ideal for customization without the high decoration costs associated with bulky gift boxes. It supports various printing processes.
- CMYK : Printing brightly colored logos, patterns, or product images.
- Hot stamping (gold / silver ): Creates a “high-end at an affordable price” feel through subtle gold and silver accents.
- Embossing / embossing : Add texture to brand logos or core information to enhance tactile appeal without adding weight.
Like the gift box , the card box uses high-end printing equipment to ensure the printing quality of the box. No matter what kind of packaging pattern, it can be perfectly presented, enhancing brand recognition.
When should we consider a double-door gift box?
Double-door gift boxes are suitable for high-end luxury products and items requiring significant load-bearing capacity, such as jewelry, luxury watches, and premium whisky sets. For these products, the heavy materials and plush lining of the box enhance the perceived value. However, this type of box cannot be flattened, resulting in relatively high warehousing and transportation costs. For 90% of brands , especially everyday retail brands, double-door card boxes offer the best balance between cost, functionality, and brand marketing .
Conclusion: Choose the most suitable packaging based on the product.
Choosing between double-door card boxes and gift boxes is not a matter of “settling for second best , ” but rather selecting the packaging that best suits your business needs. If you are a brand that values quality and is not concerned about shipping costs and storage space, double-door gift boxes better reflect your brand value. If you want both the unboxing experience of a double-door box and cost savings, double-door card boxes are more suitable for you.
