Curated corporate gift box business

HR and office managers, sales and marketing teams, small firms and event planners buying gifts in batches.

A price per box covering items, packaging, branding, assembly and shipping, with larger orders and recurring seasonal gifting adding up through the year.

• Product sourcing and negotiation
• Creative eye for presentation
• Careful packing and shipping logistics

• Food, candles or cosmetics in boxes may have labeling or cottage food rules, so check your state and county
• Sales tax on boxes and shipping varies by state, so check with your state tax agency
• Home occupation permit, HOA or lease rules if you pack at home, or the cost of renting a small unit
• Demand peaks in the fall, so plan stock, storage and cash flow ahead
• Damaged or late shipments, so use sturdy packing and confirm delivery dates

Startup costs are typically around $1,500 to $7,500, depending on bulk stock, packaging, branding materials and shipping supplies. Costs vary with the range of boxes and how many you plan to pack at once.

Monthly revenue is typically estimated around $1,000 to $8,000, depending on order sizes and client numbers. Demand peaks in the fall, so income may be uneven through the year. This is revenue, not profit.

Check labeling or cottage food rules if boxes include food, candles or cosmetics, with your state and county. Also check sales tax on boxes and shipping, and home occupation permit, HOA or lease rules for packing at home.
