Custom Sleeve Boxes for a Slide-Out Presentation
A sleeve box pairs an inner tray with an outer sleeve that slides over it — giving you a 360° printable wrap and a satisfying reveal, at a lower cost than a rigid box.
A Two-Part Style Built for Presentation
A sleeve box separates function from branding: an inner tray (rigid or folding) holds and protects the product, while an outer sleeve slides over it to carry one uninterrupted wrap-around design. Brands choose this style when they want rigid-box style shelf impact without the full rigid-box price tag.
Key Features
The structural details that define a well-made sleeve box.
Slide-Out Tray

Snug Friction Fit
Sleeve dimensions are calculated to hold closed without tape or glue.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers about ordering custom sleeve boxes.
What is a sleeve box and how is it different from a normal box?
A sleeve box uses two separate pieces — an inner tray and an outer sleeve that slides over it — instead of one folded carton. This gives a continuous wrap-around print surface and a slide-out unboxing motion.
Is a sleeve box as protective as a rigid box?
The inner tray provides solid structural support for lightweight to medium-weight products. For heavier or fragile items, we can recommend a rigid tray upgrade or pair it with an insert.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom sleeve boxes?
Our standard MOQ starts at just 100 units.
Can I get a free proof or sample before ordering?
Yes — every quote includes a free digital proof, and physical samples are available on request.
What sizes can a sleeve box be made in?
Sleeve boxes are fully custom — we size the tray and sleeve to your exact product dimensions.
Do you ship custom sleeve boxes internationally?
Yes — we ship worldwide to the USA, Canada, UK & Australia, with more regions on request.
