An Eid gift box in Dubai costs between AED 6 and AED 73.50 per box, depending on whether you are buying a plain packaging box, a rigid magnetic-closure box or a wooden presentation box. Gold-foil Eid tags and stickers start at AED 0.46 per piece, and printed cards start at AED 165 per job. Below are the real, VAT-inclusive prices from our store, the exact box dimensions, the minimum order quantities you will actually face, and the order deadlines that matter if you want boxes on desks before the Eid holiday.
What an Eid gift box in Dubai actually costs
Most companies get this wrong by shopping for "a gift box" as a single item. In practice an Eid gift costs you three separate line items: the box, the contents, and the finishing (tag, sticker, ribbon, card). Budget for all three and you will not be surprised at approval stage.

Which box for which recipient
- Staff and bulk lists (200+ people): the corrugated box at AED 15 or the plain packaging box at AED 6. Print one colour, keep the spend in the contents.
- Clients and mid-tier partners: the black magnetic-closure box at AED 38. It opens like a premium box and holds a bottle plus a notebook comfortably.
- VIPs, board members, government relations: the wooden box with velvet interior at AED 51, or the hard case magnet box at AED 73.50. These are the two that get kept on a desk instead of recycled.
- Sustainability-led brands: the Ghaf seed plantable kit at AED 15.80 — the Ghaf being the UAE's national tree makes it an easy story to tell in the accompanying card.
Foiling, tags and ribbon: the AED 1 that changes everything
Gold foil is what makes a box read as "Eid" rather than "generic gift". It is also the cheapest upgrade on the whole job. Ready-stock foiled Eid and Ramadan tags ship in one working day, which makes them the standard rescue when a gift programme is approved late.
| Finishing item | Spec | MOQ | Price (AED) | Per piece |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Economy Gold Foil Stickers | 80 gsm, glossy laminated | 1,000 pcs | 460 | 0.46 |
| Die-Cut Gold Foil Stickers | Custom shape, 80 gsm | 1,000 pcs | 510 | 0.51 |
| Gold Foil Occasion Stickers | 4.5 × 4.5 cm, ready stock | 500 pcs | 400 | 0.80 |
| Gold Foil Tags — Black | 5 × 9 cm, with hole and rope | 500 pcs | 425 | 0.85 |
| Gold Foil Ribbon | 5 rolls, ready stock | 5 rolls | 450 | — |
More options in sticker and label printing. If you are deciding between foil, spot UV and embossing for the card itself, our guide to premium print finishes explains the cost difference at each quantity.
Eid cards and inserts
A box without a card is an anonymous box. The card is where the greeting, the sender's name and the Arabic message live — and at these prices there is no reason to skip it.
| Card | Spec | Price from (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Compliment Slips | Logo + short message, quality paper | 165 |
| Greeting / Thank-You Cards | Premium card stock | 235 |
| Cards with Round Corners | 400 gsm art matt, printed both sides, matt lamination | 265 |
| A5 Cards, 350 gsm | 1-side printing, matt lamination, 35 pcs | 370 |
| Cards with Foiling | Foil accents on premium stock | 395 |

What goes inside: gift items at real prices
The contents decide the perceived value far more than the box does. These are live prices per piece from our gift items range:

Three worked budgets, per recipient, box and foiled tag included:
- AED 35 staff gift: corrugated box (15) + Santhome A5 notebook (12) + bamboo pen (17) — trim to a single item to land under 35, or accept AED 44 for both.
- AED 90 client gift: black magnetic XL box (38) + insulated bottle (21) + notebook (12) + foiled tag (0.85) + card — around AED 72 before the card.
- AED 180 VIP gift: wooden XL box with velvet interior (51) + flask and cups set (32) + power bank (66) + foiled tag — around AED 150, leaving room for a foiled card at AED 395 across the batch.
If you would rather buy a ready-assembled set than build one, compare the corporate gift sets — and read ready boxes vs custom kits for the real cost difference at 100 and 500 units.
Lead times and the order deadline that matters
Work backwards from the last working day before the holiday, not from Eid itself — most UAE offices empty out two days early, and a box that lands during the break is a wasted box.
- Ready-stock foiled tags, stickers and ribbon: 1 working day.
- Printed boxes and cards: 5 business days after final artwork approval.
- Custom rigid and hard-case boxes: allow 7–10 business days; the magnetic lock and wrapping are hand-finished.
- Assembly and kitting: add 2–3 days for 200+ boxes if we are packing the contents for you.
Practical rule: approve artwork three weeks before your internal distribution date. That absorbs one round of design changes, the 5-day print cycle and delivery across the Emirates without anyone chasing anyone.
How to order
- Fix the recipient count and the tiers — staff, clients, VIPs. Three tiers is the sweet spot; five becomes a logistics problem.
- Pick the box first, because its internal dimensions decide what can go inside. The 260 × 105 × 285 mm magnetic box is the most flexible.
- Send artwork as print-ready PDF with 3 mm bleed, CMYK, 300 dpi. Do not have artwork yet? Send your logo and the Arabic greeting text — design support is included.
- Approve the digital proof. The 5-day clock starts here, not when you place the order.
- Confirm delivery split. Tell us if boxes go to more than one office; splitting at our end is free, re-shipping later is not.

FAQ
What is the minimum order for Eid gift boxes in Dubai?
Fifty boxes for the rigid and wooden ranges, 100 for corrugated and custom-printed board boxes. Foiled tags and stickers start at 500 pieces, gold foil stickers at 1,000. If you need fewer than 50 boxes, buy plain boxes and add a printed foiled tag — you get the same effect without the print MOQ.
Can I get my logo printed on the box itself?
Yes. Corrugated and board boxes are printed directly (the AED 1,500 / 100 pcs and AED 3,360 / 100 pcs options above include black print). On rigid magnetic and wooden boxes, branding is usually applied as a foiled sticker, an engraved plate or a printed sleeve — cleaner and far cheaper than printing the wrap itself at low volumes.
How far in advance should I order for Eid?
Three weeks before you want to hand the boxes out. Printed items need 5 business days after artwork approval, and the two weeks before any Eid holiday are the busiest fortnight of the UAE print calendar. Ready-stock foiled tags at 1 working day are the fallback if you are late.
Do the prices include VAT and delivery?
All prices shown are VAT inclusive. Delivery is across Dubai, Sharjah, Abu Dhabi and the northern Emirates; delivery timing depends on the emirate and the order size — we confirm it on the quotation, not after you have paid.
Can you assemble and pack the boxes for us?
Yes — supply or buy the contents, and we will kit, tag, ribbon and seal each box ready for distribution. Add 2–3 working days for orders above 200 boxes.
What is the best Eid gift under AED 50 per person?
A black magnetic-closure box at AED 38 with a single well-chosen item is better received than a cheap box stuffed with three. If the budget is firm, use the corrugated box at AED 15 with an insulated bottle at AED 21 and a foiled tag at AED 0.85 — AED 37 landed, and it looks considered.
