Custom Christmas boxes are printed holiday boxes for gifts, hampers, bakery treats and seasonal retail lines. Urgent Boxes Canada makes them in Toronto in any size, from 12pt to 24pt cardstock, kraft, corrugated, or rigid stock.
Print your logo, a festive design, and Pantone-matched red or green on any panel. Add gold foil, spot UV, or rigid stock. Orders start at 100 boxes, with free design support and free shipping across Canada, with a window or a magnetic closure.
Standard production runs 7 to 8 business days after you approve the artwork. Order early: October and November are the busiest weeks of the packaging year. There are no die charges and no plate charges.
Custom Christmas boxes carry a brand’s holiday product from the production line to the customer. Bakeries, chocolatiers, candle makers, cosmetics brands and hamper companies order them every autumn.
Corporate gifting teams use the same boxes for client and staff gifts. Subscription brands run a one-month festive edition. E-commerce sellers switch to a printed holiday mailer for November and December.
The product inside stays the same. The box is what makes it look like a Christmas purchase rather than a regular one.
Size sets the fit and the price, so settle it before anything else. We cut any dimension in length, width and depth. These are the sizes Canadian holiday orders ask for most.
Measure your product, then add clearance on each side for tissue or an insert. A gift box packed tight looks cheap when the lid strains.
Send your dimensions with the quote request and we will draw the dieline from them.
Stock decides how the box prints, how it ships and what it costs. Five options cover almost every holiday order.
The “pt” number is board thickness in thousandths of an inch. 18pt cardstock handles most gift and treat boxes without flexing when filled.
Rigid board is the usual pick for corporate gifting, where the box is kept rather than recycled.
Style decides how the box opens and whether it can ship on its own. These are the shapes ordered most for Christmas.
A rigid gift box is a presentation box, not a shipping box. Sending one through a courier means putting it inside an outer corrugated shipper.
A printed E-flute mailer does both jobs in one, which is why holiday e-commerce runs usually go corrugated.
Printing runs from one artwork file across the whole order. Offset suits runs in the thousands. Digital suits 100 to 500 boxes and keeps short-run pricing sensible.
Print on the outside, the inside, or both. Inside print is worth the cost on a gift box, because that is the panel the recipient sees at the moment of opening.
Finishes available: matte lamination, gloss lamination, soft touch, spot UV, gold and silver foil stamping, embossing, debossing and PVC windows.
Foil stamping presses real metal leaf into the board with its own die, and it catches light. Metallic ink prints flat by comparison. We do not charge for the stamping die.
Christmas red is the hardest color to hold steady across a packaging run. CMYK builds red from magenta and yellow, so it shifts with press, stock and coating.
A Pantone spot ink is mixed to one recipe and stays constant across the whole order. Specify a PMS red if the box sits beside your existing packaging on a shelf.
Brown kraft changes the result again. Red and green printed on unbleached kraft come out muted and earthy, which suits rustic branding and defeats bright festive artwork.
Print the design without the year. Boxes left over in January are then usable next season instead of scrap.
Brands that date the artwork order tight and run out mid-December. Brands that leave it undated order a comfortable margin and carry the balance forward.
Add-ons finish the box after printing. Ribbons, magnetic closures, handles, hang tags and box inserts are the usual additions.
An insert holds a jar, a candle or a chocolate set still inside the box. Order inserts with the boxes so the cavity matches the contents exactly.
Wrapping paper and printed stickers can be produced in the same artwork round.
Work backwards from your retail launch, not from December 25. Canadian holiday selling opens around Black Friday, so filled stock has to be ready by mid-November.
Standard production is 7 to 8 business days after artwork approval. Add time for the quote, a proof round and shipping across the country.
Ordering in late September or early October is comfortable for a November launch. October and November are the busiest weeks of the packaging year, and press time tightens as the season closes in.
Rush Order production is available when the date is already close. Boxes ship flat, so plan storage space before the pallets arrive. Get a Free Quote.
The minimum order is 100 boxes. Per-box cost falls as quantity rises, so 1,000 boxes cost less each than 250.
There are no die charges and no plate charges. Design support, including 2D and 3D mockups, is free.
Price depends on size, stock, print coverage, finish and quantity. Send your dimensions and quantity to get a quote.
Christmas box orders ship free across Canada. Production and fulfilment sit in Canada, so no duty or tariff charges are added at the border.
That matters most in Q4, when cross-border freight slows and surprise charges land at the worst possible moment. Suppliers shipping from the United States pass those costs to you.
Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, Edmonton and Halifax orders all ship on the same terms. Our Toronto address is 200 Wellington Street West.
Urgent Boxes Canada holds a 4.9 out of 5 rating across more than 300 reviews.

Order in late September or early October for a mid-November retail launch. Production runs 7 to 8 business days after artwork approval, plus proofing and shipping. October and November are the busiest weeks in packaging, so earlier orders move faster.

Price depends on size, stock, print coverage, finish and quantity. No die or plate charges are added on top. Send your dimensions and quantity for a quote.
White cardstock between 16pt and 24pt holds bright red and green artwork best. Kraft suits natural and rustic branding but mutes festive colors. Rigid board is the usual choice for corporate gifting.
E-flute corrugated mailers ship on their own through a courier. Rigid and cardstock gift boxes are presentation boxes and need an outer shipper. Tell us how the box will travel and we will recommend the stock.
Yes. Logo, festive artwork, brand colors and messaging all print in the same run. Specify a Pantone color if the red has to match your existing packaging exactly.
No. Orders are fulfilled inside Canada, so no duty or tariff is charged at the border.
