Acrylic Box Types at a Glance
Acrylic boxes are not one product — they are several use-verticals built from the same material. The six most-ordered formats are gift boxes, shadow boxes, storage boxes, shoe boxes, flower & rose boxes, and donation & ballot boxes, plus fully custom-size boxes. They differ mainly in opening mechanism, interior configuration, and intended use — a gift box uses a magnetic lid and velvet insert to stage an unboxing, while a donation box uses a slotted top and lockable rear door for tamper resistance. The reference below shows the typical setup for each; every box is custom-built, so your dimensions, panels, and interior are engineered to your spec at an MOQ of 100 pieces.
| Box type | Typical opening | Typical interior | Best for | MOQ | Lead time |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gift box | Magnetic lift-off, hinged | Die-cut foam or velvet insert tray | Luxury packaging, cosmetics, jewelry, corporate gifting | 100 pcs | 15–20 days |
| Shadow box | Open-front, removable back | Velvet-wrapped backing, mounting hardware | Jerseys, medals, dried flowers, keepsake display | 100 pcs | 15–20 days |
| Storage box | Lift-off or hinged lid | Removable divider grid, compartments | Visible, dust-free organizing; retail and office | 100 pcs | 15–20 days |
| Shoe box | Drop-front magnetic door | Open cavity, interlocking stack ridges | Sneaker walls, footwear retail, collections | 100 pcs | 15–20 days |
| Flower & rose box | Magnetic lift-off, open-top | Hidden water reservoir or floral foam | Fresh and preserved flower presentation gifts | 100 pcs | 15–20 days |
| Donation & ballot box | Slotted top, lockable rear door | Open body, branded header panel | Fundraising, voting, suggestions — tamper-resistant | 100 pcs | 15–20 days |
| Clear box | Lift-off, hinged, or lidless | All-clear panels, optional dividers | See-through storage, containers, gift & retail packaging | 100 pcs | 15–20 days |
| Custom & branded box | Any of the above | Any configuration + logo/print | OEM programs, private-label, branded unboxing | 100 pcs | 15–20 days |
| Custom-size box | Any of the above | Any configuration | Any dimension or use case not covered above | 100 pcs | 15–20 days |

Clear Acrylic Boxes
Searching for a plain clear box — see-through storage, a clear container, a clear gift box, or clear retail packaging? Clear acrylic boxes are the most-requested format because full transparency does the selling: contents are visible from every angle, so the box shows the product instead of hiding it. We build all-clear boxes in any size, with lift-off, hinged, or lidless construction, optional dividers, and diamond-polished edges that keep the panels optically clear rather than cloudy. Frosted and colored panels are available when you want to mix in an accent, but clear is the default.
| Spec | Options |
|---|---|
| Use cases | Storage, containers, gift boxes, retail & product packaging |
| Construction | Lift-off lid, hinged, sliding, 5-sided open-top |
| Interior | Empty, divider grid, foam or velvet insert |
| Edges | Diamond-polished for optical clarity |
| Panels | All-clear standard; frosted or colored accents optional |

Acrylic Boxes with Lids
An acrylic box with a lid can close six common ways, and the right one depends on how often the box is opened, whether it needs to seal, and how premium the open-and-close should feel. Lift-off lids are the simplest and cheapest — the lid sits on or telescopes over the base. Telescoping lids overlap the wall for a snugger, dust-resistant fit. Hinged lids stay attached so nothing gets set aside or lost. Snap-fit lids click into a molded lip for a secure hold without hardware. Magnetic lids give a clean, hardware-free luxury closure — the format most gift and premium boxes use. Lockable lids add a key or hasp for donation, ballot, and secure-storage boxes. Every closure is built to your box at an MOQ of 100 pieces, and we recommend a format once you tell us the contents and how the box gets handled.
| Closure format | How it works | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Lift-off lid | Separate lid rests on or telescopes over the base — no hardware | Storage, low-cost gift and packaging boxes |
| Telescoping lid | Lid overlaps the box wall for a snug, dust-resistant fit | Protective storage, presentation boxes |
| Hinged lid | Lid stays attached by a piano or integrated acrylic hinge | Countertop, retail, and repeat-access boxes |
| Snap-fit lid | Lid clicks into a molded lip for a secure hold, no hardware | Small parts, favor and container boxes |
| Magnetic lid | Embedded magnets create a clean, hardware-free closure | Gift, cosmetics, jewelry, premium unboxing |
| Lockable lid | Key lock or padlock hasp secures the lid or rear door | Donation, ballot, secure-storage boxes |
Deciding between closures? See the Acrylic Box Lid & Closure Types Guide for the full breakdown of fit, cost, and use case — or configure any closure on a branded box via our custom & branded acrylic boxes.
