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.

Materials & Specifications

  • Material: Paperboard or cardstock pillow box
  • Weight: 300-400gsm paperboard option
  • Printing: Full-color CMYK
  • Finishing: Matte or gloss lamination, spot UV, foil stamping, embossing
  • Options: PET window cutout, hang-hole
  • Sustainability: FSC-certified paper option

Best Used For

  • Jewelry, accessories, and small gifts
  • Cosmetics and sample sets
  • Retail and boutique shelf packaging
  • Wedding and event favors

Printing & Finishing

Choose matte or gloss lamination for a clean surface, spot UV to spotlight a logo, foil stamping for shine, or embossing for a tactile mark. A PET window adds a product preview without opening the box.
