Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pillow box?
A pillow box is a curved, die-cut carton shaped like a soft pillow, formed from a single sheet of paperboard or kraft. It bends into a rounded rectangle with crescent-shaped tuck ends that fold closed on both sides, giving small items a premium, gift-ready look.
What sizes and minimum order quantities are available?
Pillow boxes are naturally small, ranging from mini favor sizes around 3 x 2 x 1 inches up to larger 7 x 5 x 1.5 inch boxes for scarves and gift sets. Every dimension is made to order, and we offer low minimum order quantities so you can start with the run that fits your needs.
What materials are pillow boxes made from?
We build pillow boxes from natural kraft, bright white SBS paperboard, and textured or specialty stocks. Clear plastic or PVC is added for window versions. Kraft offers a recyclable, earthy look while white SBS gives bold, full-color prints a crisp base.
Can pillow boxes have windows or ribbon?
Yes. We can add a die-cut window with a clear PVC panel so the product shows through, and a punched hang-hole or slot for ribbon or twine. These touches make the boxes ideal for favors, jewelry, and retail giveaways.
Do pillow boxes need glue to assemble?
No. Pillow boxes ship flat and snap into shape thanks to the curved fold and crescent tuck ends that close on both sides without glue. This makes them quick to assemble and easy to store before use.
How are the boxes printed?
We print using offset for larger runs and digital for shorter ones, in full-color CMYK or exact Pantone brand colors. Soy-based inks keep colors rich and recycling-friendly, and finishes like matte or gloss lamination, foil stamping, embossing, and spot UV are available.
What products fit in a pillow box?
Pillow boxes suit small and slim items such as jewelry, accessories, scarves, gift cards, soap, cosmetic samples, candy and chocolate, wedding and party favors, retail giveaways, and small apparel. We size the box and its curve to fit your product snugly.
What is the turnaround time?
Standard production runs about 10 to 12 business days after proof approval. Rush service is available in 6 to 8 business days when you need your pillow boxes sooner. We ship flat for easy assembly with free delivery across the USA.
Are eco-friendly pillow boxes available?
Yes. Recyclable kraft stock paired with soy-based inks makes a sustainable choice for brands that want greener packaging. Ask about our eco-friendly boxes if you want recyclable or responsibly sourced materials throughout your order.
Do you offer free design help?
Absolutely. Our design team provides a free custom dieline and a print-ready proof, and we help refine your artwork at no extra charge. You approve a digital proof, and a physical pre-production sample, before we print the full run.
How do I get started and request samples?