Box Construction & Interior Design
Custom acrylic boxes — including acrylic boxes with lids for gifting, storage, and retail — are built with four opening mechanisms (hinged, sliding, magnetic, sealed), three panel compositions (all-clear, mixed-panel, opaque with window), and custom interior configurations (dividers, foam inserts, velvet lining). Box construction determines how contents are accessed, displayed, organized, and protected.
Opening Mechanisms
Hinged Top
Lid attached by piano hinge or integrated acrylic hinge. Opens fully for loading and unloading. Stays connected — nothing to lose or set aside.
Best for: storage boxes, donation boxes, retail counter boxes
Sliding Drawer
Front or side panel slides out along precision-grooved tracks. Keeps the box dust-tight when closed. Pull to access, push to seal.
Best for: gift packaging, under-shelf storage, display-and-access combinations
Magnetic Lift-Off
Lid separates completely from base. Embedded magnets create a clean closure with no visible hardware. Set the lid on, magnets lock it in place.
Best for: gift boxes, shoe boxes, flower boxes, premium packaging
5-Sided Box (Open Top)
Four walls and a base — no lid. Contents are always accessible from the top. The simplest, most cost-effective box construction.
Best for: countertop organizers, pen holders, planter boxes, catch-all containers
Panel Composition
| Type | Description | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| All-Clear | Every panel is transparent. Contents fully visible from all angles. | Storage boxes, shoe boxes, display-forward applications |
| Mixed-Panel | Combination of clear + frosted, colored, or mirrored panels. Typically: colored base/sides + clear lid or front. | Gift boxes, flower boxes, branded packaging |
| Opaque + Window | Solid-color body with one or more clear panels for selective visibility. | Donation boxes (clear front, opaque sides), luxury packaging |
Interior Configurations
Shadow Box — Deep Recess
Open-front 5-sided box mounted to wall. Deep side walls (3–8 cm) create a recessed display space for jerseys, medals, dried flowers, and keepsakes.
Gift Box — Insert Tray
Magnetic lid + die-cut foam or velvet insert tray shaped to cradle the exact product. The insert creates a luxury unboxing experience.
Storage Box — Divider Compartments
Lift-off lid + removable divider grids slotted into precision-cut grooves. Compartments are reconfigurable for different item sizes.
Shoe Box — Drop-Front Door
Front panel hinges at the top and drops forward for easy access — no need to unstack. Magnets at the bottom snap it shut. Interlocking ridges for stable stacking.

Send Us Your IdeaWhy Acrylic for Boxes?
Acrylic (PMMA) is the preferred material for custom boxes because it combines full transparency with durability, moisture resistance, and unlimited custom shapes via laser cutting and CNC machining. Unlike cardboard, an acrylic box is permanent — buyers keep it and reuse it. Unlike wood or metal, acrylic is lightweight and offers complete visibility of the contents inside.
