Custom drawer boxes are the slide-out, two-piece rigid packaging that turns a product open into an event. Built from chipboard wrapped in printed paper, they are the format of choice for US luxury brands — jewelry, perfume, chocolate, watches, prestige cosmetics, subscription and gift sets — where the way the box opens is part of the brand. We build rigid drawer boxes with ribbon pulls, foam inserts, and foil-stamped exteriors, with runs starting at 50 units.

For US luxury brands, jewelry designers, prestige beauty and fragrance houses, chocolatiers, and premium subscription and gifting programs.

About Custom Drawer Boxes

The open is the product

A drawer box is engineered for one moment: the customer's thumb hooks the ribbon pull, the drawer slides free of the sleeve, and the product is revealed on a fitted bed. For luxury and gifting categories, that moment is worth as much as the packaging itself — it is the unboxing frame every US brand wants their customer to film. We build custom drawer boxes to make that reveal feel earned, from prestige beauty and jewelry to chocolate, watches, and high-end subscription sets.

Constructions and closures

  • Ribbon-pull drawers: a satin or grosgrain ribbon looped through the drawer face for a deliberate, single-finger open.
  • Finger-notch drawers: a die-cut half-moon on the drawer face — cleaner and more architectural than a ribbon.
  • Double-drawer boxes: two stacked drawers in one sleeve for multi-piece sets and layered reveals.
  • Matchbox-style drawers: smaller footprint for jewelry, single-piece cosmetics, and gift-with-purchase.

Interiors that cradle the product

The inside of a drawer box does as much brand work as the outside. We spec paper-lined, flocked, or satin interiors, and cut EVA foam, molded pulp, or thermoformed trays to the exact silhouette of the product — jewelry, bottle, watch, chocolate assortment — so nothing shifts and the presentation stays composed. Interior lids can be printed with a thank-you, a founder note, or a hidden brand mark for a second reveal after the drawer opens.

Finishes for a luxury exterior

On rigid drawer boxes, the wrap paper is the canvas. We offer soft-touch, matte, and gloss laminated papers, textured art papers (linen, felt, metallic), and specialty stocks. Add foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV to build a tactile, prestige-tier exterior that feels the weight of the price tag.

Applications and related formats

Drawer boxes anchor luxury programs across categories: jewelry boxes, perfume boxes, chocolate boxes, and prestige lipstick boxes. For a hinged luxury alternative, see our magnetic-closure boxes; for a two-piece lift-off format, our lid-off boxes.

Ordering, MOQ, and lead time

Drawer boxes are rigid setup construction — minimum order is 50 units. Standard production is 7–10 business days for print and 10–14 business days for full rigid assembly; rush available on request. Every order includes a free 3D mockup, free dieline support, a physical sample on request (refunded on your first order), and free US shipping. Request a tiered quote for exact price breaks.

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: low MOQs (50-unit runs), 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 a rigid setup construction — a 1.5mm to 2mm chipboard core wrapped in printed art paper, silk, or specialty stock. The sleeve and the drawer are built separately, then wrapped by hand, which is why drawer boxes have a heavier, more deliberate feel than any folding carton. Interior finishing is where the format earns its price: paper-lined, flocked, satin-lined, or foam-cavity interiors cradle the product and set the tone of the reveal.

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.

If you're not sure which combination will work best for your custom drawer boxes, mention it in your quote request — our team will recommend the right material, print spec, and finish based on your product, budget, and brand positioning.

Mailer boxes are corrugated boxes designed for shipping with a self-locking front. Rigid boxes are premium thick-walled non-collapsing boxes used for luxury packaging. Folding cartons are lightweight paperboard boxes that ship flat and assemble at point of use. Corrugated boxes have a fluted middle layer for added protection during shipping.

Yes — many brands run a mailer + folding-carton combo in a single order: the mailer for e-commerce shipping and a matching folding carton inside for a branded unboxing. We coordinate artwork, stock, and finishing so both structures ship together and read as one system.

We can produce corrugated shipping boxes up to roughly 30×20×20" as standard, with larger custom sizes available on request. Folding cartons and rigid boxes are typically smaller — up to about 18×14" flat — depending on stock weight and structure.

Yes — we design paperboard inserts, corrugated dividers, foam inserts, and molded pulp trays to securely hold bottles, jars, palettes, and multi-piece retail sets. Inserts ship pre-cut and pre-scored so your fulfillment team can assemble at pack-out.

Yes. We cut EVA or polyethylene foam inserts, thermoformed trays, or molded-pulp cradles to your exact product dimensions so the item sits centered and immobilized inside the drawer. Send product samples or dimensions with your quote.

Plan on 10–14 business days from artwork approval for rigid assembly (vs. 7–10 for folding cartons), because sleeves and drawers are wrapped and assembled by hand. Rush production is available on request for tighter launch dates.
