Pillow box Box Template Generator
Pillow box. A flat tube with arc-cut ends that curve in to close. No glue at the ends, no tuck, and it posts flat — which is why it is everywhere in jewellery, scarves and small gifts.
Not yet plate-checked. This template folds, closes and exports cleanly, but its blank has not yet been matched against the standard's own drawing in detail. Treat it as a starting point and check it before you spend anything.
What is Pillow box?
Pillow box is a folding carton with a glued side seam, closing at each end with a tuck, a lock or a glued flap. A flat tube with arc-cut ends that curve in to close. No glue at the ends, no tuck, and it posts flat — which is why it is everywhere in jewellery, scarves and small gifts.
Uses
- Retail and gift packaging, where the box is seen by the customer
- High-volume packing lines, since a pre-glued blank erects in one movement
Advantages
- Cut from a single blank, so there is one tool and one part to stock
- Arrives glued and flat, and erects quickly by hand or by machine
Disadvantages
- The glued joint sets the minimum order — short runs are rarely economical
Typical industries
- Gift and premium retail
Recommended board grades
Folding boxboard or solid bleached board, typically 250–450 microns. Heavier board for larger cartons, lighter where the carton is filled by machine.
