What makes a pen box feel like a gift

A good pen is often given rather than bought for oneself, so its box is part of the gift. Custom pen boxes hold a pen in a fitted slot that keeps the barrel, clip and nib away from the walls of the box. Each box is made to your exact pen length and diameter, so a single pen, a pen and pencil pair or a pen with refills or ink sits neatly in place.

Rigid chipboard boxes with a magnetic lid, two-piece lid or slide drawer are the usual choice for custom pen gift boxes. Inserts can be foam with a cut-out, a padded slot or folded card, and a lower compartment can hold ink cartridges or a care card. For promotional pens and retail multi-packs, SBS paperboard tuck boxes or window boxes keep cost down and show the pen clearly.

Pen boxes look sharp with dark wraps, a single foil logo and a lining in a brand color. Personalized pen boxes for corporate gifts, graduations or retirements can add a name, date or message, printed or foil stamped on the lid. A customized pen box with name per recipient can be quoted as variable printing, or as a separate sleeve or card if that suits your order better.

FAQ

Custom Pen Boxes: questions answered

Still unsure? Ask a packaging specialist.

What kind of box is used for a gift pen?

Gift pens usually come in a slim rigid box with a magnetic, hinged-look or two-piece lid and a foam or padded insert. Drawer boxes are also popular. The insert is cut to the pen's length and diameter so it stays centered.

Can I get personalized pen boxes with names?

Yes. Names, dates and messages can be printed or foil stamped on the lid. For many different names, variable printing or personalized sleeves can be quoted. You approve a digital proof before production, so spelling and placement are checked first.

Can a pen box hold refills or ink cartridges too?

Yes. An insert can include extra slots or a lower compartment for refills, cartridges or a small ink bottle. Share the sizes of everything that goes in the box and the layout is planned around them.

Do you make pen boxes wholesale for promotional pens?

Yes. Vorex quotes pen boxes wholesale, including paperboard tuck and window boxes for promotional pens and rigid boxes for executive gifts. Send your quantity, pen size and artwork, and a specialist replies with pricing for each option.
