Description
An outer sleeve with a sliding tray. The tray pulls out on a ribbon or a finger notch, so the product is revealed rather than unpacked.
Overview
A drawer box is two boxes in one: a rigid sleeve, and a tray that slides inside it. The tray usually carries the insert; the sleeve carries the brand.
The fit between sleeve and tray decides whether the box feels expensive. Too tight and it drags; too loose and it rattles. We set the tolerance on the sample and hold it in production.

Frequently asked
How tight should the tray be?
It should slide with light finger pressure and not fall out when tilted. We fix the tolerance on the sample.
Can the tray be fully removed?
Yes, or we can fit a ribbon stop so it opens to a fixed point.
Does the sleeve print wrap around?
Yes — the sleeve is wrapped in one piece, so artwork runs continuously around three sides.
Is a drawer box more expensive than two-piece?
Slightly, because there are two assembled parts. The difference narrows at volume.
