Client gift box pricing
Client gift box pricing guide
What branded gift boxes for clients actually cost — how per-box pricing works, what goes in each tier, and the real per-item ranges behind the number.
Last updated
Quick answer
A branded client gift box is priced per project, not per sticker price: the per-box cost is the sum of the items inside, plus assembly and kitting, custom packaging, and per-recipient shipping. Choose an essentials, standard, or premium mix of contents; we itemize every box in a free quote before you commit.
A client gift box is bespoke, so instead of a made-up flat price this guide shows the two things that are real: the delivered per-item ranges the box is built from, and the tiers of contents you can choose. For a worked 50-box example with a typical per-box range, see our client gift box cost guide, and for the same curated approach as an internal program, our client gifts solution.
What the items in a gift box cost
A box's price starts with its contents. These are our delivered per-unit ranges at a 50-unit minimum — decorated, with standard US shipping to one address included. Per-unit cost falls further at 100 and 250+.
| Item | Per unit (from 50) |
|---|---|
| Tumblers | $13–20 |
| Water bottles | $12–18 |
| Ceramic mugs | $6–10 |
| Canvas totes | $5–9 |
| Laptop sleeves | $10–15 |
| Backpacks | $20–32 |
On top of the contents, a finished box adds custom packaging and per-box assembly, plus per-recipient shipping if you send to individual addresses. Those are quoted per project — see the bulk merch price index for every item's ranges across quantities.
Gift box tiers by contents
Three common ways to build a client gift box. The contents set the per-box price, so pick the tier that fits the impression you want and your per-recipient budget — we'll quote the exact number.
Essentials
A thoughtful, on-brand thank-you that covers the basics.
- Custom tumbler or mug
- Branded notebook or sticker
- Simple branded box or mailer
Standard
A step up that a client keeps on the desk.
- Insulated tumbler or bottle
- Canvas tote or laptop sleeve
- Notebook & a small extra
- Branded box with a printed card
Premium
A standout unboxing that lands with a key account.
- Premium backpack or apparel
- Insulated drinkware
- Notebook, pen & extras
- Fully custom branded box
Contents are examples, not fixed bundles — mix any items from the catalog. Because the per-box price is bespoke, we quote it on your exact contents, packaging, and shipping rather than posting a flat tier price.
What drives client gift box cost
The items
The biggest factor by far. A premium backpack and an insulated tumbler cost several times more than a mug and a notebook, so the pieces you choose set the floor for the whole box.
Quantity
Per-unit cost drops as quantity rises, because one-time decoration setup spreads across more pieces. A larger send lowers the per-box price on every item inside.
Assembly & kitting
Each box is hand-packed: items collated, arranged, and finished before it ships. That assembly labour is a real per-box cost, separate from the contents.
Custom packaging
Packaging ranges from a simple mailer to a fully branded box with printed inserts and tissue. The nicer the unboxing, the more it adds — it's one of the main levers between tiers.
Per-recipient shipping
Shipping to one address is cheapest. Sending boxes to individual client addresses adds per-package handling and postage, so we quote it on top of the box cost.

Client gift box pricing FAQ
There is no single fixed price — a gift box is quoted on the items you choose, the assembly, the packaging, and per-recipient shipping. The item ranges below come straight from our delivered per-unit pricing, and our client gift box cost guide walks a 50-box example end to end so you can budget with real numbers.
An essentials box pairs one hero item with a small extra and simple packaging; a standard box adds a second or third piece and a nicer box; a premium box centers on a high-end item like an insulated tumbler or a backpack in a fully custom branded box. The contents set the price, so we build to your target per-box budget.
Yes. We assemble each box and ship to individual addresses anywhere in the US. Per-recipient shipping is quoted on top of the box cost — sending to many addresses adds per-package handling and postage, so we price it separately and clearly rather than burying it.
