Cardboard Pillow Boxes are curved-edge cardstock packages, custom-printed for jewelry, accessories, small electronics, and retail gift sets that need a slim, easy-open shape. We manufacture them in the US to match your brand.
The pillow form tucks closed without tape or glue, so a customer opens it in one motion and a retailer fills it in seconds. Add a PET window to show the product through the front, or a hang-hole so the box works on a peg display - both useful for accessory and boutique brands selling at retail.

Which Cardboard Works Best for Pillow Boxes
Most cardboard pillow boxes run on one of two stocks. Kraft paperboard (300-400gsm) gives a natural, uncoated look that suits soaps, favors, and earth-toned brands, and recyclable or FSC-certified paper can be specified for these builds. White SBS (14-18pt) prints brighter full-color graphics, so it's the usual pick for cosmetics and jewelry where color accuracy matters. Heavier stock holds the curve better on larger boxes; lighter stock folds more easily for small favor sizes. If you want the natural-stock route across your line, see our custom soap boxes for a matching kraft finish.
Common Sizes and Retail Uses
The pillow shape suits flat or low-profile items: gift cards, hair accessories, sachets, sample sets, and small candles. For countertop merchandising, pair them with retail display boxes so single units sell from an open tray. Brands that need a product preview can add a PET window, the same option used on our candle boxes with window. Orders start at 50 units with free dieline design included, and production runs from about 7 business days after proof approval. Request a quote with your dimensions and we'll spec the stock for you.
