Custom Clothing Gift Boxes & Clothing Gift Packaging
Clothing is one of the most gifted categories there is, and it presents a problem no other product does. The item inside is soft, it has no shape of its own, and it looks flat and unimpressive unless the box does something about it. We produce a lot of clothing gift packaging at ZEE Packaging and making a folded garment look like a present is really the whole job.
Soft Products Need Structure
A clothing gift box has to give shape to something that has none.
- A rigid base so the garment sits flat rather than slumping
- Tissue wrapping, which adds a layer and lifts the presentation
- Depth matched to the fold, since too much space looks empty
- A belly band or ribbon holding the fold neatly in place
- Never overfill, because a bulging lid looks careless
- Fold the garment the same way every time for consistency
Most clothing gift packaging that disappoints is a box that was simply too deep for what went in it.
Fabric Needs Some Care
Different materials behave differently in a box.
- Knitwear compresses, so measure the folded stack not the flat garment
- Silk and delicate fabrics snag on rough uncoated board
- Tissue between layers stops colour transfer on light fabrics
- Leather and suede should not sit against bare board
- Anything with embellishment needs clearance so nothing presses on it
- Humidity causes creasing, so a coated inner face helps in damp climates
- Rigid lid and base the premium clothing gift box
- Magnetic closure box top tier clothing gift packaging
- Drawer slide box a slow reveal for a special piece
- Folding carton with a window retail formats
- Sleeve over a tray presentation at a lower cost
- Corrugated mailer with a printed interior ecommerce gifting
Sizes We Print Regular
Every clothing gift box is built to your garment, though these run often:
- 10" x 8" x 2" for a folded tshirt
- 12" x 9" x 2" for a shirt or blouse
- 14" x 10" x 3" for a knitted jumper
- 16" x 12" x 4" for a jacket or coat
- 8" x 6" x 2" for accessories and small items
- 13" x 10" x 3" for a two piece set
Have your packer fold a garment the normal way and measure that stack, since folding method changes the footprint entirely.

Frequently Asked Questions
How deep should the box be?
Just enough for your folded stack plus tissue. Too much depth makes the garment look small, which undermines the whole gift.
Will delicate fabric snag?
On rough uncoated board it can. A coated inner face or tissue wrapping prevents it, particularly with silk and fine knits.
Do you supply tissue?
We do, plain or printed. Plenty of brands order box, tissue and a sticker seal together so everything matches.
Should we add a window?
For retail, sometimes. For gifting we would usually skip it, since the reveal is part of what you are selling.
Will it survive shipping?
Rigid boxes need an outer mailer. Corners scuff quickly in a courier network, so we supply both together.
What is the price of a clothing gift box?
Rough estimate is $0.45 to $1.20 per unit for a folding carton, $2.00 to $4.60 for rigid with a wrap and $2.80 to $6.50 for magnetic closure at moderate quantity. Size moves it most. Shipping is included in our price. This is estimate only, so ask our team for a exact quote.
Can you print the inside?
Yes, and we push for it. Clothing unboxing gets filmed and photographed constantly.