| Acrylic (PMMA) | Cardboard | Wood | Metal | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clarity | 92% light transmission | Opaque | Opaque | Opaque |
| Durability | High — shatter-resistant | Low — crushes, tears | Medium — dents, scratches | High — dents |
| Weight | Lightweight | Very light | Heavy | Heavy |
| Moisture resistance | Fully resistant | Absorbs — warps, molds | Absorbs — swells, warps | Rusts (steel) or corrodes |
| Custom shapes | Laser-cut, CNC, thermoformed | Die-cut only | CNC, hand-cut | Stamping, welding |
| Reusability | Permanent — buyers keep it | Disposable | Long-term | Long-term |
| Branding | UV print, silk-screen, engrave, hot stamp | Print only | Engrave, print | Engrave, stamp |
| Cost (custom, low volume) | Medium | Low | High | High |
| Best for | Gifts, display, storage, retail packaging | Shipping, disposable packaging | Furniture, luxury keepsakes | Industrial, heavy-duty |
Acrylic vs Polycarbonate vs PETG for Boxes — How Each Fails
The three clear plastics buyers compare for boxes are acrylic (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), and PETG — and each fails a different way. Polycarbonate is the toughest against impact but scratches easily and its corners can crack under the point loads a rigid box lid puts on them. PETG is easy to fabricate but yellows over time, scratches, and never reaches the optical clarity of a polished acrylic panel — so a presentation box looks cloudy next to acrylic. Cast acrylic holds its clarity for 5+ years indoors, takes a diamond-polished edge, resists corner-impact chipping in a box structure, and machines cleanly at volume — which is why it's the default for gift, display, and retail boxes. PC and PETG earn their place only where a box must survive repeated hard impact and edge clarity is secondary.
| Acrylic (PMMA) | Polycarbonate (PC) | PETG | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clarity | Optical — diamond-polished edges | Good, but softer sheen | Lower — looks cloudy vs acrylic |
| Scratch resistance | Good — hard surface | Poor — scratches easily | Poor — scratches easily |
| UV / yellowing | Stays clear 5+ years indoors | Can yellow over time | Yellows over time |
| Impact behavior | Resists corner chipping in a box | Highest impact resistance | Ductile, less rigid |
| Volume cost | Cost-efficient at scale | Higher | Moderate |
| Typical failure mode | Surface scuffing if abused | Corner cracking + scratching | Yellowing + poor clarity |

How Do I Choose the Right Wall Thickness for an Acrylic Box?
Wall thickness depends on box size, contents weight, and how the box is handled. For small gift boxes and packaging under 200mm, 3mm acrylic is standard — stable, clear, and cost-efficient at volume. For medium storage boxes and shoe boxes (200–400mm), 4–5mm keeps the panels rigid when stacked. For large shadow boxes and display frames above 400mm, 5–8mm prevents panel flex and bowing. Boxes with heavy contents (stone, metal objects, stacked items) or boxes that will be shipped assembled need the next thickness step up. We confirm the right gauge during sample approval — send your dimensions and we'll spec it.
Related guide: Acrylic Box Wall Thickness Guide — the full breakdown of 1/8″ vs 3/16″ vs 1/4″ vs 3/8″ by box size, contents weight, and stacking load.
Cast vs Extruded Acrylic for Boxes — Does It Matter?
Yes, for visible presentation boxes. Cast acrylic diamond-polishes to optical clarity and resists stress crazing at bonded joints — the right choice for gift boxes, display boxes, and any box where the edge finish is part of the product experience. Extruded acrylic is more affordable and works well for storage boxes, organizers, and utility applications where edge clarity is secondary to function. Wetop defaults to cast for presentation boxes and extruded for utility boxes, and we'll flag the trade-off in your quote.
Can I Get a Custom Interior Insert for My Acrylic Box?
Yes — custom interior inserts are one of our most common add-ons. Options include removable acrylic divider grids (sized to your compartment count), die-cut EVA or PE foam shaped to cradle your exact product, velvet or suede lining (dark navy, charcoal, black, or custom color), and tiered compartment trays. Interior inserts are especially common in gift boxes (product cradling during unboxing), storage boxes (organizing small items), and shadow boxes (mounting keepsakes). Send us what goes inside the box — dimensions, weight, fragility — and we design the insert around it. Insert design is included in the sample process at no extra charge.

Send Us Your IdeaWhat Affects Acrylic Box Pricing?
Acrylic box pricing depends on six factors: dimensions, thickness, quantity, opening mechanism, interior configuration, and panel composition. We don't publish fixed prices because every box is custom — but here's what drives the cost so you can plan your budget.
Box Dimensions & Thickness
Larger boxes and thicker acrylic use more material. A 3mm small gift box costs significantly less than a 10mm large shadow box frame.
Order Quantity
Unit cost drops sharply as quantity increases. 500 boxes cost less per piece than 100.
Opening Mechanism
A sealed box or simple lift-off lid is the most affordable. Hinged tops, sliding drawers, and magnetic closures add cost based on hardware and precision fit.
