A sleeve box is a two-piece package made of an open-ended outer sleeve that slides over an inner tray holding the product. It gives a cleaner, more deliberate reveal than a one-piece folding carton, which is why it shows up most often in gift sets, candle packaging, and limited-run retail items.
Kraft and white paperboard are standard for the outer sleeve, with rigid chipboard-core construction available for a more substantial, boutique feel. The inner tray can be color-matched to the sleeve or left plain for a cost-conscious build.
Yes. A die-cut window on the sleeve is common for showing the product before it’s slid out, and foil stamping, spot UV, or embossing can all be added to the printed sleeve surface.
Candle and home-fragrance brands, gift-set retailers, and limited-edition product launches are the most common users. Many pair this with our Drawer Boxes for a coordinated premium packaging line across different SKUs.
