How much cheaper is a folding drawer box?

Typically up to 60% less than a rigid drawer box, because both the sleeve and tray are die-cut flat from 350–450 gsm board and assemble without glue.

What weight can it carry?

Up to about 800 g. It suits tea, cosmetics sachets, cards and confectionery rather than glass or hardware.

Can the inside of the tray be printed?

Yes. Inside-tray printing is available and is the cheapest way to add a brand message that is only seen when the drawer is opened.

Ex-works price, excluding freight and duty. Freight is charged by weight, so it does not fall per unit as you order more — budget roughly USD 0.15–0.65 per unit depending on size, destination and whether the volume justifies sea freight. Final price depends on dimensions, board, printing and finishing.

Product Details

Where a rigid drawer box is out of budget, a folding version delivers the same slide-out reveal from 350–450 gsm board. Both sleeve and tray ship flat and assemble without glue at your end.

What drives your unit price

Everything here is made to order, so there is no list price. These four decisions set it:

Structure: A rigid box is hand-assembled; a folding carton is die-cut and glued in one pass. This is usually the largest single factor.
Board and material: Greyboard, SBS, kraft or corrugated behave differently on cost, and specialty paper or fabric wraps sit above all of them.
Finishing: Foil, embossing, spot UV and soft-touch each add a pass. One well-placed process usually beats three competing ones.
Quantity: Make-ready is charged once whether you run 500 or 50,000, so unit price falls steeply across the first few thousand.
