A simple way to make a small gift feel finished

A pillow box is one piece of board with a tuck end at each side. It is delivered flat, is quick to assemble and still looks like a finished gift — which is why it is common for sweets, jewellery, cosmetic samples and small retail items.

One piece, two tucks

The box is a single die-cut blank: the side seam is glued in production and the two ends tuck in. There is no separate lid, which keeps tooling simple and assembly quick.

Options you can choose

Size: made to fit your product, with the curvature matched to the contents. Board: folding carton board, weight confirmed with your quote. Printing: CMYK or Pantone. Finishing: matte, gloss or soft-touch lamination, hot foil, emboss, spot UV. Window: die-cut window on request. Extras: ribbon, coordinated tissue and tags.

Ordering Your First Run

Six steps from your first message to delivery.
1. Product and size — send the product dimensions; the curvature is based on the product size so the box closes cleanly.
2. Board and print — we confirm board weight and print, then make the sample on the same die.
3. Sample — we make and ship the sample faster and at lower cost, or confirm the details with photos.
4. Sample approval — you confirm every detail, including lead time and the shipping plan.
5. Mass production — QC passed: produced to spec and delivered on time; we keep you posted at every step.
6. Shipping — we share tracking as it moves, and follow up for your feedback after delivery.







Pillow box FAQ

Quick answers to the questions buyers ask us most about pillow boxes.

1. What is a pillow box best for?

Small, light items with a bit of give: sweets, jewellery, cosmetic minis, hair accessories and gift cards. It is not the right pack for heavy or fragile products.

2. Does the box need glue?

The two tuck ends close without adhesive. The side seam is glued during production, so the box arrives assembled and flat, ready to fold out.

3. Can pillow boxes have a window?

Yes: a die-cut window can be added to the front panel so the product shows. A window usually needs its own cutting die, and tooling is quoted separately.

4. Will it hold its shape?

The curvature is based on the product size. If the contents are too bulky, the ends can push open, so send the product dimensions and we adjust the blank before sampling.

5. What is the minimum order and lead time?

From 100 pcs per size and design; a sample in about 5 days, production in about 10 to 20 working days after approval.

Customization

Customize this packaging

Every box is built to your material, color, size, finish, insert and accessories. Explore each option in detail.

​1

Material

Art paper over grey board, kraft, recycled stock and corrugated board — chosen for your product weight and finish. Most common: 157 g art paper over 1,200 g grey board.

Paper & board
See materials
​2

Color

CMYK or Pantone across the whole box: full-color print, solid brand colors, or plain kraft with a single spot color. Recommended: full-color CMYK, or Pantone for an exact brand color.

Print & color

​3

Size

Made to your product. Rigid boxes are built to the millimeter; folding and mailer boxes fold flat to save freight. A size we have run before keeps its cutting die on file, so a repeat size skips the tooling cost; a new size is cut to your product and needs its own die.

​4

Finishing

Matte, gloss or soft-touch lamination, hot foil, emboss or deboss, spot UV, texture and die-cutting. Recommended: matte lamination with a hot-foil logo.

Surface & special

Inserts

Foam, EVA, pearl cotton (EPE), satin fabric, paper trays and blister hold the product still. Recommended: a fitted tray, sized to your product.

Accessories

Ribbons, magnets, handles, 3M tape, tissue paper, envelopes, cards and stickers to complete the pack. Recommended: ribbon or magnetic closures, and printed tissue paper.
