Drawer Gift Boxes

Drawer gift boxes give a product a smooth, satisfying slide-out reveal that feels premium the moment it opens. The pull of a drawer is a small piece of theatre, and it makes a gift feel considered before the product appears. At Apexio Packaging, we make drawer gift boxes in the USA for jewelry, cosmetics, apparel and corporate gifting. With zero MOQ, free design, a free 3D mockup and free US shipping, you can order one drawer box or a full wholesale run.

What is a drawer gift box and how is it built?

A drawer gift box is a rigid sleeve-and-tray design where an inner tray slides out of a wrapped outer shell. Drawer gift boxes use a rigid greyboard tray that slides inside a matching sleeve, usually with a ribbon pull for an easy open. The rigid construction holds its shape, protects the contents and gives the slide a smooth, controlled feel. A fitted insert keeps the product centred so it presents cleanly every time the drawer opens.

Which Brands Use Drawer Gift Boxes

Drawer boxes suit jewelry, cosmetics, apparel, confectionery and corporate gifting. Jewelers use them for rings and pendants, beauty brands use them for skincare and fragrance sets, and corporate teams use drawer boxes for repeatable client gifts. Because there is no minimum, a boutique can order a small batch while a national brand runs thousands, all to the same premium standard.

Drawer Gift Box Sizes

Drawer boxes are built around the product, and the chart shows the most requested dimensions.

Box size (L x W x H)	Fits	Common use
4 x 4 x 1.5 in	Jewelry, small keepsakes	Rings, pendants, trinkets
6 x 5 x 2 in	Cosmetics, small sets	Skincare and fragrance
8 x 6 x 2.5 in	Multi-item gift sets	Beauty and corporate kits
10 x 8 x 3 in	Larger bundles	Premium hampers and sets

These are common starting points, not limits. Each drawer gift box is engineered around the exact product and its insert, with custom sizes and depths made to order so the tray slides cleanly and the contents sit flush.

Materials and Board

Drawer boxes use rigid greyboard measured in millimetres, wrapped in art paper, with a folding-carton slider for lighter gifts.

Material / board	Weight or thickness	Best for
Rigid greyboard, art-paper wrap	1.5-2mm (approx. 1000-1500 GSM)	Premium sliding drawer boxes
Fabric-wrapped rigid (velvet, linen)	1.5-2mm greyboard core	Jewelry and keepsake drawers
Wrapped art paper	157-200 GSM	Printed outer sleeve
Folding carton cardstock	14-24pt (approx. 350-600 GSM)	Lighter, lower-cost sliders

Rigid drawer boxes are specified by greyboard thickness in millimetres, while lighter sliders are measured in points. For eco-minded brands we offer FSC-certified board and recyclable wraps, and we keep sustainability claims specific in line with the FTC Green Guides. Compare full rigid formats on our custom rigid boxes hub.

Printing Options: Offset and Digital

We print drawer boxes by two methods, chosen by run size, artwork and deadline.

Printing method	Best for	Main strength
Offset printing	Larger runs, brand-colour consistency	Sharpest detail, steady colour at scale
Digital printing	Short runs, samples, seasonal drops	No plates, fast and affordable

Offset printing holds a refined palette steady across a large wholesale run, while digital keeps a short or sample run fast and affordable with no plate charges. On wrapped stocks we confirm how colours and foils will read on your approved proof.

Colour Options: CMYK, PMS and RGB

Drawer boxes print in CMYK and match exact Pantone (PMS) brand colours, while RGB stays for on-screen design.

Colour system	Use it for	Note
CMYK	Full-colour art, gradients, photos	Standard four-colour print
PMS (Pantone)	Exact logo and brand colours	Identical shade on every reprint
RGB	On-screen design and previews	Convert to CMYK before printing

A premium brand needs an exact shade, so we match Pantone (PMS) colours and confirm them on a proof before printing. CMYK covers full-colour art, and RGB files are converted first. Our CMYK, PMS and RGB colour guide explains the difference in plain terms.

Finishes and Surface Effects

Finishes let a drawer box read as luxe, minimal or playful, depending on your brand.

Finish	Effect	Best for
Foil stamping (gold, silver, copper)	Metallic logo on the sleeve	Jewelry and executive gifts
Soft-touch / velvet lamination	Warm, tactile matte feel	Beauty and premium retail
Embossing / debossing	Raised or recessed detail	Logos and monograms
Spot UV / raised UV	Selective gloss accent	Pattern and typography

A gold foil logo on a soft-touch sleeve reads premium, while embossing adds a tactile signature to the drawer front. For a full high-end set, pair with our custom luxury gift boxes.

Inserts, Ribbons and Add-Ons

Inserts and pulls keep the product centred and make the slide effortless.

Insert / add-on	What it does	Best for
EVA foam tray	Snug, shock-absorbing cavity	Jewelry, watches, devices
Velvet or satin-lined insert	Premium cushioned presentation	Keepsake and luxury sets
Die-cut partitions	Separate multiple items	Multi-item corporate kits
Ribbon pull tab, magnet-assist slide	Easy, controlled open	Retail and gift drawers

A ribbon pull tab makes the drawer easy to open, a magnet-assist slide keeps the tray stable, and a velvet insert protects delicate items. For small jewelry gifts, pair with our custom jewelry gift boxes. Ready to build yours? Get a free quote and free 3D proof now – email sales@apexiopackaging.com or call +1 (855) 466-6990.

Corporate and Luxury Gifting Programs

Drawer boxes reorder cleanly, which makes them ideal for repeatable corporate and luxury gifting. A magnet-assist drawer box with a foil logo and fitted insert balances a premium feel with fast assembly, so every client or executive gift matches. Because there is no minimum, you can pilot a small batch, then roll out company-wide. For jewelry-led programs, browse our custom jewelry boxes range.

Quality Checks on Every Order

Every drawer gift box is checked for slide fit, wrap and finish before it ships. We verify tray-to-sleeve tolerance, wrap adhesion, corner wrapping, foil registration and colour consistency, and we sample the run before it leaves our facility. Honestly, a drawer only feels premium when the slide is tuned, so we test the fit rather than rush it.