Interior Configuration
An empty box is standard pricing. Custom dividers, die-cut foam inserts, and velvet or suede lining add to per-unit cost based on complexity and material.
Panel Composition
All-clear acrylic is standard pricing. Mixed-panel designs (frosted + clear, colored + clear) and opaque-with-window configurations cost more due to additional cutting and bonding.
Finishing & Branding
UV printing, laser engraving, and custom foil stamping add to the per-unit cost. Diamond polishing is included as standard on every box.
Indicative Pricing Ranges (FOB Shenzhen)
Every box is custom, so these are approximate ranges to help you budget — not fixed prices. Your quote will reflect your exact specs.
| Scenario | Approx. Size | Key Specs | Qty | Indicative FOB Range |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Small clear gift box | 100 × 100 × 100mm | 3mm clear, magnetic lid | 500 pcs | from $3–6 / unit |
| Medium storage box with dividers | 250 × 150 × 100mm | 4mm clear, lift-off lid, 6-compartment divider | 200 pcs | from $8–15 / unit |
| Drop-front shoe box | 350 × 250 × 200mm | 5mm clear, magnetic drop-front door | 200 pcs | from $12–22 / unit |
| Premium gift box with insert | 200 × 150 × 100mm | 3mm frosted, magnetic lid, velvet insert, UV-printed branding | 300 pcs | from $10–20 / unit |
| Large shadow box frame | 500 × 400 × 80mm | 5mm clear, wall-mount hardware included | 100 pcs | from $18–35 / unit |
Prices are approximate FOB Shenzhen and vary with exact dimensions, thickness, opening mechanism, interior configuration, panel composition, and quantity. Velvet/suede lining adds approximately $1–3/unit. Custom foam inserts add approximately $2–5/unit. Request a quote for your exact specs.
How Price Breaks by Volume — 50 vs 500 vs 5,000 Pieces
Per-unit cost drops as volume rises because setup, tooling, and sample costs spread across more units. The break is steepest between the 100-piece MOQ and a few hundred pieces, then flattens into the thousands. Typical FOB bands for two common scenarios from the table above:
| Order Quantity | Small clear gift box (100 × 100 × 100mm, 3mm, magnetic lid) | Premium gift box with insert (frosted, velvet insert, UV-printed branding) |
|---|---|---|
| 100 pcs (production MOQ) | from $6–12 / unit | from $16–30 / unit |
| 500 pcs | from $3–6 / unit | from $10–20 / unit |
| 5,000 pcs | from $2–4 / unit | from $7–14 / unit |
Bands are indicative FOB Shenzhen and shift with your exact dimensions, thickness, closure, and interior. Ask for tiered pricing at the quantities you care about — your quote shows the per-unit price at each tier.
Most custom acrylic boxes fall within a predictable range once you lock in these six variables. Send us your specs and we'll give you an exact number — no ballpark, no surprises.

Send Us Your IdeaWhat Buyers Say
We needed 2,000 gift boxes with magnetic lids and custom velvet inserts for a product launch. Wetop nailed the insert fit on the first sample — the product sits snug with zero rattle. Three reorders in and the consistency hasn't slipped.
We switched from cardboard to clear acrylic shoe boxes for our flagship store. The drop-front magnetic door holds up after thousands of open-close cycles — we've had them on the floor for 8 months now with no warping or hinge fatigue.
The shadow boxes arrived individually wrapped and not a single piece was cracked. We've ordered from three other suppliers before and always had breakage issues. Wetop's packaging is the best we've seen from any acrylic factory.
We use the acrylic storage boxes as in-store organizers across 40 locations. The divider compartments are exact — same dimensions every batch, every reorder. That matters when you're training staff across multiple stores to stock the same way.
Why Businesses Choose Wetop for Acrylic Boxes
Businesses choose Wetop as their acrylic box supplier and custom acrylic box manufacturer because of precision interior configurations, full box-type coverage from gift packaging to ballot boxes, and sample-to-production consistency — backed by ISO 9001 certification and 18+ years of custom acrylic experience.
Interior Precision That Protects
Die-cut foam inserts shaped to your exact product. Velvet lining cut to the millimeter. Divider grids that slot into precision-grooved channels. The interior of an acrylic box determines whether contents arrive protected, look premium on the shelf, and stay organized over time. We build the inside with the same precision as the outside — because what's inside the box is what your customer sees first.
