Custom Pillow Boxes
Pillow boxes are one-piece paperboard boxes with curved ends that press in to close, giving a soft, pillow-like shape. They suit light, flat products such as jewelry, gift cards, scarves, socks and wedding favors, and they assemble without glue.

What fits in a pillow box
Pillow boxes are best for light, fairly flat items. The curved body is deepest in the middle and tapers to nothing at the ends, so measure the product's thickness against the box's middle depth, not its full length.
- Jewelry on a card or in a pouch
- Gift cards and vouchers
- Socks, scarves and folded accessories
- Wedding and party favors
- Beauty samples and soaps
Closing and finishing touches
The ends press in and hold by the board's tension. For gifting, add a ribbon around the middle or a printed sticker across the end; a matching hang tag on the ribbon makes a simple, branded gift.
- Mini folded tags
A small tag to tie to the ribbon.
Board and print
Kraft pillow boxes look natural with a one-color logo; coated board takes full-color patterns and foil. Lighter board curves more smoothly, so pillow boxes usually use the lighter end of the paperboard range.

Questions about custom pillow boxes
Do pillow boxes need glue?

How heavy can the contents be?
Pillow boxes suit light items. For anything heavier than a small jar, choose a tuck end or tray box.
Can a pillow box have a window?
Yes. Add a die-cut window in the quote form.
Can I print inside a pillow box?
Yes. Choose printing on both sides.
Are pillow boxes good for weddings?
Yes. They're a popular favor box, printed with names and a date, and tied with ribbon.
