Gift boxes and packaging in Australia: what they cost

Updated 5 November 2026

Gift boxes in Australia cost from about A$0.30 for a plain kraft box to around A$187 for a 25-piece magnetic-lid set with ribbon. The fastest way to current prices for your city is to describe the box in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Labels and packaging rules

Under the Australian Consumer Law, packaging and labels must not mislead or deceive, for example about what a box contains or how it performs. Many products sold in Australia must carry a label, and the information must be truthful, clear and accurate. If the box will hold food, the Food Standards Code sets mandatory labelling for most packaged food, and the packaging must be safe for food contact, so confirm this with the seller before you order.

Season and the gift calendar

Summer runs from December to February and winter from June to August, so November is late spring and the warm weather is about to start. Packaging is needed for a date rather than a season, so the deadline you give matters more than the weather. Set the date in your request and allow time for delivery to the city you name.

How boxes are bought here

Prices are in Australian dollars, and sellers list boxes per piece or per pack, so compare the price per box rather than the pack price. A 25-piece magnetic set at A$150.81 to A$187.05 and a five-pack with ribbon at A$27.65 are different buys. Sizes are given in centimetres and millimetres, and features such as magnets, ribbon and printing raise the price, so say which ones you need. Name the delivery city: Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth or Adelaide.

What to put in the request

Give the packaging type (box, bag or hamper), the dimensions in centimetres, the quantity, the material, the colour, whether you need a logo, the deadline and your budget in A$. These details let sellers quote a specific box instead of a range.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the box in your own words in the chat, and add a photo if you have one.
