CLOSURE & CONSTRUCTION

Custom Magnetic Boxes

Choose the closure. Then choose the construction.

Plan a magnetic-flap presentation around the opening feel, product support and delivery format. A magnetic closure can be part of a fixed or collapsible rigid box; it does not tell you how the box ships.

Quotation follows a specification review. Sample scope and fees are agreed separately.

A starting brief for your quotation

Quantity
Share pieces per size and artwork. The feasible quantity is confirmed against the structure and finish.
Samples
Choose material, structural or printed sample review. Availability, fees, revisions and sample shipping need agreement.
Production
Scheduling follows the approved specification and commercial terms. Confirm the production window for the actual order.
Delivery
Confirm packing, destination and required arrival. Production time excludes transport; freight and destination responsibilities need separate agreement.

Your written quotation defines the scope and exclusions for the actual project. Check delivery responsibilities ↗︎

START WITH THE CONSTRUCTION

Two constructions. One closure question.

Choose the presentation that suits your product. We can develop the structure, insert and finish around the details you share.

Fixed rigid with a magnetic flap

A formed box with a hinged cover and magnetic closing flap.

What we will check
Check flap alignment, hinge movement, product clearance and assembled packing volume.

Discuss this direction ↗︎

Collapsible rigid with a magnetic flap

A folding rigid structure with magnetic closure, subject to assembly review.

What we will check
Confirm connection points, who assembles it and whether the insert ships separately.

Discuss this direction ↗︎
THE MATERIAL & FINISH BRIEF

Materials & print finishes

Explore the surface and print effects you want. We will check the combination against your chosen structure and sample.

Board, paper & surface

Review the rigid board, wrap, hinge and closing flap together. Check how the intended finish crosses folds and how the closure components are incorporated.

Compare board and surface directions ↗︎

Print & finish

Discuss printed areas, colour references and the intended finish, such as foil or an embossed detail. Mark each finish on the artwork and confirm its compatibility with the selected paper before approval.

THE BOX & INSERT TOGETHER

Inserts & product fit

Define product support without obstructing the hinge or closing flap. Check removal and the closed box with the full set of products.

Compare insert directions ↗︎
Discuss your box and insert ↗︎

Include in the discussion

  • Product dimensions, units and weight; include every item in a set.
  • Contact points, orientation and how the product is lifted out.
  • Proposed insert material, assembly and the checks a sample should support.
  • Whether the quote includes the insert, development and its packing.

Standalone insert orders need a scope review. A fitted display sample does not by itself establish transport performance.

Use the insert preparation guide ↗︎
CHECK THE SUPPLIER FOR YOUR PRODUCT

Can YDP support this packaging?

Start with base construction, hinge and magnet alignment. Then see the relevant work, manufacturing route and order steps.

01 / RELEVANT WORK

Have we documented similar work?

No approved public project record is available for this packaging direction yet. Ask what comparable sample or project information can be shared for your brief.

Ask for relevant evidence ↗︎
02 / MAKING & CHECKING

Who makes it and how is it checked?

No approved production record specific to this packaging direction is published yet. Review the factory scope and ask which route applies to your order.

Review Factory & Quality ↗︎
BEFORE YOU COMMIT

What must be agreed before production?

Build these checkpoints into your project agreement. Inspection scope, timing, fees and remedies are confirmed for each order.

Factory responsibilities & quality checkpoints ↗︎

Will the order match the sample?

Make the approved reference identifiable.

Agree the sample version, materials, artwork, finish and product-fit checks. Record which differences remain between a development sample and production.

Record to agree

Versioned sample scope, approval record and production specification.

Discuss this for my order ↗︎
Can this support my launch date?

Separate production from transport.

Work back from the required receiving date. Confirm approval dependencies, dispatch assumptions, freight scope and destination responsibilities before committing.

Record to agree

Approval milestones, dispatch plan, shipping exclusions and receiving requirements.

Discuss this for my order ↗︎
What happens if a quality issue appears?

Agree a clear route to a reviewed resolution.

Keep the order reference, affected quantities, carton labels and photographs. Agree containment, investigation and the proposed disposition against the order specification.

Record to agree

Issue record, supporting evidence, agreed corrective action and reinspection where applicable.

Discuss this for my order ↗︎

BEFORE THE QUOTE

A brief built
around the actual product.

Share a photo or drawing, dimensions with units, quantities per design and the destination. Leave unknown details open.

Request a quote ↗︎

Closing feel

Share a reference for how the flap should open and close. Review alignment and the complete filled sample; a magnet is not a shipping lock.

Hinge and artwork

Identify the spine, fold areas and artwork orientation in both open and closed positions. Agree the printed sample before production.

Contents and packing

Describe any product constraints around the closure components. Review the fitted product and outer protective packing separately.

BEFORE WE START

The practical questions.

Are all magnetic boxes collapsible?

No. Magnetic describes the closing mechanism. Fixed and collapsible construction must be specified separately.

Does the magnetic closure secure a parcel in transit?

Do not assume it does. Review the complete protective packing and intended shipping conditions.

Can I choose a finish before the structure?

You can share a finish reference early. Its placement and feasibility depend on the selected paper, hinge and construction and need sample review.
