Pillow boxes

Elegant, Protective & Brand-Ready Pillow Box Packaging

From boutique jewellery brands to handmade soap sellers and seasonal gift boxes, pillow packaging offers a simple yet impactful way to elevate your product presentation. Lightweight, curved, and easy to seal, our pillow box packaging UK options are ideal for retail, events, or direct-to-customer unboxing.

We offer everything from kraft boxes for a natural look to glossy finishes for promotional giveaways. Whether you’re looking for branded merchandise boxes or want a pillow gift box that doubles as retail packaging, we help you find a fit that looks great, ships well, and stays on-brand.

A Breakdown of Pillow Box Types & Styles

Not all pillow boxes are made the same — and what works for soaps won’t necessarily work for USB sticks or hair ties. Here’s a closer look at what we offer:

• Cardboard Pillow Boxes – Sturdy and protective, suitable for shelf-ready retail or online fulfilment
• Kraft Pillow Boxes – Uncoated brown or white board, fully recyclable and available in FSC®-certified stock
• Christmas Pillow Boxes – Printed with holiday-themed graphics, ideal for retail promotions or festive gift kits
• Pillow Boxes for Gifts – Available with foil stamping, die-cut windows, and satin ribbon closures for premium gifting
• Custom Pillow Boxes – Fully branded inside and out, with size, print, and finish options to match your product range

Need something non-standard? We can supply a pillow box template to base your design on, or help you create a fresh dieline from scratch.

Our Experience with Pillow Box Production

We’ve produced and shipped thousands of pillow boxes across the UK — from boutique retailers and artisan makers to event agencies and national campaigns. Whether you’re ordering 250 or 25,000 units, our team applies the same level of care, consistency, and print precision every time.

What Pillow Packaging Does for Your Business?

A well-made pillow box isn’t just about presentation — it adds real value to your brand. Here’s what you can expect from properly fitted, professionally printed pillow packaging:

• ✅ Protects the product from minor impact and scratching
• ✅ Improves unboxing with satisfying, curved open/close motion
• ✅ Reduces returns by securing items during transit
• ✅ Builds loyalty through memorable design and tactile feel
• ✅ Supports branding with custom print, colour, and texture

And with the right finish, a pillow box can even double as display packaging — especially when paired with a cut-out window or clear sticker seal.

Printing Options & Artwork Privacy

We use both digital and offset printing depending on how many boxes you need and how fast you need them. Digital works best for small runs and tight deadlines. Offset’s better when you’re ordering in bulk and want colour consistency across the board. And if you’re uploading artwork — no worries, it stays private and is only used for your order. We handle all files securely.

Sustainability & Materials

We offer pillow boxes in recyclable and FSC®-certified cardboard upon request. While all our kraft board and most white-lined options are classed as “sustainable,” we’re happy to confirm whether your selected material is certified eco-friendly based on your industry’s requirements. Just ask before ordering.

No plastic coatings or laminates unless specifically requested.
