Buyer guide
What are pillow boxes?
Pillow boxes are made from one flat piece of board with curved scores at each end. When the ends are pushed in, they close themselves into a soft pillow shape — no glue, no tape and no inserts.
Because they are flat until used and quick to close, pillow boxes are a favourite for wedding favours, gift cards, jewelry, soaps, hair accessories and samples. They look premium for very little board.
We print pillow boxes in full colour, with patterns or simply a logo on kraft. A window can be added to show the product, and a ribbon or sleeve turns them into gift packaging.

What affects the price of pillow boxes?

Size
Pillow boxes use very little board, so they are one of the lowest-cost styles.
2
Window and foil
Each extra finish adds a production step.

Full-colour both sides costs more than a single logo.
4
Quantity
Higher quantities lower the unit price.
How to save
Ways to lower your cost per box
- Use kraft with a one-colour logo for favours
- Keep one size for several products
- Add a ribbon or sticker instead of foil for a premium touch
