Pillow Boxes

Pillow boxes are a charming and distinctive packaging format with their signature curved, pillow-like shape. The unique silhouette makes them instantly recognisable and adds a touch of elegance to small products, gifts, and party favours. They are lightweight, easy to assemble, and cost-effective — yet they deliver visual impact far beyond their simplicity.

At Perklets Print, we produce custom pillow boxes in a range of sizes, from small jewellery-sized boxes to larger gift boxes. Each box is die-cut from premium card stock, printed in full CMYK colour, and can be finished with lamination, foil stamping, or spot UV for added refinement.

Pillow boxes are perfect for jewellery, confectionery, cosmetic samples, USB drives, small accessories, wedding favours, and promotional giveaways. Their flat-pack nature makes them incredibly efficient to store and ship, and they can be assembled in seconds without glue or tape.

FAQs: Pillow Boxes

What products suit pillow boxes?

Pillow boxes are ideal for jewellery, small cosmetics, confectionery, USB drives, gift cards, hair accessories, candle samples, wedding favours, and promotional items. Anything small and lightweight works perfectly.

Can I get pillow boxes in kraft paper?

Yes, we offer both white SBS card and natural kraft card. Kraft pillow boxes have a rustic, eco-friendly aesthetic that is popular for artisan products, organic brands, and wedding favours.

Do pillow boxes need glue to assemble?

No, pillow boxes are pre-scored and die-cut so they fold into shape without any adhesive. Simply curve the panels and tuck in the end flaps. Assembly takes seconds.

Can I add a ribbon or string?

Yes, we can add a die-cut slot for threading ribbon or string through the box. This is a popular option for wedding favours and gift presentation.

What is the maximum size available?

Our standard range goes up to 230x150x50mm. Larger custom sizes are possible but may affect the structural integrity of the pillow shape. We will advise on the best size for your product.
