Checklist
Product and distribution inputs to collect
- Magnet performance
- Weight and caliper
- Tolerance stack-up
- Protection requirement
- Target quantity and SKU allocation
- Approval sample and decision owner
- Required date and Mainland China delivery point
- Change and repeat-order record
Structural decision
Four checks before freezing the structure
Magnet performance
Specify magnet size, polarity, pull force, concealment, safe spacing and closure feel after the box is fully assembled.
Weight and caliper
Check both basis weight and measured thickness because papers with the same gsm can differ in bulk, stiffness and converting behaviour.
Tolerance stack-up
Review how material, printing, die cutting, gluing and packed-product variation combine at final assembly.
Protection requirement
Translate fragility, weight, edges, movement and distribution hazards into cushioning, retention and closure decisions.
Execution method
Four actions from RFQ to production
Measure the packed product
Use production-representative product dimensions, weight and fragile areas.
Prototype the structure
Test fit, opening, closing, assembly and packing before visual artwork is final.
Test the distribution route
Include stacking, handling, e-commerce or retail conditions that the pack will face.
Release the matched dieline
Link the final geometry, material and approved physical sample as one standard.
FAQ
Questions buyers often ask
How should a magnetic-closure gift box be designed?
A magnetic gift box needs balanced board geometry, hinge movement, magnet pull, wrapped clearances, opening feel and packed-product weight.
What should be written in the specification?
At minimum, define Magnet performance, Weight and caliper, Tolerance stack-up, Protection requirement, then link quantity, sample, timing, inspection and the approved revision.
Is a physical sample needed?
A decision involving structure, material, colour, finish, assembly or use performance normally needs a physical sample matched to that question; a screen proof cannot approve everything.
Can the previous standard be reused for a repeat order?
Reuse a controlled standard only when files, material, structure, supply chain and use conditions remain unchanged. Record every change and decide whether resampling or reapproval is required.
