What brands say about our shoulder-neck boxes
Fragrance and prestige skincare brands use shoulder-neck boxes for a seamless, luxury launch presentation.
“The rigid drawer box made our launch feel like a $200 product. Soft-touch wrap and foil logo — customers post it on social before they even open it.”
“We use these for corporate gift sets. The magnetic closure is satisfying and the wrap print is flawless. Free dieline saved our designer a week.”
“Premium unboxing without the premium headache. Sample matched production exactly and the lead time held even at 3,000 units.”
A raised shoulder that makes the lid float
The base is built with an inner shoulder or neck that rises above the rim, so the lid sits higher than the base wall. That small lift hides the seam entirely and gives the box a seamless, sculptural silhouette—the same construction used by luxury fragrance houses.
See options → Rigid board plus tailored inserts for glass
We use 800–1200 g wrapped chipboard for a solid, premium heft, then line the base with velvet, EVA or molded foam cut to your bottle or jar. The insert stops movement in transit and elevates the reveal when the lid comes off.
Start customizing →Print the lid, the neck and the inside
Because every visible surface can be wrapped and printed, you can brand the lid top, the neck, and even the inside lid. Foil logos and embossing read especially crisp against the continuous wrap paper. Send your dimensions and we will return a quote and insert recommendation within 24 hours.
