Custom sleeve boxes pair an open-ended outer sleeve with an inner tray or drawer that slides out — creating a satisfying reveal as the customer pushes the product into view. The two-piece design suits cosmetics, tech accessories, chocolates, candles, and subscription sets, and lets you split branding between a printed sleeve and a contrasting tray. The sleeve also doubles as a belly band over an existing box. Printed in Connecticut, sleeve boxes start at 100 units with no setup or die charges and free contiguous-US shipping.
For US beauty, tech, and gifting brands that want a tactile slide-out reveal and two printable surfaces.
Upgrade your shipping with Printed Sleeve Packaging! Perfect for subscription boxes, wine bottles & electronics. Easy assembly, cost-effective & 100% customizable. Request samples today!

Materials, print, and finish options
Sleeve boxes are usually two pieces: a printed outer sleeve and an inner tray. The sleeve runs on SBS paperboard (16–24 pt) for retail or wraps rigid board for a premium drawer-style. The inner tray can be folding carton or rigid chipboard with a fitment to cradle the product. A snug-but-smooth slide tolerance is engineered into the dieline so the drawer glides without falling out; both pieces take CMYK, foil, and soft-touch lamination.
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.