From Gift Box to Ballot Box — One Factory, Full Range
Shadow boxes, gift boxes, shoe boxes, flower boxes, storage boxes, donation boxes — all built in the same 5,000 m² Shenzhen facility. One supplier handles your entire box lineup: same quality standards, same account manager, consolidated shipping. No need to split orders across factories or manage multiple timelines.
From Prototype to Production in Days
Paid samples ship in 3–5 days. Bulk production runs 15–20 days. Our facility scales from 100-unit first runs to 50,000-unit rollouts — same factory, same quality standards, same team.
We needed custom gift boxes for a skincare launch — frosted acrylic, velvet inserts, magnetic lids. Sample matched our mockup exactly, full batch arrived with zero defects. We've since added shoe boxes and storage boxes to our orders.
Buying Acrylic Boxes Wholesale? Work With the Factory, Not a Middleman
Sourcing acrylic boxes wholesale comes down to one supply-chain question: is your acrylic box supplier the factory, or a trading company reselling one? Wetop cuts, bonds, prints, and inspects every box in our own 5,000 m² Shenzhen facility — so wholesale and OEM programs get factory-direct pricing, one team holding your tooling and artwork across reorders, and the same approved-sample standard on every production run.
How a wholesale program runs — MOQ is 100 pieces per design. Programs spanning several sizes or SKUs of the same construction can combine them in one order, quoted as a size/quantity table with any per-size setup itemized — the combined volume is what moves your pricing tier. Orders ship FOB Shenzhen standard, with CIF and DDP available, packed in foam-protected cartons and palletized for LCL or FCL freight.
What reorder consistency actually means — Your approved sample, cutting files, print screens, and packing spec stay on record with us. A reorder six months later runs from the same files on the same line, inspected against the same master sample — the consistency distributors and retail programs need, and the part a reseller sourcing from rotating workshops can't guarantee.
Wholesale demand runs strongest in two categories: bulk acrylic shadow boxes for memorabilia retailers and team programs, and acrylic gift boxes for brand packaging rollouts. Vetting suppliers? Our China supplier audit guide shows exactly what to check before you commit a program.

Production in 15–20 daysFrequently Asked Questions
What types of acrylic boxes does Wetop manufacture?
We manufacture acrylic boxes for gifting, shadow displays, storage, shoes, flowers, and specialty applications like donation and ballot collection. Every box is built to your exact dimensions with your choice of opening mechanism (hinged, sliding, magnetic, or sealed), panel composition (all-clear, mixed, or opaque with window), and interior configuration (dividers, foam inserts, velvet lining). MOQ is 100 pieces.
Can you add dividers and custom inserts to acrylic boxes?
Yes. We build custom interior configurations including removable divider grids, die-cut foam inserts shaped to your exact product, velvet or suede lining, and tiered compartment trays. Interior inserts are common in gift boxes (to cradle products during unboxing) and storage boxes (to organize small items). Tell us what goes inside — we design the insert around it.
What is the difference between an acrylic box and an acrylic display case?
An acrylic display case is designed primarily to protect and showcase items behind clear walls — trading cards, collectibles, jewelry. An acrylic box is designed to contain, package, organize, or present items — gift packaging, storage compartments, shadow frames, shoe organization. Cases prioritize visibility and UV protection. Boxes prioritize interior function, opening mechanism, and presentation experience. Wetop manufactures both — see our acrylic display cases for protection-focused products.
What is the minimum order for custom acrylic boxes?
Our standard production MOQ for custom acrylic boxes is 100 pieces per design. A paid sample is available before production so you can approve the fit, closure, print, and finish. The same factory team and inspection standards apply from the first production run through larger rollouts.
How long does it take to produce custom acrylic boxes?
Sample production takes 3–5 days. Once you approve the sample, bulk production runs 15–20 days depending on complexity and quantity. Boxes with custom interior inserts, mixed-panel construction, or complex opening mechanisms may add 2–3 days. We ship FOB Shenzhen, with CIF and DDP available.
How much do custom acrylic boxes cost?
