Sleeve & Matchbox Style Box

Also called: matchbox style box · tray and sleeve box · slipcase box

From 100–1000 units Working sample 3–5 days Production ~15 days DDP US/EU/UK/AU

A tray that slides inside a printed sleeve — the structure that lets one box carry several seasonal artworks without a new die. The sleeve takes the print and the tray stays plain, so a range can change look for the cost of a sleeve rather than a whole box. Hand-assembled in runs from 300 to 1000 units, sampled in 3–5 days, DDP-inclusive to the US, EU, UK, and AU.
