Overview For Bourbon Gift Box

This bourbon gift box is a two-piece magnetic structure built for premium bourbon, whisky, and dark spirits brands.

The outer shell is a book-style magnetic case wrapped in black leather-grain specialty paper; inside, a separate rigid inner sleeve holds the bottle and features a bottle-shape cutout window on its front face.

When the outer shell is closed, the cutout reveals the inner sleeve's gold-paper interior through a layered presentation that single-piece spirits boxes cannot match.

The front face of this bourbon gift box carries a three-process bottle silhouette decoration: gold hot stamping forms the metallic foil base across the bottle outline, screen-printed UV varnish overlays the black areas around the silhouette for contrasting gloss texture, and a 3D emboss raises the entire silhouette above the surrounding surface.

Three production passes, held in single registration.

Construction uses a 1,400 gsm greyboard core for both the outer shell and the inner sleeve, wrapped in 175 gsm black leather-grain specialty paper.

The inner sleeve interior is fully lined with 300 gsm gold-card paper.

The inner sleeve is glued to the base of the outer shell along the bottom and side edges so it stays anchored during transit and consumer handling.

MOQ is 1,000 units. Sample lead time is 5 to 10 business days after artwork confirmation.

The bottle is not supplied — the inner sleeve cavity is customised to your specific bottle dimensions on request.

Specifications

This bourbon gift box has external dimensions of 129.5 × 111.5 × 350 mm and a net weight of 739 g per unit.

The outer shell of this bourbon gift box is a book-style magnetic case using 1,400 gsm greyboard wrapped in 175 gsm black leather-grain specialty paper, with two pairs of recessed magnets positioned at the top and bottom of the opening edge for balanced closure force across the 350 mm box length.

The inner sleeve uses the same 1,400 gsm greyboard core wrapped in matching 175 gsm leather-grain paper externally, with 300 gsm gold-card paper fully lining the inner sleeve interior.

The inner sleeve is glued to the base of the outer shell along the bottom and side edges during final assembly.

The front face carries a three-process bottle silhouette decoration: gold hot stamping, screen-printed UV varnish on the black surrounding area, and 3D emboss on the silhouette outline.

The outer shell interior lining is hot-stamped with brand narrative text on the left flap; the inner sleeve exterior is hot-stamped with brand text on the side faces.

The combination of black leather-grain paper, gold-card lining, and three-process decoration creates a layered premium presentation designed for high-end bourbon and whisky gifting.

The custom inner sleeve cavity is engineered around the client's bottle dimensions, ensuring secure product positioning during storage, retail display, and export transit.

FSC-certified material options are available on request for brands requiring responsible sourcing documentation for international markets.

Materials & Finish

Material selection on this bourbon gift box is driven by the structural complexity of the two-piece assembly.

The outer shell and the inner sleeve are produced as separate boxes and assembled in a final bonding step.

Materials are matched between the two pieces so the leather-grain texture, paper finish, and registration of hot-stamped elements appear continuous across the assembled product.

3.1 1,400 gsm Greyboard Core (Both Pieces)

The outer shell and the inner sleeve of this bourbon gift box both use 1,400 gsm single-sided greyboard.

This weight gives the box rigidity for the 350 mm length without warping and provides the structural backing needed for the magnetic closure force across the long box.

The inner sleeve sees additional handling stress during the bottle insert and remove cycle — the same 1,400 gsm greyboard specification ensures the cutout window edge does not soften over repeated use.

3.2 175 gsm Black Leather-Grain Specialty Paper

The outer shell wrap and the inner sleeve exterior both use 175 gsm black leather-grain specialty paper.

The grain texture is press-embossed into the paper at the mill stage, so it survives lamination to the greyboard core without flattening.

Leather-grain paper reads as a premium material substitute in spirits packaging — recognisable as the standard finish across high-end bourbon, Scotch whisky, and cognac packaging in the export market.

