Custom Pillow Boxes

Custom pillow boxes are curved, self-closing boxes that look like a small pillow. They fold flat, pop into shape in seconds and close by simply pressing the curved ends, which makes them one of the quickest and most charming ways to package small products.

We make custom printed pillow boxes in kraft, white and coloured board, with windows, handles, ribbons and hang tabs. They are made to your exact size and printed with your logo, pattern or message.

Pillow boxes are a favourite for jewellery, soaps, hair accessories, gift cards, sweets and wedding favours, and they work as both retail packaging and gift wrap.

Why choose custom pillow boxes?

Quick to assemble

No glue, tape or inserts are needed. Press the ends and the box is closed, perfect for busy shops and events.

Eye-catching shape

The soft curves stand out from ordinary square boxes on shelves and gift tables.

Low cost per unit

Pillow boxes use little board and ship flat, keeping costs down for large runs.

Pillow boxes for events and favours

Weddings, birthdays, baby showers and corporate events use pillow boxes for sweets, small gifts and thank-you favours. We can print names, dates and themes and add ribbons or tags for a personal touch.

Custom pillow boxes wholesale pricing

The price of custom pillow boxes depends on a few simple factors, and knowing them helps you get the best value from your budget:

• Size and style: larger boxes and complex structures use more board and set-up.
• Material: paperboard costs less than corrugated, and corrugated less than rigid board.
• Printed sides: outside-only printing is the most economical; inside printing adds impact for a little more.
• Finishes: foil, embossing and soft-touch add a premium feel and a small cost per box.
• Quantity: the unit price drops as the order grows, so wholesale runs give the best value.

Tip: keep one structure across several products and change only the artwork, and you can order custom pillow boxes in larger combined runs at a lower unit price. Request a free quote and we will suggest ways to reduce cost without losing quality.

Sustainable custom pillow boxes

More customers now check whether packaging can be recycled before they buy. We can make your custom pillow boxes from recyclable and recycled-content board, print with water-based or soy-based inks, swap plastic windows for open or plant-based film, and right-size every box so it uses less material and less void fill. Add a small recycling symbol and message to show customers you care.

Artwork tips for custom pillow boxes

• Design on the dieline we send, with 3 mm (1/8 inch) bleed past every cut edge.
• Keep text and logos at least 3 mm inside folds and cut lines.
• Use 300 DPI images and CMYK colours, or Pantone references for exact brand colours.
• Send logos as vector files and convert fonts to outlines.
• Put the product name and main benefit on the front panel, and barcodes and legal text on the back or base.
