The Gift Sleeve is a printed paperboard band that slides over a base box, tray, or bundle to add branding and hold contents together without redesigning your inner packaging. It suits gift sets, candles, soap bars, and subscription kits that need a polished wrap at low cost.
A sleeve lets you reuse one plain base box across many SKUs and swap only the printed wrap, so seasonal or limited runs cost less and turn around faster. Full-color printing on both faces carries your story, ingredient list, or gift message around the band. Beauty brands often use a sleeve to dress a kraft tray for a holiday set.
