100 Magnetic Boxes for an Hourglass Gift Presentation

A technology-services business chose an hourglass-style gift for a presentation project. The packaging order called for 100 magnetic boxes with EVA foam, printing and matte lamination.

The 8.5 × 6.5 × 3-inch format placed a distinctive gift item within a branded enclosure.

An hourglass at the centre of the brief

The recorded contents were an hourglass or sand timer. That gives this project a more specific starting point than an unspecified gift assortment.

The item and its intended orientation matter to the interior arrangement. The order included EVA foam, bringing an internal insert material into the specification around that gift.

03

A rectangular enclosure with EVA foam

Magnetic closure defined the box style. The 3-inch depth and rectangular footprint established the surrounding format for the presentation.

The EVA foam and gift need to be considered together within the enclosure. The recorded specification makes the internal material a central part of the packaging discussion without relying on the exterior alone.

04

Matte-laminated branding around the gift

Printing carried the branding, with matte lamination defining a low-gloss finish. Those outer treatments surrounded the hourglass presentation and foam interior.

For this project, the item itself supplied much of the character. The printed box and matte surface formed the enclosing presentation around that specific gift.

05

A corporate-gift specification around a particular item

The order brought together 100 magnetic boxes, an 8.5 × 6.5 × 3-inch format and an EVA interior for hourglass gifting. Printing and matte lamination completed the specified exterior.

It illustrates the value of defining the actual gift early in a packaging brief. The object, orientation and insert material all contribute to the configuration.
