Rigid Drawer Boxes

Rigid Drawer Boxes With a Smooth Slide

A drawer box has two parts: an outer sleeve and an inner tray that slides out like a drawer. The slow pull builds anticipation, and the reveal feels deliberate and elegant. Rigid drawer boxes add weight and durability to that experience, making them a favorite for jewelry, chocolates, fragrance, stationery and high-end gift sets.

Packwhole makes rigid drawer boxes in chipboard wrapped with printed or specialty papers. We size the sleeve and tray together so the drawer glides easily without falling out on its own.

Opening Features

Inserts for Every Product

Inside the drawer, an insert keeps items arranged and protected. Foam cradles suit fragrance bottles and electronics. Card dividers create neat compartments for chocolates or truffles. Satin or velvet lining works well for rings, earrings and watches. For stationery and cards, a shallow tray without an insert keeps things simple.

Design Options

• Printed sleeve with a contrasting tray color
• Solid color sleeve with foil stamped logo
• Patterned tray interior for a surprise reveal
• Embossed or debossed brand marks
• Textured specialty papers for a tactile finish

Sizes and Uses

Drawer boxes range from small ring boxes to large gift sets. Popular uses include:

• Jewelry and watch presentation
• Chocolate and confectionery assortments
• Perfume and skincare gift sets
• Business card and stationery sets
• Wedding favors and bridesmaid gifts

If you want a lighter, more affordable version, sliding drawer boxes can also be made in folding paperboard. Our custom jewelry boxes and custom chocolate boxes are often produced in this style.

Shipping Drawer Boxes

Rigid boxes arrive assembled, so they are ready for packing as soon as they land. For online orders, place the drawer box inside a plain or printed corrugated mailer to protect the wrap during transit.

Getting the Slide Right

A drawer box should open smoothly but not fall open when tilted. The fit between tray and sleeve depends on the board thickness and the wrap paper, so we build in a precise clearance for each order. A ribbon pull makes opening easier on tight fits, and a thumb notch on both ends of the sleeve lets the drawer be pushed out from either side. Approving a digital proof helps confirm the layout before production. Brands often reuse one drawer box size across several products by changing only the insert, which keeps the outer look consistent while saving on new tooling. A gift message printed on the inside of the tray is another simple touch that people notice when the drawer slides open.
