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.
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 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.
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.
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-color consistency | Sharpest detail, steady color 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 colors and foils will read on your approved proof.
We print in full CMYK for photos and artwork and match exact Pantone (PMS) colors for logos, then confirm every color on your digital proof. Our color guide explains CMYK, PMS and RGB in plain terms.
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 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.
