Frequently Asked Questions

A single platform to manage your end-to-end packaging workflow

Below you'll find answers to some common questions around creating a custom box. Every order is little different though, so don't hesitate to reach out with anything else you might be wondering.

A sleeve box is a type of packaging design that consists of two parts; a sturdy outer covering (sleeve) and an inner box or tray that slides in and out of the sleeve. Commonly, a sleeve box is also referred to as a sliding box or slipcase. Such boxes are greatly used to pack various products including gifts, retail, books, and other items.
We need custom sleeve boxes because they play a vital part in various aspects. Providing enhanced product protection, better branding opportunities, and improved customer experience are their key roles. Besides this, their ability to get customized to specific product requirements and marketing strategies makes them a valuable asset for businesses. This helps to set them apart from others and create a stellar market impact.
Sleeve packaging offers a myriad of advantages due to its versatile, space-saving, and cost-effective nature. It also includes ample branding space, enhanced aesthetics, and effective product information. The snug-fit construction of these packaging solutions provides better protection for the products. Moreover, it also participates in creating a positive unboxing experience and fostering customer satisfaction. Also, sleeve packaging provides a canvas where the incorporation of promotional messaging helps the brand stand out in a competitive environment.
Customizing your packaging sleeves opens a wide range of options to enhance your product presentation. You can add die-cut windows for product visibility, foil stamping for a luxurious touch, and embossing or de-bossing for added texture. Spot UV coating can be used to highlight specific elements. Reveal sleeves with a siding mechanism provide an interactive touch. Moreover, consider perforations or tear strips to enhance user convenience during unboxing. Select the most appropriate option for your packaging sleeves.
A type of packaging, specially used to pack food products, consisting of two parts is called sleeve food packaging. It includes an outer covering or a sleeve and an inner box that contains food. The inner tray or box slides in and out of the sleeve. The purpose of the sleeve is to provide extra protection, better aesthetic appeal, and ample branding opportunities.
To measure a box sleeve, obtain accurate dimensions of the outer sleeve and the inner box it encases. Start by measuring the length, width, and height of both the outer sleeve and the inner box. If the materials are thick then also consider their thickness. To calculate the overall dimensions, combine the measurements of both the outer sleeve and the inner box. However, it is necessary to pay special attention to ensure that the inner tray snugly fits within the outer covering.
Paper sleeve packaging is a type of packaging that is primarily designed from paper materials. Typically, paperboard or cardstock is commonly used to make the outer sleeve and the inner box or tray.
