Custom drawer boxes — also called slide-out, push-out, or matchbox-style boxes — pair an outer sleeve with an inner tray that slides open like a drawer, creating a premium unboxing moment in a compact footprint. They're a favorite for jewelry, watches, cosmetics, chocolates, stationery, and small luxury gifts where the reveal matters. We build them in rigid chipboard for a substantial high-end feel or lighter paperboard for cost-sensitive runs, printed full-color in Cheshire, Connecticut. Runs start at 100 units with no setup, plate, or die charges and free contiguous-US shipping.
For US jewelry, beauty, confectionery, and gift brands that want a compact, premium slide-open box with a memorable unboxing.
About Custom Drawer Boxes
The matchbox-style slide-out reveal
A drawer box slides open like a matchbox: an inner tray pulls out of an outer shell. That motion turns the open into a small ceremony, which is why it suits premium and gift-tier products. It holds its shape, presents the contents on a tray, and feels deliberate in the hand. We build drawer boxes in the USA, from 100 units with no setup, plate, or die charges.
Built for a premium open
- Rigid construction for a substantial, keepsake feel, with a fitted insert to cradle the product.
- Add a ribbon pull or thumb-notch so the drawer slides out cleanly.
- Related slide-and-reveal styles: sleeve and telescoping boxes.
Where it fits
Small premium items where the reveal adds value: jewelry, cosmetics, chocolate, and gift sets. For a snap-shut alternative, see magnetic-closure and rigid boxes.

Why US brands choose us for custom drawer boxes
Custom Box Printing manufactures custom drawer boxes from our US production facility, with free standard shipping anywhere in the contiguous United States and a 7–10 business day turnaround. We've printed custom drawer boxes for solo founders launching their first product line, growing direct-to-consumer brands placing 5,000-unit runs, and established retail brands with 50,000+ unit production schedules — and we treat all three the same: no minimums, free design support, no setup or die-plate charges, and a 3D digital mockup before anything goes to press.
Every custom drawer boxes order includes free in-house dieline and artwork support — our US-based designers will polish your existing files, or build a custom dieline from scratch to fit your exact product dimensions. We send you a 3D mockup to confirm look and proportions before production. For color-critical work, request a physical sample free — let’s talk about a customized sample so you can confirm the look before a full run.
Materials, print, and finish options
Drawer boxes are built in two parts — a sleeve and a tray. Rigid construction (greyboard wrapped in printed paper) gives the dense, luxury feel buyers associate with jewelry and watches; folding paperboard (SBS, 18–24 pt) keeps cost down for higher volumes. Add a ribbon pull, foam or EVA insert to seat the product, plus soft-touch lamination, foil stamping, embossing, or spot UV on the sleeve for shelf and gift appeal.
Available finishes include:
- Lamination: Gloss, matte, soft-touch, or velvet finish for a premium hand-feel.
- Foil stamping: Gold, silver, copper, or custom foil colors for high-visibility brand marks.
- Embossing & debossing: Tactile raised or recessed surface effects on logo or key artwork.
- Spot UV: Selective gloss coating that creates contrast against matte areas.
- Eco-friendly options: Recycled kraft, FSC-certified stocks, water-based inks, recyclable rigid constructions.
- Compliance: FDA food-safe inks; certified child-resistant constructions for CBD/cannabis where required.