Pricing depends on six factors: box dimensions, acrylic thickness, quantity, opening mechanism, interior configuration (dividers, inserts, lining), and panel composition (all-clear vs mixed). A simple clear storage box costs less than a frosted gift box with magnetic lid, velvet insert, and UV-printed branding. If you have a target per-unit price, send it with your specs. We'll design the interior configuration and material to hit your cost goal. Sometimes swapping from magnetic to sliding lids, reducing insert complexity, or adjusting thickness gets you there. See our customization options for the full range. Send us your specs — we respond within 24 hours with a detailed quote.
Can I order 10 different box designs in a single 100-piece MOQ?
The 100-piece production MOQ applies per design, not across designs combined. For example, 50 units of Design A plus 50 units of Design B do not make one production MOQ. Most clients select their strongest one or two designs for the first run, then use a paid sample to validate any additional design before committing to its production quantity.
How do I value-engineer a box design to hit my target price?
Five levers: (1) Interior configuration — simpler dividers cost less than custom foam inserts; (2) Material — frosted or colored acrylic costs more than clear; (3) Opening mechanism — sliding lids cheaper than magnetic; (4) Finishing — UV printing more costly than hot stamping; (5) Quantity — larger orders drop per-unit cost. Send your target price and we'll propose the best combination of changes. Most redesigns land 15–30% below the original quote.
Is the MOQ per design, per size, or total quantity — and can I mix sizes to reach it?
The 100-piece MOQ applies per design and per size because each distinct box needs its own cutting layout and setup. Two sizes of the same box are two designs, so each normally needs 100 pieces. You can mix sizes on one purchase order and shipment, but the quote keeps each size and quantity visible rather than hiding them in a blended number. If you are unsure which size to produce, approve paid samples first and put the strongest format into production.
Can you make a small trial run of 10–20 custom hinged boxes before I commit?
Standard production MOQ is 100 pieces per design, so a 10–20 piece production run is not the normal path. Before production, we can build a paid sample in 3–5 days using your specified material, closure, and finish. That lets you validate hinge action, fit, and print on a real unit before committing to the production quantity.
Can I get pricing at 50, 500, and 10,000 pieces? How does price break by volume?
Yes — send your spec and we'll quote tiered per-unit pricing across the quantities you care about, for example 50 / 500 / 10,000 pieces. Per-unit cost drops as volume rises because fixed setup, tooling, and sample costs spread across more units, and material and labor get more efficient at scale. The break is steepest between the MOQ run and a few hundred pieces, then flattens as you climb into the thousands. Give us your target quantities up front and the quote will show the price at each tier so you can find the volume that fits your budget.
Does a hinged lid cost more than a separate lift-off lid?
Usually, yes. A lift-off lid is the simplest and most affordable closure — it's just a separate panel that rests on or telescopes over the base. A hinged lid adds a piano or integrated acrylic hinge, which means extra hardware, tighter tolerances, and more assembly, so it typically prices above a lift-off at the same size. Magnetic and lockable closures add cost on top of that. If the closure is driving your budget, we can often swap to a lift-off or telescoping lid without changing the look much. See the Acrylic Box Lid & Closure Types Guide for the full cost-and-fit comparison.
Can you add printed outer packaging around the acrylic box?
Yes. Beyond the acrylic box itself, we can supply custom-branded outer packaging — printed cartons, sleeves, or retail-ready boxes — so the product arrives packaged the way you want to present or ship it. Tell us whether you need plain protective packing, retail-ready branded packaging, or a specific carton spec, plus your artwork and destination, and we'll fold it into the quote. Note this is packaging around the box; we don't market food-service or dessert boxes.
Are your acrylic boxes food-safe or watertight?
On food-safety: acrylic can be produced in grades that meet food-contact material standards (such as FDA 21 CFR or EU 10/2011), and we can source a food-contact-grade material and provide the certificate when your box will directly contact food. That said, Wetop doesn't market food-service or dessert boxes as a product line, so confirm the intended food contact with us up front and we'll only state compliance that's documented for the exact material used. On watertight: a standard acrylic box is not sealed. Where a splash- or water-resistant box is needed, we can solvent-weld the seams for a much tighter joint, but acrylic boxes are not pressure-rated or guaranteed leak-proof — tell us the liquid and use case and we'll advise what's realistic.
