What brands say about our rigid tray & sleeve boxes
Cosmetics and tech-gift brands use tray & sleeve boxes for a modern, slide-off unboxing.
“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 sleeve that slips off in one motion
The tray is a shallow rigid box that cradles the product; the sleeve is a printed wrap that slides over it. When a customer pulls the sleeve away, the product is revealed in one clean gesture—more dramatic than a lid, more minimal than a drawer.

Because the sleeve wraps all four sides, you have uninterrupted space for artwork, messaging, foil patterns or QR codes. We print on coated art paper or specialty stocks, then finish with matte, gloss or soft-touch lamination so the slide feels as good as it looks.
Start customizing →Tray keeps the product seated through shipping
The tray itself is built from rigid wrapped board and can be fitted with foam, EVA or cardboard inserts. Cosmetics, tech accessories, candles and premium gifts all benefit from the controlled reveal. Share your product dimensions and we will engineer the tray and sleeve fit in 24 hours.
