They give users an easy grip to open the box, protect manicures, and create a more guided, premium unboxing motion for gifting, PR kits, cosmetics, jewelry, and apparel packaging.
Since 2018, Seven Packaging has produced custom rigid magnetic boxes with integrated ribbon pulls, thumb notches, and other ergonomic features for U.S. brands. We help you match ribbon width, length, color, and attachment method with your board thickness, wrap material, and overall box style so the add-on looks intentional—not like an afterthought.

FAQs — Ribbon Pull Tabs for Magnetic Boxes
What is a ribbon pull tab on a magnetic box?
It’s a small length of ribbon (or similar tape) fixed to the lid edge or drawer tray of a magnetic rigid box. The ribbon gives users an easy grip so they can open the box without digging their fingers under the panel or fighting the magnet.
Can ribbon pull tabs be added to existing magnetic box styles?
In most cases, yes. Book-style magnetic boxes, collapsible magnets, and magnetic drawer boxes can all be specified with pull tabs at the design stage. For existing tooling, we’ll review your dielines and suggest a pull-tab position and attachment method that works cleanly.
What ribbon materials and widths do you offer?
Common options include double-faced satin, grosgrain, cotton/twill, and organza, typically in the 8–20 mm width range depending on box size. We can color-match close to Pantone where available and can print your logo as a repeat or at the pull point.
Are ribbon pull tabs included with inserts and other add-ons?
Yes, they can be quoted alongside foam/velvet inserts, card platforms, or tissue as part of a full magnetic box build. Just mention that you want ribbon pulls when you share your size, quantity, and finishing details, and we’ll bundle everything into one custom quote.
What’s the minimum order quantity for ribbon pull tabs?
For most projects, MOQs start around 200–500 magnetic boxes with ribbon pulls included, depending on ribbon type, printing, and box construction. Once artwork and specs are approved, typical production runs about 10–14 business days plus transit.
