Match Slide Style Rigid Box

Custom Match Slide Boxes Wholesale: Matchbox Style Packaging for Beauty Products

What a match slide box is

A match slide box looks like a box of matches. It has a sleeve-like base and a tray that slides out of one end. Matchbox style packaging is simple and compact, and it suits small beauty items. A slide out box shows the product when the tray moves, and a thumb notch or a small tab helps the tray slide. A match style rigid box is firm and keeps its shape. Sliding box packaging is also used for candles, jewelry, and gifts. A matchbox gift box can be small enough to carry in a pocket. Matchbox style boxes for beauty suit lip products, samples, and mini sets.

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 easily, so the outer sleeve is made slightly larger. Tell us your product, and we suggest an inside size.

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

• Lip product: about 4 in x 1.5 in x 1 in
• Sample set: about 5 in x 3 in x 1 in
• Small candle: about 3 in x 3 in x 2 in
• Jewelry: about 3 in x 3 in x 1 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 slide is smooth when the tray and the sleeve are made as a pair. 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 sleeve as the main canvas, and keep the tray simple.

Matchbox style boxes for beauty

Matchbox style boxes for beauty give lip products and samples a playful, compact home. The box is small, so artwork should be bold and simple. A foil logo on the sleeve and a bright tray color give a strong contrast. Because the box is low in height, it also ships flat in a mailer.

How this differs from the drawer box

The drawer box page covers the same structure as a larger, giftier box, usually with a ribbon pull. This page focuses on the compact matchbox look. If your item is small, choose a match slide. If you want a bigger gift box with a ribbon, see the drawer boxes page.

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.
