Frequently Asked Questions
What are custom drawer rigid boxes used for?
Custom drawer rigid boxes are used for products that need a slide-out reveal, a strong outer sleeve, and a secure inner tray presentation.
What should be checked before approving a drawer rigid box sample?
Buyers should check sleeve clearance, tray sliding feel, greyboard thickness, sleeve squareness, tray squareness, ribbon pull strength, thumb notch comfort, insert height, product fit, corner wrapping, surface scuffing, and carton packing protection.
How do I choose the right greyboard thickness?
Material grade, dimensions and performance direction are selected from the approved product, structure, print, packing and route requirements.
How much clearance is needed between the sleeve and tray?
The clearance depends on greyboard thickness, wrapping paper thickness, glue, tray depth, insert height, product weight, and finishing method.
Can the inner tray slide out too easily?
Yes, if the sleeve clearance is too loose or the product weight changes the tray balance. A tray that is too tight can be hard to open, while a tray that is too loose may feel unstable.
Should I choose a ribbon pull, rope loop, or thumb notch?
A ribbon pull is useful when you want a visible opening detail. A rope loop can create a stronger pull feel for selected structures. A thumb notch is cleaner and more minimal.
Can drawer rigid boxes be shipped flat?
No. Most drawer rigid boxes are setup boxes and are shipped fully assembled because both the outer sleeve and inner tray are made from rigid greyboard.
How do drawer rigid boxes affect shipping volume and freight cost?
Drawer rigid boxes usually take more shipping volume than folding cartons because they are shipped fully assembled.
What inserts work best for jewelry, cosmetics, or chocolates?
Jewelry and watches often use velvet-flocked EVA, sponge, or paperboard inserts. Cosmetics and skincare sets may use EVA, molded pulp, PET, or paperboard inserts. Macarons and chocolates may need PET trays, paperboard trays, liners, or food-contact material review.
Can soft-touch lamination or foil stamping get scratched during sliding?
Soft-touch lamination, dark colors, foil stamping, Spot UV, and matte surfaces can show scuffing or contact marks if they sit in drawer friction areas.
What information do you need for a quote?
Please send product size, product weight, box size, slide direction, pull method, insert need, paper wrap, finishing requirements, order quantity, freight method, and delivery country.
