What Is a Sleeve and Tray Box?

A sleeve and tray box is a two-piece package: an open-ended printed sleeve and a tray that slides inside it. Pushing the tray out at a thumb notch, or pulling a ribbon, turns opening the box into a small reveal, which is why it is a favourite for gifts, jewelry and premium launches. Both parts ship flat and set up in seconds.

The tray slides out of the sleeve like a drawer, for a premium unboxing moment.

Thumb notches or a ribbon pull make the tray easy to push out and close again.

Available with a window sleeve, a belly band, an insert tray or double walls.

Print the sleeve, the tray or both, inside and out, in full color.

The Sleeve and Tray Boxes Style, Explained

Why Brands Choose Sleeve and Tray Boxes

Custom sleeve and tray boxes turn opening a package into a moment: the sleeve slides off, the tray glides out, and the product is revealed. For gifts, jewelry and premium launches, wholesale sleeve and tray boxes deliver a luxury feel at a carton price.

Two Pieces, Endless Combinations

Print the sleeve and keep the tray plain, or print both inside and out. Add a window, a ribbon pull, a belly band, an insert or double walls; each part is sized to your product so the tray slides smoothly.

Printed Sleeves That Sell on Shelf

Full-color CMYK and Pantone printing, foil stamping, embossing and spot UV make printed sleeve boxes stand out on shelf and in photos. Every finish is available with no extra plate charges.

Ships Flat, Sets Up in Seconds

Trays arrive flat with pre-glued corners and pop up square; sleeves open into a tube with one squeeze. That keeps freight and storage costs low and packing fast.

Eco-Friendly Sleeve Packaging

Kraft, recycled paperboard and FSC-certified options are available on request, so eco-friendly sleeve and tray boxes look premium without plastic.
