Comprehensive Guide & Technical Breakdown
A pillow box is a curved, elliptical folding carton that gets its name from its distinctive puffed, pillow-like shape when assembled.
### How Pillow Boxes Work:
- Shipped 100% Flat: Stored as flat pre-glued sleeves, taking up negligible storage space.
- Pop-Open Assembly: Simply squeeze the sides and fold down the two curved end flaps. The tension in the curved creases locks the box shut securely without adhesive or tape.
- Jewellery & Accessories: Earrings, necklaces, watches, silk scarves, cufflinks, and ties.
- Cosmetics & Toiletries: Artisanal soaps, lip balms, mini skincare tubes, bath salts.
- Events & Hospitality: Wedding favours, corporate giveaways, conference swag, and gift card holders.
- Apparel: T-shirts and lingerie rolled into a compact cylindrical parcel.