3.3 Three-Process Bottle Silhouette Decoration

The bottle silhouette on the front face of this bourbon gift box is produced in three sequential production passes, all held in registration with each other.

First pass: gold hot stamping lays down the metallic foil base across the bottle silhouette area, creating the reflective gold layer.

Second pass: screen-printed UV varnish is applied selectively over the black areas surrounding and inside the bottle silhouette, producing a textured high-gloss contrast against the matte leather-grain surface.

The UV pattern catches light differently from the foil, adding a second visual layer on the same artwork.

Third pass: 3D emboss raises the entire bottle silhouette above the surrounding paper surface.

Emboss height is held at approximately 0.4 to 0.6 mm depending on the design detail.

The three passes register to within 0.2 mm tolerance — important because misalignment between foil, UV, and emboss is immediately visible at retail inspection.

The three-process build is the central decoration feature that differentiates this bourbon gift box from boxes using single-process decoration.

3.4 300 gsm Gold-Card Paper Interior Lining

The inner sleeve interior of this bourbon gift box is fully lined with 300 gsm gold-card paper.

The heavier weight (compared to 157 gsm used in mid-range packaging) gives the gold lining a substantial feel under hand — important because the gold paper is what the customer sees through the bottle cutout window when the outer shell is closed.

The gold-card layer carries additional hot-stamped brand text on the visible side faces of the inner sleeve.

3.5 Magnetic Closure (2 Pairs)

Two pairs of recessed magnets are positioned at the top and bottom of the opening edge of the outer shell.

The 350 mm length of the box means a single magnet pair at the centre would allow the top or bottom corner to flex open during transit; two pairs distributed top and bottom hold the closure force evenly along the length.

Each magnet is inset into a routed pocket in the greyboard before the leather-grain paper wrap is applied, so the magnets are invisible from the exterior.

Customisation

Every element of this bourbon gift box can be changed.Topvisio's 8-person in-house design team handles structural redesign in

Adobe Illustrator and CAD, with the first physical sample delivered 5 to 10 business days after artwork confirmation.

4.1 Bottle Format & Cavity Dimensions

The inner sleeve cavity is customised to your specific bottle dimensions.

Standard formats include square-shouldered 750 ml bourbon bottles, round 700 ml whisky bottles, magnum 1.0 L formats, and proprietary bottle moulds.

Send us bottle photographs with measurements, a CAD file, or a sample bottle and the inner sleeve cavity is engineered around it.

4.2 Cutout Window Shape

The bottle-shape cutout window on the inner sleeve front is one option.

Alternative window shapes include rectangular, oval, brand-monogrammed, or full silhouette of a custom bottle.

The window can also be omitted entirely if your brand prefers a solid-front inner sleeve.

4.3 Outer Colour & Texture

Black leather-grain is one option for the outer shell of this bourbon gift box.

We have produced this two-piece structure in brown leather-grain, navy leather-grain, deep green leather-grain, and burgundy leather-grain.

For matte non-leather alternatives, soft-touch lamination or matte coated art paper are substitutes.

4.4 Interior Colour

The 300 gsm gold-card paper interior is one option.

Alternatives include silver-card paper, copper-card paper, deep red lining, dark green lining, and matte black lining.

Pantone matching applies to coloured papers; gold and silver are limited to standard metallic stocks.

4.5 Decoration Process Combinations

The three-process bottle silhouette (gold hot stamp + screen UV + 3D emboss) is the standard decoration build.

Alternatives include single-process hot stamping, hot stamping + emboss (no UV), or hot stamping + UV (no emboss).

Each combination shifts the unit cost — the three-process build is the highest finish tier on this product family.

4.6 Inner Sleeve Branding

The hot-stamped brand text on the inner sleeve exterior and on the outer shell interior lining is fully customisable.

Position, font, foil colour, and content all redesign to your brief.

Multiple language versions can be produced in the same run if required for different export markets.

4.7 FSC Certification

FSC-certified production is available for this bourbon gift box.

