Custom Tray and Sleeve Boxes

Custom Tray and Sleeve Boxes Designed for Secure Product Presentation

Tray and Sleeve Boxes use a sliding tray and outer sleeve to package products in a neat, organized format. The design allows controlled opening and is widely used for products that require a precise fit and a structured presentation.

At Hot Custom Boxes, we manufacture Custom Tray and Sleeve Boxes for retail products, gift sets, food, cosmetics, electronics, and other consumer goods with free design support.

What Are Tray and Sleeve Boxes?

Tray & Sleeve Boxes consist of two separate parts: an inner tray that holds the product and an outer sleeve that slides over it. The tray can be opened by pushing from one side or with optional features such as a thumb notch or pull ribbon.

This packaging style is widely used for chocolates, jewelry, candles, cosmetics, electronics, promotional kits, and multi product gift sets. It is also known as Sliding Drawer Boxes, Pull Out Sleeve Boxes, or Two Piece Packaging Boxes, although all describe the same sliding box structure with different construction options.

Flexible Size and Structure Options for Every Product

We produce personalized Tray and Sleeve Boxes in custom sizes to match different product dimensions and packaging requirements. The tray depth, wall height, sleeve fit, and opening style are adjusted for the selected box design.

Available styles include single wall trays, double wall trays, flip flop designs, and drawer boxes with optional ribbon pulls. Standard and custom die lines support square, rectangular, shallow, deep, and custom shaped packaging.

Standard sizes include:

Suitable Materials for Tray and Sleeve Packaging

Material selection depends on the packaging dimensions, product weight, sidewall structure, and required board thickness. Our production team can manufacture custom material specifications when standard grades do not suit the intended construction.

Printing Options for Clear Brand Communication

Printing places your logo, brand colors, instructions, ingredients, and required product details on the packaging. Printed Tray & Sleeve Boxes can use different methods based on order volume, artwork complexity, and color requirements. We offer:

• Offset and Digital Printing: Offset printing is suitable for medium and large production runs, while digital printing works well for prototypes, short runs, and designs that change frequently.
• CMYK and PMS Printing: CMYK reproduces full color images, gradients, and illustrations, while PMS color matching provides consistent brand colors across production batches.
• Screen Printing: Applies solid ink coverage for simple graphics, especially on rigid board wraps.
• Single or Double Sided Printing: Print artwork and product information on the exterior, interior, or both surfaces of the tray and sleeve.

Finishing Options for Surface and Texture

Finishing takes place after printing to modify the surface appearance, texture, or selected design details. Each treatment produces a distinct result and should match the artwork rather than compete with it. Available options include:

• Matte, Gloss, and Soft Touch Lamination: Choose a smooth matte finish, a reflective gloss surface, or a soft touch texture depending on the desired appearance.
• Spot UV and AQ Coating: Spot UV highlights selected artwork with a raised gloss, while AQ coating provides an overall matte, satin, or gloss finish.
• Foil Stamping: Applies metallic or colored foil to logos, text, and decorative elements.
• Embossing and Debossing: Create raised or recessed details to add depth and definition to selected areas.

Business Benefits Beyond Product Packaging

Tray and Sleeve Boxes offer practical benefits beyond product packaging. Their sliding design supports efficient packing, organized inventory, and convenient product access throughout the supply chain and during customer use.

• Simplified Packing Process: Products can be placed into the tray before the outer sleeve is applied, making assembly more efficient during production.
• Improved Inventory Organization: Printed labels, color coded sleeves, and identification panels help distinguish product variations without opening the package.
• Product Set Organization: Multiple items can be arranged in a single package for gift sets, promotional kits, and coordinated product collections.
• Reusable Drawer Design: The tray allows convenient access for products that are stored and used repeatedly.

Built-In Structural Features That Improve Product Protection

Tray and Sleeve Boxes can be built with single wall or reinforced double wall trays depending on the required construction. A precise sleeve fit helps the tray slide smoothly while maintaining its intended position.

Opening options include thumb notches and satin pull ribbons for quick access. Interior layouts can be configured with paperboard dividers, compartments, EVA foam inserts, or molded inserts to accommodate individual products or multi item sets.
