Drawer Box

Custom Drawer Boxes Wholesale: Slide Drawer Gift Boxes for Cosmetics

What a drawer box is

A drawer box is a rigid box with two parts: an outer base and an inner tray that slides out like a drawer. A ribbon or a thumb notch makes the tray easy to pull. A slide drawer box gives a smooth reveal, because the tray moves with a gentle glide. A drawer style gift box is popular for jewelry, cosmetics, and small gifts. A rigid drawer box protects the product and keeps the tray clean. A sliding drawer box is also known as a matchbox style box, since it looks like a box of matches. Drawer boxes for cosmetics hold lip products, palettes, brushes, and sets. A match slide box is the same structure with a matchbox look.

Sizes and how to measure

Box size is written as length x width x height, measured inside the tray. Measure your product at its widest points, and add a small gap. The tray must slide in the base easily, so the outer base is made slightly larger. Tell us your product, and we suggest an inside size and an insert.

Example sizes (approximate and for reference only; we confirm the exact size before you order):

• Palette: about 6 in x 5 in x 1.5 in
• Lip set: about 5 in x 3 in x 1.5 in
• Jewelry: about 4 in x 4 in x 1.5 in
• Gift set: about 8 in x 6 in x 2 in

Board, wrap, inserts, and finishes

Rigid boxes are built from thick, firm board wrapped in printed paper, so they hold their shape and feel substantial. The wrap can be matte, gloss, soft touch, textured, or kraft paper. Foil, embossing, and spot gloss add detail on the lid. An insert holds the product in place and can be cut to fit your item. The tray and the base are made as a pair so the slide feels smooth. A sample kit lets you feel the board and test the fit.

Printing and finishing

Printing is done on the wrap paper before it is applied to the board, so full color artwork, solid colors, and fine detail are possible. Keep key text and logos inside the safe area on the dieline, away from edges and corners. Inside print or a lining paper is available. We set up the box on the free dieline, and you approve it before production. Print the outer base as the main canvas, and use a color inside the tray.

Drawer boxes for cosmetics

Drawer boxes for cosmetics are a neat way to present a set. The tray slides out and shows the products on an insert. A ribbon pull gives a soft touch, and a foil logo on the base finishes the look. For small items, a drawer box is easy to pack and ships safely. Tell us the items and the set, and we plan the tray.

Drawer, match slide, and tray and sleeve

A drawer box has a pull-out tray inside a base, with a ribbon pull. A match slide box is the same structure with a matchbox look and no ribbon. A tray and sleeve box has a separate sleeve that slides over an open tray. If you are unsure which suits your product, ask during the free consultation.

Labeling notes

Product boxes often carry text such as ingredients, net contents, directions, and warnings, and what is required depends on your product and your market. You supply all text and the layout, and we print what you send. We do not write or check text or claims, and you are responsible for making sure your boxes meet the rules for your product.

Orders from 50 units

Orders start at 50 units, which suits a new brand, a test batch, or a small giveaway. Larger orders cost less per box, and they can be planned in several sizes and designs. Share your expected yearly volume during the free consultation and we plan around it.

Artwork and dieline

We send a free dieline that shows the box size, the shape, the cut line, and the safe area, so you can see where your artwork goes and where text should stay clear. Supply artwork as a vector AI or PDF file with fonts outlined and images at 300 DPI in CMYK. If you have no artwork yet, free design support and a free consultation are included, and our team can help lay out the logo and the text from your brand colors. You review and approve the artwork before production starts.