Topvisio's production network holds FSC chain-of-custody and we manage the full documentation through to your retail partner.

FAQ (Ready for FAQ Schema)

Q1: What is a bourbon gift box?

A bourbon gift box is a rigid packaging structure designed to present and protect a bourbon, whisky, or premium spirits bottle in a brand-customised gift format.

Premium bourbon gift boxes typically use multi-piece construction (outer shell plus inner sleeve), leather-grain or specialty paper finishes, and combination decoration processes such as hot stamping, screen UV, and emboss.

The two-piece magnetic format with bottle window shown here is the standard premium structure across US bourbon, Scotch whisky, and international spirits packaging.

Q2: What is the MOQ for this bourbon gift box?

The minimum order quantity is 1,000 units for the standard configuration.

Lower-volume runs for distillery limited editions, single-barrel selections, or proof-of-concept builds can be discussed separately — contact us with the brief and we will work out a project-specific number.

Q3: How long does sampling take?

Sample lead time for this bourbon gift box is 5 to 10 business days after artwork and structural confirmation.

The longer end of the range applies when the three-process decoration requires new tooling for the foil, UV, and emboss dies.

Sampling fee is credited back against your production order.

The physical sample is produced in the exact same material and finish you will see in production.

Q4: Can this box be FSC certified?

Yes. FSC-certified production is available for this bourbon gift box.

Topvisio holds FSC chain-of-custody across our production network and issues full documentation.

Q5: Does Topvisio supply the bottle?

No. Topvisio produces the bourbon gift box only — the bottle is not supplied.

The inner sleeve cavity is customised to your specific bottle dimensions.

Send us bottle photographs with measurements or a sample bottle, and the inner sleeve is engineered around it.

This applies to standard bourbon and whisky formats, magnum 1.0 L formats, and proprietary bottle moulds.

Q6: Why does the inner sleeve have a bottle-shape cutout window?

The cutout window allows the bottle to be visible when the outer shell is closed.

The customer sees the bottle silhouette through the window without opening the box — useful at retail display, at corporate gifting where unboxing is delayed, and at duty-free where buyers identify the bottle visually before purchase.

The window shape is customisable, and can be omitted entirely for brands preferring a solid-front inner sleeve.

Q7: What is the three-process bottle silhouette decoration?

The front face of this bourbon gift box carries a bottle silhouette produced in three sequential decoration passes: gold hot stamping (metallic foil base), screen-printed UV varnish (high-gloss texture overlay on surrounding black areas), and 3D emboss (raised relief on the silhouette outline).

The three passes register to within 0.2 mm tolerance.

This combination is what differentiates this bourbon gift box from single-process competitors — visible at retail under any lighting condition.

Q8: What is the production lead time?

Standard production runs 25 to 35 business days after sample approval, depending on order volume and finish complexity.

The three-process decoration adds 3 to 5 days compared to single-process boxes due to additional emboss-and-foil registration passes.

Production is handled across Topvisio's Dongguan and Guangzhou network — 36,000+ m² total floor area, 14 automated rigid box production lines, 900+ trained staff.

Q9: Is master carton packaging available?

Yes. Topvisio supplies corrugated master cartons matched to the bourbon gift box dimensions for export shipping.

The master carton is quoted as a separate line item and is recommended for any export ocean freight.

Q10: What quality control checks does Topvisio run?

Three QC checkpoints per order on every bourbon gift box production run: incoming material inspection (paper, greyboard, gold-card paper, magnets, foil), in-production sampling (three-process registration, magnetic closure force, inner sleeve fit, foil adhesion), and pre-shipment full inspection (visual finish, weight per unit, magnet alignment, lamination integrity).

Independent third-party inspection is available on request.

All inspection records are filed against the order number and available for buyer audit.

Topvisio Packaging manufactures this product at its factory in Dongguan, Guangdong, China. Irregular and hand-assembled structures have a monthly production capacity of up to 200,000 units.
