Sliding Boxes are rigid drawer-style packaging where an inner tray slides out of a printed outer sleeve, made for brands that want a tactile, matchbox-style open. The box is built from rigid chipboard wrapped in custom-printed paper, so it feels solid in hand and prints sharp on every face.
The slide-out drawer gives a satisfying pull that keeps the product secure until the moment you want it shown, which suits gifting and subscription sets where the open matters. Because both the sleeve and the tray carry print, you get two surfaces to brand - one for the outside, one for the inner reveal. Tea brands, chocolatiers, and tech accessory makers favor this style for repeat-use boxes customers keep.

Printing & Finishing
Choose matte lamination for an understated sleeve or gloss for color pop. Foil stamp a mark on the pull edge, emboss or deboss the brand on the tray face, and add spot UV for selective shine. A foam or EVA insert holds contents through the slide. Sliding Boxes take print on both the sleeve and the drawer, so finishing carries across the full open.
